Which Erneburge Caux is the real one?

Question

Balso de Bayeaux's (Bayeaux-4) mother is listed as Erneburge Caux (Caux-6), whose father is Canville de Caux (Caux-7).  Her two children are surnamed Toeni and Bayeaux.   Balso's father Ranulph (Bayeaux-6) has a wife Erneburge Caux (Caux-1) whose father is Canville (Caux-3).  If you guessed her children are also surnamed Toeni and Bayeaux, you guessed correctly.    So which of these Erneburges is the real one?

Answer 1

Thanks Kevin, I suspect from a very brief look, that neither of them are real, nor their husbands or some of the children.

If you wanted to do some research to confirm either way, that would be greatly appreciated.

No I'm wrong, Eremberge/Eremberga (not Ernenberge) did exist and was married to Raoul d'Ivry who was the maternal half-brother of Richard I, Duke of Normandy.   He was named Count at some stage and probably of Bayeux, but this isn't definite.

She was from Cauville, which is in the Pays-de-Caux, but I would think Cauville would be a better LNAB rather than Caux.  Her parents aren't mentioned and I would think that the current father Canville de Caux is completely imaginary, perhaps trying to use a version of Cauville and Caux in the same name.

This is all from The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumieges, Orderic Vitalis and Robert of Torigni, Vol. 2, edited and translated by Elisabeth M.C. Van Houts, Oxford University Press, 1995.

However most of the children currently attached to her aren't hers, so they will need some research to see if they belong to someone else, or are also imaginary.

Charles Cawley, has a list of the four children which agrees with the Van Houts source, though a note in Van Houts, reverses the order of the wives of Raoul d'Ivry, Eremberga first and Albreda second, according to her.
