https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilduin_I,_Count_of_Montdidier
Hilduin I (died before 956), Count of Montdidier. It is unknown who the parents of 
Hilduin were. HIlduin was the founder of the House of Montdidier, which produced the 
Counts of Montdidier, Dammartin and Roucy.

There is considerable confusion as to the immediate family of Hilduin among historians 
and genealogists because of the lack of documented evidence, the preponderance of 
the names of Hilduin and Manasses in the family and the existence of other 
contemporary Hilduins (particularly, the Count of Montreuil).

The only creditable reference to Hilduin I was when Philip I, King of France, donated 
the village of Bagneux to the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in exchange for Combs 
la Ville by charter dated 1061, which recounts that Hugh the Great had granted Combs 
to Hilduino…comiti de Monte qui vocatur Desiderius, who died before his benefactor 
(before 956), and that Henry I, King of France, had regranted Combs to Manasses 
nepos supradicti Hilduini comitis [Manasses, grandson of Hilduin] just as suus 
avunculus Hilduinus [his uncle Hilduin] had held it, noting that Odo comes filius prefati 
Manassetis [Odo, son of Manasses] now claimed the property.

Historians disagree as to the exact disposition of the descendants, but all agree that 
they descended from Hersende, Dame of Ramerupt, who was married to Hilduin I, or 
his son of the same name, or his brother, or, in some interpretations, his daughter. We 
cannot resolve these competing claims and will assume that Hilduin was married to 
Hersende (Heldwide). In 948, the first church in Montdidier, Somme, was built near the 
castle of Charlemagne by Hersende.

The count and his wife had two children:
Hilduin II, Count of Arcis-sur-Aube and Seigneur de Ramerupt
Manasses (Manassé) (d. 991), Bishop of Troyes

The next known Count of Montdidier was Hilduin III, grandson of Hilduin I. The 
apparent gap in the countship is unexplained.

A common mistake is to assume the Hugh I, Count of Ponthieu, husband of Gisele, 
daughter of Hugh Capet, was the son of Hilduin I, when, in fact, his father was Hilduin 
(Herluin), Count of Montreuil, as discussed by Flodoard.
