Cornell UP, 2010, p. 20

"The viscounts of Châteaudun were one of the most powerful families of the 11th and 12th-century Loire region. Viscount Geoffrey I was the first viscount to appear consistently in the charter evidence and may have been descended from the Carolingian count of Maine. Yet the extant documents portray Geoffrey as a warrior and plunderer rather than a Carolingian aristocrat. His wife Hildegarde, however, was a member of well-established and socially prominent Tourangeau family. ... Geoffrey I of Chateaudun pursued marriages with ell-established families for his children as well.... [especially] with families whose seats of power and interest lay north of the Loire Valley."
