The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Adala" wife of "comitis Veromandie (error for Valois) Rodolfi" and mother of "Symonem et filiam…Adala", but does not give her origin [Chronica Albrici Monachi Trium Fontium 1062, MGH SS XXIII, p. 793]. The Acta Sanctorum commentary on the life of St Simon de Valois, based on an undated manuscript of the abbey of Saint-Claude, records that "Rodulpho (Simonis genitori)" married three wives, firstly "Adela, Nocheri Barrensis ad Albam comitis filia, Notheri comitis Suessionum neptis, Archardi proneptis" who had previously married "Rainaldum de Sinemuro, Rainardum comitem de Jooniaco, Rotgerium de Wangionis ripa" [Acta Sanctorum, September VIII, p. 720].
