I think we should ask why would british sources of the 14th century invent a marriage between Adelaide and a little known french count and make Judith daughter of that marriage. 13th century, and the purported marriage may have been an error taken from an earlier source rather than a new invention - for all we know, the monks at Crowland may have been misinformed, or for that matter making an educated (or ill-educated) guess. As Joe has commented, there is little value in speculating. Likelihood is not a reliable guide; unlikelihood is generally more reliable, since it guides us to discard conjecture rather than use it as a point of departure for further hypothesising. The beginning of wisdom is to recognise the extent of the unknown, and next after that is avoiding the temptation to fill in blanks with suppositions. Peter Stewart
