Her first marriage, probably before 960, was to «u»Stephen, Viscount of Gévaudan «/u». Her second marriage was to «u»Raymond III «/u», «u»Count of Toulouse «/u» and «u»Prince of Gothia «/u», in 975. He died in 978. In 982, she married «u»Louis «/u», the young son of «u»Lothair of France «/u», and the two were jointly crowned «u»Monarchs of Aquitaine «/u» on the same day at «u»Brioude «/u». The large difference in age between the spouses was cause for a quick divorce in 984. She fled then to «u»Arles «/u», where she contracted, against papal advice, a marriage with «u»William I of Provence «/u» in 984. She gave him a daughter, «u»Constance of Arles «/u», who later married «u»Robert II of France «/u». Her final marriage was to «u»Otto-William, Duke of Burgundy «/u». «b»Notes «u»1. ^«/u»«/b» Variously given as Alice, Adelais, Adalais, or Azalais. «u»«b»2. ^«/u»«/b» «u»Adélaïde Blanche d'Anjou <http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ANJOU,%20MAINE.htm>«/u» «u»«b»3. ^«/u»«/b» "la Blanche."
