Hilduin IV (d. 1063),
Ebles I, Count of Roucy
.
Little is known about Hilduin despite his many renowned children and grandchildren.
Hériman of Tournai records that Philip I of France
appointed Hilduin as an ambassador to Rome (date unknown).
Sometime between 1033 and 1054, probably closer to the latter, Hilduin was driven from Montdidier by Count Ralph IV of Valois, who continued to rule it until his death in 1074.[1]
Hildiun married Adelaide (Alice) de Roucy, daughter of Ebles I, Count of Roucy, and Beatrix of Hainaut.[2] They had nine children:
- Ebles II, Count of Roucy, married Sibylle de Apulia,[3] daughter of Robert Guiscard, Duke of Apulia and Sichelgaita de Salerno
- Andre (d. after 1118), Bishop of Châlons (1122-1127) and daughter Alix married Erard I, Count of Brienne.
- Beatrix de Ramerupt (d. after 1129), married Geoffrey II, Count of Perche[3]
- Marguerite de Ramerupt, married Count of Clermont-en-Beauvaisis[3]
- Ermentrude de Ramerupt (d. after 1102), married Thibaut, Count of Reynel, son of Olri, Count of Reynel.[2]
- Ada de Ramerupt (d. after 1121), married first Geoffroy, Seigneur de Guise, and second Gauthier, Seigneur de Ath
- Adélaïs, married Arnold I, Count of Chiny[2]
- Aelis de Ramerupt, married Conan “Falcon” de la Sarraz.Bishop of Laon.[2]
- Felicia of Roucy, married Sancho I, King of Aragon.[2]
Hilduin was apparently the last Count of Montdidier, the line being continued with the Counts of Roucy.
