It is believed that she was a descendant of Adelaud de Loches, grandfather of Roscille de Loches, wife of Fulk I the Red, Count of Anjou. Hildegarde became Viscountess of Châteaudun upon the death of her husband Hugues I Viscount of Châteaudun.[1][2]
Hildegarde and Hugues had four children:
- Hugues II, Viscount of Châteaudun and Archbishop of Tours
- Adalaud, Seigneur de Château-Chinon
- Melisende, Viscountess of Châteaudun, married Fulcois, Count of Mortaigne, son of Rotrou, Seigneur de Nogent.[2]
- Unnamed Daughter, married Albert II de la Ferté-en-Beauce, son of Albert I de la Ferté-en-Beauce and Godehildis de Bellême.
Hildegarde was succeeded by her son Hugues II as Viscount of Châteaudun when he reached the age of maturity.
