Research notes

ADELAIDE of AQUITAINE (c.945-1004), daughter of William III Towhead of Aquitaine and Gerloc of Normandy (F99797, both already in the tree); queen of HUGH CAPET; mother of Robert II (our line). This rung LOOPS the Capetian queenship onto the existing Aquitaine dukes and, through Gerloc, onto Rollo. Standard well-documented medieval royal genealogy per the cited authorities; contested rungs note-only, not hardened.
