Adela Capet, Adèle of France or Adela of Flanders[1], known also as Adela the Holy or Adela of Messines; (1009 – 8 January 1079, Messines) was the second daughter of Robert II (the Pious), and Constance of Arles. As dowry to her future husband, she received from her father the title of Countess of Corbie.
Her family
She was a member of the House of Capet, the rulers of France. As the wife of Baldwin V, she was Countess of Flanders from 1036 to 1067.
She married first 1027 Richard III Duke of Normandy (997 † 1027). They never had children.
As a widow, she remarried in 1028 in Paris to Baldwin V 'the Pious' of Flanders (1012 † 1067). Their children were:
* Baldwin VI of Flanders, (1030 † 1070)
* Matilda of Flanders (1032 † 1083). In 1053 she married William Duke of Normandy, the future king of England
* Robert I of Flanders, (1033-1093)
* Henry of Flanders (c. 1035)
* Sir Richard of Flanders (c. 1050-1105)
Political influence
Adèle’s influence lay mainly in her family connections. On the death of her brother, Henry I of France, the guardianship of his seven-year-old son Philip I fell jointly on his widow, Ann of Kiev, and on his brother-in-law, Adela's husband, so that from 1060 to 1067, they were Regents of France.
Battle of Cassel (1071)
When Adela's third son, Robert the Frisian, was to invade Flanders in 1071 to become the new count (at that time the count was Adela's grandson, Arnulf III), she asked Phillip I to stop him. Phillip sent troops in order to aid Arnulf, being among the forces sent by the king a contingent of ten Norman knights led by William FitzOsborn. Robert's forces attacked Arnulf's numerically superior army at Cassel before it could organize, and Arnulf himself was killed along with William FitzOsborn. The overwhelming triumph of Robert made Phillip invest him with Flanders, making the peace. A year later, Phillip married Robert's stepdaughter, Bertha of Holland, and in 1074, Phillip restored the seigneurie of Corbie to the crown.
Church influence
Adèle had an especially great interest in Baldwin V’s church-reform politics and was behind her husband’s founding of several collegiate churches. Directly or indirectly, she was responsible for establishing the Colleges of Aire (1049), Lille (1050) and Harelbeke (1064) as well as the abbeys of Messines (1057) and Ename (1063). After Baldwin’s death in 1067, she went to Rome, took the nun’s veil from the hands of Pope Alexander II and retreated to the Benedictine convent of Messines, near Ypres. There she died, being buried at the same monastery. Her commemoration day is 8 September.

Adèle had an especially great interest in Baldwin V’s church-reform politics and was behind her husband’s founding of several collegiate churches. Directly or indirectly, she was responsible for establishing the Colleges of Aire (1049), Lille (1050) and Harelbeke (1064) as well as the abbeys of Messines (1057) and Ename (1063). After Baldwin’s death in 1067, she went to Rome, took the nun’s veil from the hands of Pope Alexander II and retreated to the Benedictine convent of Messines. There she died. Her commemoration day is 8 September.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adela_of_France,_Countess_of_Flanders
Adela Capet, Adèle of France or Adela of Flanders[1], known also as Adela the Holy or Adela of Messines; (1009 – 8 January 1079, Messines) was the second daughter of Robert II (the Pious), and Constance of Arles. As dowry to her future husband, she received from her father the title of Countess of Corbie.
Her family
She was a member of the House of Capet, the rulers of France. As the wife of Baldwin V, she was Countess of Flanders from 1036 to 1067.
She married first 1027 Richard III Duke of Normandy (997 † 1027). They never had children. As a widow, she remarried in 1028 in Paris to Baldwin V of Flanders (1012 † 1067). Their children were:
* Baldwin VI of Flanders, (1030 † 1070)
* Matilda of Flanders (1032 † 1083). In 1053 she married William Duke of Normandy, the future king of England
* Robert I of Flanders, (1033-1093)
* Henry of Flanders (c. 1035)
* Sir Richard of Flanders (c. 1050-1105)
[edit] Political influence
Adèle’s influence lay mainly in her family connections. On the death of her brother, Henry I of France, the guardianship of his seven-year-old son Philip I fell jointly on his widow, Ann of Kiev, and on his brother-in-law, Adela's husband, so that from 1060 to 1067, they were Regents of France.
[edit] Battle of Cassel (1071)
When Adela's third son, Robert the Frisian, was to invade Flanders in 1071 to become the new count (at that time the count was Adela's grandson, Arnulf III), she asked Phillip I to stop him. Phillip sent troops in order to aid Arnulf, being among the forces sent by the king a contingent of ten Norman knights led by William FitzOsborn. Robert's forces attacked Arnulf's numerically superior army at Cassel before it could organize, and Arnulf himself was killed along with William FitzOsborn. The overwhelming triumph of Robert made Phillip invest him with Flanders, making the peace. A year later, Phillip married Robert's stepdaughter, Bertha of Holland, and in 1074, Phillip restored the seigneurie of Corbie to the crown.
[edit] Church influence
Adèle had an especially great interest in Baldwin V’s church-reform politics and was behind her husband’s founding of several collegiate churches. Directly or indirectly, she was responsible for establishing the Colleges of Aire (1049), Lille (1050) and Harelbeke (1064) as well as the abbeys of Messines (1057) and Ename (1063). After Baldwin’s death in 1067, she went to Rome, took the nun’s veil from the hands of Pope Alexander II and retreated to the Benedictine convent of Messines, near Ypres. There she died, being buried at the same monastery. Honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, her commemoration day is 8 September.

Ehen und Nachkommen [Bearbeiten]Adela wurde 1027 mit Richard III. (* um 1001; † 6. August 1027), dem dritten Herzog der Normandie, verlobt. Ob diese Verlobung in die Ehe mündete ist ungewiss, da Richard III. noch im selben Jahr verstarb.
Im Jahre 1028 heiratete Adela Balduin V. von Flandern (der Fromme oder Balduin von Lille ; * um 1012 in Arras; † 1. September 1067 in Lille), der von 1036 bis 1067 Graf von Flandern war. Aus dieser Ehe stammten drei Kinder:
Balduin VI. (* ca. 1030; † 17. Juli 1070), der 1067 seinem Vater als Graf von Flandern nachfolgte
Robert der Friese (* ca. 1035; † 3. Oktober 1093), der 1071 als Robert I. Graf von Flandern wurde und
Mathilde von Flandern, (* ca. 1032; † 2. November 1083), die 1053 den Herzog Wilhelm II. von der Normandie heiratete. Dieser eroberte 1066 England, wurde als Wilhelm I. König von England und ging so als Wilhelm der Eroberer in die Geschichte ein.
Leben [Bearbeiten]Adelas Einfluss wird zugeschrieben, dass Balduin V. beim Tode ihres Bruders, des französischen Königs Heinrich I., die Vormundschaft über dessen 7-jährigen Sohn Philipp I. erwarb und somit von 1060 bis 1067 Regent von Frankreich war. Adela hatte insbesondere einen großen Anteil an der kirchlichen Reformpolitik Balduins V. und hat auch viele Kirchenstiftungen ihres Gemahls inspiriert. Direkt oder indirekt sind ihr die Errichtung der Stifte von Aire (1049), Lille (1050) und Harelbeke (1064) sowie der Abteien von Messines bei Ypern (1057) und Ename (1063) zu verdanken. Nach dem Tode Balduins V. im Jahre 1067 reiste Adela nach Rom, erhielt den Nonnenschleier aus den Händen Papst Alexanders II. und trat nach ihrer Rückkehr in die Frauenabtei des Benediktinerordens in Messines ein. Dort blieb sie bis zu ihrem Tod. Ihr Gedenktag ist der 8. September.

[edit] Her family
She was a member of the House of Capet, the rulers of France. As the wife of Baldwin V, she was Countess of Flanders from 1036 to 1067.
She married first 1027 Richard III Duke of Normandy (997 † 1027). They never had children. As a widow, she remarried in 1028 in Paris to Baldwin V of Flanders (1012 † 1067). Their children were:
Baldwin VI of Flanders, (1030 † 1070)
Matilda of Flanders (1032 † 1083). In 1053 she married William Duke of Normandy, the future king of England
Robert I of Flanders, (1033-1093)
Henry of Flanders (c. 1035)
Sir Richard of Flanders (c. 1050-1105)
[edit] Political influence
Adèle’s influence lay mainly in her family connections. On the death of her brother, Henry I of France, the guardianship of his seven-year-old son Philip I fell jointly on his widow, Ann of Kiev, and on his brother-in-law, Adela's husband, so that from 1060 to 1067, they were Regents of France. [edit] Battle of Cassel (1071)
When Adela's third son, Robert the Frisian, was to invade Flanders in 1071 to become the new count (at that time the count was Adela's grandson, Arnulf III), she asked Philip I to stop him. Philip sent troops in order to aid Arnulf, being among the forces sent by the king a contingent of ten Norman knights led by William FitzOsborn. Robert's forces attacked Arnulf's numerically superior army at Cassel before it could organize, and Arnulf himself was killed along with William FitzOsborn. The overwhelming triumph of Robert made Philip invest him with Flanders, making the peace. A year later, Philip married Robert's stepdaughter, Bertha of Holland, and in 1074, Philip restored the seigneurie of Corbie to the crown. [edit] Church influence
Adèle had an especially great interest in Baldwin V’s church-reform politics and was behind her husband’s founding of several collegiate churches. Directly or indirectly, she was responsible for establishing the Colleges of Aire (1049), Lille (1050) and Harelbeke (1064) as well as the abbeys of Messines (1057) and Ename (1063). After Baldwin’s death in 1067, she went to Rome, took the nun’s veil from the hands of Pope Alexander II and retreated to the Benedictine convent of Messines, near Ypres. There she died, being buried at the same monastery. Honored as a saint in the Roman Catholic Church, her commemoration day is 8 September. -------------------- ADELA de France

(-Messines 8 Jan 1079, bur Messines, Benedictine monastery). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "soror…regis Henrici Adela" as wife of "Balduino Insulano"[229]. The Genealogiæ Scriptoris Fusniacensis names "Alam comitissam Flandrensem" as the daughter of King Robert[230]. She is named as daughter of King Robert in a manuscript whose attribution to Orderic Vitalis is disputed, which also refers to her marriage[231]. Kerrebrouck mentions her betrothal to Duke Richard "très jeune" but does not cite the primary source on which this is based[232]. "Richardus Nortmannorum dux" agreed grants of property to "Adela" on the occasion of their marriage by charter dated Jan 1026, which does not specify her parentage[233]. Her father gave her the seigneurie of Corbie as her dowry. Ctss de Contenance. She founded the Benedictine monastery at Messines near Ypres.
