The "Dictionary of Royal Lineage" states that he was the illigitimate
child of RAINULFE II. He became Count of Poitiers in 902. He became
Count of Limousin, Count of Auvergne, and Duke of Aquitaine in 928.
This source also states that Ebles married Adele (RIN 1425), dua. of
King EDWARD I of England and that WILLIAM III was their son. Weis'
"Ancestral Roots. . ." (144A:18), however, does not mention a marriage to
Adele and has as WILLIAM's mother Ebles' 2nd wife, EMLIANE. I regard
Weis as the more reliable source.
Ebles "Manzer", Count of Poitou and Duke of Aquitaine, was the son of
Rainulf II and an unnamed concubine [ES ii,76]. (Moriarty suggests the
concubine was possibly an "Ermengarde".)
