Lambert of Chalon
Lambert of Chalon (French: Lambert de Chalon; before 930[1] - 22 February 978) was the count of Chalon from 956 to 978, and viscount of Autun.
He was the son of Robert of Dijon and Ingeltrude, and the brother[2] to Robert, viscount of Chalon and to Rudolf, viscount of Dijon.
Before 960, he married[1] Adelaide of Vienne, a daughter of count Hugh of Vienne and probably a widow[3] of a Wilhelmid count. Their children included:
- Hugh, count of Chalon and bishop of Auxerre[4]
- Mathilda, married Geoffrey I of Semur.[2]
There is still debate[1] about the precise kinship of Gerberga, who was married to Adalbert of Italy and to Henry I, Duke of Burgundy. In the scenario[3] where she is born from a previous marriage of Adelaide, Lambert would only be her step-father.
Lambert died in 978, was interred at Paray-le-Monial,[5] and was succeeded in Chalon by his son Hugh.[2]
