Melisende (d. before 1040), Viscountess of Châteaudun, daughter of Hugues, Viscount of Châteaudun, andHildegarde, Viscountess of Châteaudun.

Very little is known about Melisende. The only written record concerns the donation of the Church of Champrond inNogent-le-Rotrou (the former capital of Perche) in the first year of the reign of Henry I of France by her son Geoffrey.

Hugues (d. 989 or after), Viscount of Châteaudun, son of Geoffrey I, Viscount of Châteaudun, and Ermengarde. Virtually nothing is known about his life.

Hildegarde (d. 14 April 1005 or later), Viscountess of Châteaudun, daughter of Hervé I, Count of Perche, and his wife Mélisende. It is believed that she was a descendant of Adelaud de Loches, grandfather of Roscille de Loches, wife ofFulk I the Red, Count of Anjou. Hildegarde became viscountess upon the death of her husband Hugues.

Geoffrey I (Gauzfred I) (d. after 985), Viscount of Châteaudun, possibly the son of Geoffroy, Viscount of Chartres. Geoffrey was appointed viscount by Theobald the Trickster, in his position of Count of Châteaudun. Geoffrey was the founder of the House of Châteaudun, which gave rise to both the House of Ingelger and House of Plantagenets. It is believed, but unverified, that Geoffrey descended from Rogron I, Count of Maine, and therefore part of the Rogonoid dynasty. Little is known about Geoffrey, other than he was closely associated with Hardouin, Archbishop of Tours.
