d 27 Jan 1070/1074
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry,_son_of_Robert_I_of_Burgundy
Henry of Burgundy (c. 1035 – January 27, 1070/1074), called the Gallant (le 
Damoiseau), was the eldest surviving son and heir of Robert I, Duke of Burgundy and 
his wife, Helie of Semur, and a grandson of King Robert II of France, thus making him 
a member of the House of Capet through its Burgundy cadet branch. Little is known 
about his life and he died shortly before his father, and thus was never duke himself. 
Two of his sons became dukes in succession after his father's death, while a third son 
became Count of Portugal through his marriage to Theresa, daughter of King Alfonso 
VI of León and Castile.

The name of Henry's wife is not known, though both Sibylla and Clémence have been 
suggested. The first of these derives from an undated obituary from Besançon, 
Sainte-Etienne, naming "Sibilla, mater ducus Burgundie" (Sibylla, mother of the Duke 
of Burgundy), it being reasoned that since she is not called duchess, she must have 
been married to the sole father of a duke who was not a duke himself, Henry. 
However it has been argued by Jean Richard that this is a reference to Sibylla of 
Burgundy, Duchess of Burgundy, mother of the then-ruling duke, Hugh II. Richard 
proposed based on the name's repeated use among the descendants of her son Odo I, 
Duke of Burgundy that she may have been named Clémence,[1] although Odo's wife 
had a sister, Clementia of Burgundy, who could have been the inspiration for its use 
among their descendants. Based on the use of the byname Borel by Odo I, genealogist 
Szabolcs de Vajay proposed that his mother was the daughter of Berenguer Ramon I, 
Count of Barcelona and his third wife, Guisle of Lluca, and hence granddaughter of 
count Ramon Borrell,[2][3][4] although there is no documentary evidence that this was 
the case. Henry's wife died on or after July 6, 1074.
