Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_I,_Count_of_Soissons
Guy I (d. after 986), son of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois, and Adele, daughter of 
Robert I of France. Count of Soissons, inherited from his father upon his death in 943.
[1] There is considerable confusion about both Guy’s parentage. Another source 
claims that Guy was the grandson of Herbert II, being the son of Adalbert I, Count of 
Vermandois,[2] although there is no evidence that Adalbert was a Count of Soissons.

Little is known about Guy. His name appears in a 974 charter in which Lothair of 
France confirmed the privileges of monastery of Saint-Thierry near Reims. Lothair also 
confirmed the monastery of Saint-Eloy de Noyon in memory of Guy’s nephew Liudolf of 
Vermandois, Bishop of Noyon and Tournai. Guy founded the abbey at Saint-Quentin 
near Péronne, and visited Rome in the mid-980s.

Guy married Adelisa, the daughter of a Count Giselbert of which nothing is known. Guy 
and Adelisa had one daughter:
Adelisa de Soissons, Countess of Soissons.

Upon his death, Adelisa assumed the lead of the Count of Soissons. Guy was the last 
of the Carolingian Counts of Soissons, his daughter known as an Angevins.
