Biography
Agnes Blois was a member of the aristocracy in Europe.
Agnes de Blois was the daughter of Eudes I de Blois, Comte de Blois, de Tours, de Chartres, de Troyes etc, and his wife Berthe de Bourgogne.[1] Her birth date is unknown, bur her parents married about 983-986, and her father died 12 March 996.[2]
She is mentioned in two charters of Saint-Pere de Chartres, of unknown date,[1] and in another charter dated September 1001 in the Cartulary of Bourgueil, where her mother (la reine Berthe) and three of her children; Thibaud, Eudes and Agnes, confirm a donation to the abbey of Bourgueil by Emma, Countess of Poitiers.[3]
Agnes de Blois, married Guy, vicomte de Thouars, bringing a large part of the territory of Saumur as her dowry.[1]
Research Notes
Who did she marry
Guy, Vicomte de Thouars, doesn't appear in the lists of the Vicomte de Thouars of this period, [4],[5] but both of these sources list Agnes, as the wife of Geoffroy II, Vicomte de Thouars 1015-1055.
However Charles Cawley in the Medieval Lands database, cites source that state that Geoffroy II's wife was named Aenor (Eleanore) not Agnes.[6] More research needs to take place to confirm who she married.

Geoffrey II m. Agnes de Blois. They lived in the first half of the 11th century.
Geoffrey IV m. Aenor (?Eleanor) de Lusignan. They lived in second half 12th century, i.e. more than a century later.
BUT all it would take is flimsy sourcing and ordinal confusion at any point over the last 900 years to call either (or both!) of those Geoffries wrongly Geoffrey III... and we'd inherit a conflation.
