Probably son of Fulk de Limoges. Limoges, a town of west-central France, flourished as Augustoritum in the Roman era
and in the 4th century became Lemovices (whose capital it was). Featuring palaces, baths, its own senate and the right to
mint coins, it suffered in the wars of succeeding centuries. Its goldsmiths and mints were famed in the Merovingian era. The
chateau was built in the 9th century around the tomb of St. Martial (who introduced Christianity to this province). The
province of Limousin was divided in the 10th century - the northern part became La Marche and much of the balance became
the separate viscountcies of Limoges, Comborn, Turenne and Ventadour. From 866 these areas were subject to the dukes of
Aquitaine, who were crowned in the Limoges cathedral. Eleanor of Aquitaine brought Limousin to the Angevin empire of
the Plantagenets in her marriage with Henry. {-see Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1956 Edition, Vol. 14, pp.134-5.} Adalbert's
wife is Adaltrude.
