EBLE "Mancer", illegitimate son of RAINULF II Comte de Poitou, Duke of Aquitaine & his mistress --- ([870/75]-[Jan 934/935]). The Chronicle of Adémar de Chabannes names "Eblum" as son of "Ramnulfus…comes Pictaviensis", another manuscript specifying that he was born "ex concubina"[259]. The Chronicle of Saint-Maxence names "Ramnulfus comes…Pictavensis…filium Eblum"[260]. The Chronico Richardi Pictavensis names "Ramnulfus Comes Pictavis filium…Eblum"[261]. He succeeded his father in 890 as EBLE "Mancer" Comte de Poitou, his illegitimacy apparently presenting no obstacle to his succession, although this was opposed by Adémar, son of Comte Emenon. Comte Eble found refuge first with Géraud Seigneur d'Aurillac, later with Guillaume "le Pieux" Comte d'Auvergne, his uncles Josbert and Eble assuming the defence of his rights to Poitou until their deaths in late 892[262]. Poitou was captured by the forces of Eudes King of France, who gave the county to his brother Robert although the latter was expelled by Comte Aimar[263]. Comte Eble expelled Comte Aimar in 902 and was restored as Comte de Poitou. He was recognised as Comte du Limousin in 904[264]. Acfred Duke of Aquitaine appointed Eble as his heir, the latter succeeding as Duke of Aquitaine and Comte d'Auvergne in 927[265]. Raoul King of France transferred Aquitaine to Raymond Comte de Toulouse in 932[266]. His last known act was a donation to the monks of Saint-Cyprien dated Jan 934[267].
m firstly (betrothed before 10 Oct 890, [891/92]) AREMBURGIS, daughter of ---. Her future husband names her as his betrothed in an act dated 10 Oct 890[268].
m secondly (before Feb 911) EMILLANE, daughter of --- (-[932/36] or after). "Emmena femina" granted property "allodus situs in pago Pictavo in vicaria Salvinse in villa…Baidonnus" to "domnum Ebolum comitem et…uxorem eius Emillane" by charter dated Feb 911[269]. Ademar names "Adelam, filiam Rosi Rotomagensis" as wife of Eble and mother of "Willelmum Caputstupæ", but this appears chronologically impossible, the individual being confused no doubt with the latter's wife[270]. The Chronico Comitum Pictaviæ names "Hadelliam…Adestani regis Angliæ filiam" as wife of "Ebles Dux Aquitaniæ et Pictaviæ Comes"[271], but this also appears impossible. "Willelmi comitis, Alaine comitisse que fuit monacha" subscribed the donation by "Rotbertus clericus" of property to St Cyprien, Poitiers by charter dated [932/36][272], it being assumed that "Alaine" was the mother of Comte Guillaume I although no relationship is stated in the document.
Comte Ebalus & his [second] wife had two children
