Adele (French: Adèle; also Adela or Adélaïde/Aelis) (? — 1053) was a French noble lady and the countess suo jure of Bar-sur-Aube.

Life

Lady Adele was a daughter of the count Nocher III of Bar-sur-Aube[1] and his wife, whose name remains unknown. After the death of her father, Adele became a countess, since she was the eldest child of her parents. Her sister was named Isabella.

These are the husbands of lady Adele:

• Renaud of Semur
• Renard of Joigny
• Roger I of Vignory
• Ralph IV of Valois[1]

Adele and her cousin Ralph IV—the son of Ralph III—were the parents of four children:

• Walter of Bar-sur-Aube[1]
• Simon de Crépy[2]
• Élisabeth[1]
• Adele of Valois[1]

De jure uxoris, Ralph was the count of Bar-sur-Aube. Adele was a grandmother of Adelaide, Countess of Vermandois. Simon donated property to the abbey of Molesme for the soul of Adele.
