Rotrou I (died 1080), Viscount of Châteaudun and Count of Perche (as Rotrou II), son 
of Geoffrey II, Viscount of Châteaudun, and Helvise de Corbon (d. 1 March 1080), 
daughter of Rainard, Lord of Pithiviers.

As with his brother, he was noted in charters providing donations to the Abbey of 
Saint-Denis de Nogent. Rotrou attempted to avenge the murder of his father by 
attacking Thierry, Bishop of Chartres, an act for which he was briefly 
excommunicated.

Rotrou fought William of Gouët, a follower of Stephen, Count of Blois, (and probably 
the father of William Gouët IV, husband of his granddaughter Isabelle of Champagne) 
for the strongholds of Perche-Gouët. He also challenged Roger de Montgomerie and 
William the Conqueror, fighting in the insurrection of Robert Curthose against his 
father William.

Rotrou married Adelise (Adeliza) de Bellême, daughter of Guérin de Domfront. Rotrou 
and Adelise had five children:
Geoffrey II, Count of Mortagne and Count of Perche, married Béatrix de Montdidier de 
Roucy, had issue.
Hugues III, Viscount of Châteaudun
Rotrou de Châteaudun (d. after 1110), Lord of Montfort-le-Rotrou
Fulco de Châteaudun (d. after 1078)
Helvise de Châteaudun (d. after 1078).

Rotrou also had an illegitimate son named Robert “Manda Guerra” (d. after 1095).

Rotrou was succeeded as Viscount of Châteaudun by his son Hugues and, as Count 
of Perche, by his son Geoffroy.
