From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adela of Normandy (c. 1067 – c. March 8, 1137) was the daughter of William I of England and Matilda of Flanders. She was married to Stephen, Count of Blois between 1080 and 1084 and became the mother of:

  • William, Count of Chartres
  • Stephen of England
  • Odo of Blois, who died young
  • Theobald II of Champagne
  • Henry of Blois, who became the Bishop of Winchester

She lived long enough to see her son, Stephen, become King of England, but died soon afterwards.
