Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ermengarde-Gerberga_of_Anjou
Ermengarde-Gerberga of Anjou, also called Ermengarde of Anjou (c.?956 - c.?1024),
[a] was the Countess of Rennes, Regent of Brittany (992–994) and also Countess of 
Angoulême.

Ermengarde-Gerberga was born c.?956,[1] the daughter of Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou 
and Adele of Meaux.[2] She married Conan I of Rennes, Count of Rennes, in 973.[3] 
Her husband Conan of Rennes opposed her father and brother Fulk even though the 
marriage was apparently designed to form a political alliance between Anjou and 
Brittany.[4] Even after Conan had been killed by Fulk at the Battle of Conquereuil in 
992, and during the period 992-994 when Ermengarde was Regent for their son 
Geoffrey, she remained loyal to her brother Fulk III, Count of Anjou.[4] In 992, 
following the interests of her brother, and functioning as Regent, she accepted 
Capetian over-lordship for Rennes while rejecting that of Odo I, Count of Blois.[5]

About 1000[6] her brother Fulk III arranged his widowed sister to marry, secondly, 
William II of Angoulême, one of his close allies.[7]
