Witichin is traditionally given as Robert's father, but more recent
scholarship disputes this. {See New England Historic and Genealolgical
Register, October, 1963, pp. 268-71.} Robert, Count of Anjou and Blois, was
one of the great leaders in the Carolingian period and became Rector (Lay
Abbot) of St. Martin de Marmoutier, near Tours, in 852. He was killed in
action against the Norsemen. He was created Count of Anjou and of Blois,
and acquired the countships of Auxerre and Nevers. He is remembered for his
heroic defense of the Frankish realm lying between the Seine and Loire
rivers against the Norse and Bretons. His title of "Duke" was military,
not hereditary. Modern scholarship states that he is Rutpert IV, Count in
the Wormsgau as early as 836, whose father is Rutpert III, Count of record
from 812, dead by 834. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992), line 48, shows
his mother to be Adelaide or Aelis of Tours and Alsace (b. ca. 819, d. ca.
866), widow of Conrad I, Count of Aargau and Auxerre (d. 863) and dau. of
Hugh, Count of Tours.
