Gilbert, Duke of Burgundy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gilbert of Chalon or Giselbert (died April 8, 956) was duke of Burgundy between 952 and 956. He ruled Burgundy in the name of his wife, Ermengarde, sister of Hugh the Black, with whom he had two daughters: Adelais and Liutgarde. Gilbert never managed to maintain the independence of the duchy in the struggles for power of 10th century France. In 955, he became a vassal of Hugh the Great, count of Paris and was compelled to give his oldest daughter, Lieutgard, to Hugh's son Odo of Paris.
