Notes individuelles

Her parentage is unknown. Her falsely attributed fathers include Heribert I of Vermandois, and also Hugues, "duke of Burgundy".

The legend has been questioned only recently. Baldwin reports that Erich Brandenburg in 1964 objected to the apparent uncle-niece marriage and expressed doubt as to Béatrix's name

Three years later in 1967, Karl Ferdinand Werner dealt with both of these objections, by giving the evidence that the mother of Hugues le Grand was indeed named Béatrix, and by pointing out that Heribert's wife could have been a daughter of Robert I by another marriage. In 1982 Constance Bouchard argued for the affiliation of Beatrix and Heribert, and in 1993 Christian Settipani gave an onomastic argument for making Heribert I the father of Béatrix, pointing out that Béatrix's son Hugues le Grand had an illegitimate son named Heribert. Unfortunately, Baldwin, notes, neither Werner nor Settipani mentioned any of the primary evidence for the parentage of Béatrix.

In 1994 Helmut Schwager argued against the affiliation and most recently, Baldwin adds, in a number of postings to the internet newsgroup/mailing list soc.genealogy.medieval/GEN-MEDIEVAL, Peter Stewart has argued persuasively against placing Béatrix as a daughter of Heribert I.

Baldwin notes that no contemporary record mentions Hugues le Grand as being a nephew of Heribert II. The silence of Flodoard on this matter is especially striking, since he mentions the fact that the sons of Heribert were nepotes of Hugues le Grand (or that Hugues was an avunculus of Heribert's sons) on several occasions....and we would therefore expect him to also mention Hugues as a nephew of Heribert if that were a valid relationship. However, Flodoard never refers to Hugues and Heribert as blood relatives, despite several opportunities to do so when they are named together.
