BIOGRAPHY
Adela of Normandy born between 1062 and 1067, daughter of William the Conqueror and Matilda van Vlaanderen, was the mother of Stephen, king of England, whose right to the throne derived through her. She married about 1081 in Chartres, Stephen, count of Meaux en Brie. Upon the death of his father in 1090, her husband Stephen succeeded to the counties of Blois and Chartres. She took an active interest in civil and ecclesiastical affairs and was instrumental in rebuilding the cathedral of Chartres in stone.

In 1095 Adela became regent when her husband took part in the First Crusade. Stephen de Blois went together with Adela's brother Robert, duke of Normandy. In 1099 Stephen returned to France, but he was forced by Adela to return to the East to redeem his reputation. He was killed in the battle of Ramleh on 19 May 1102.

Adela continued as regent during the minority of her sons and was increasingly active in public life. Anselm, her guest and teacher in 1097, was often entertained by her during 1103 and 1105. She achieved a temporary reconciliation between him and her brother, King Henry I of England. In 1107 Adela entertained Pope Pascal during Easter and the following year she was hostess to Boemund of Antioch.

She made her son Thibaut her successor in 1109 and entered a convent in the diocese of Autun. Here she continued to wield an important influence in public and clerical affairs. She persuaded Thibaut to join her brother Henry I against France in 1117, and she was a benevolent patroness of churches and monasteries. She died in 1137 and was buried at Caen.
