Adelaide is typically only briefly mentioned in connection to her husband, Hugh, and her son Robert II.
The couple were proclaimed king and queen at Senlis and blessed at Noyon on 1 June 987.
[3] Apparently, Hugh trusted in Adelaide's judgement and allowed her to take part in government.
[4] Adelaide's son Robert's tutor Gerbert of Aurillac came into conflict in the late 990's with Arnulf, the archbishop of Reims.
[5] Gerbert took refuge with Otto III, the new Holy Roman emperor, and Adelaide attempted to recall the former to Reims, but Gerbert reluctantly resisted this command in a letter dated to the spring of 997, citing concerns for his personal safety and the stability of the French kingdom had he returned to challenge Arnulf for the archbishopric.
