Ermengarde of Provençe, (c. 984-1042) was Countess of Auvergne in her own right (suo jure), and Countess of Blois via her marriage to Odo II, Count Blois which occurred before 1005. Ermengarde was his second wife. She was the daughter of William IV, Count of Auvergne-Provençe, and potentially with Humberga or Adelaide-Blanche of Anjou (disagreement still exists between scholars). Her children included William; Berta of Chartres, Duchess of Brittany then Countess of Maine; Theobald III, Count of Blois; and Stephen, Count of Troyes & Meaux.
