Henry of Burgundy (c. 1035 – 27 January 1070/1074), called the Gallant (le Damoiseau), was the eldest surviving son and heir of Robert I, Duke of Burgundy, second son of Robert II of France, and his wife, Helie of Semur,[1] daughter of Dalmas I of Selmur.
The name of Henry's wife is not known: both Sibylla and Clémence have been suggested.
However, historian Jean Richard has pointed out that this likely simply related the deceased to the duke at the time it was recorded, and that this referred to Sibylla of Burgundy, Duchess of Burgundy, mother of then-ruling Hugh II, Duke of Burgundy.
The observation of repeated use of the name Clémence among the descendants of Henry's son Odo I, Duke of Burgundy led Richard suggested that as the possible name of Odo's mother,[3] though Odo's wife had a sister, Clementia of Burgundy, who could just as well have been the inspiration for its use among their descendants.
Based on the use of the byname Borel by Odo, genealogist Szabolcs de Vajay proposed that his mother was a daughter of Berenguer Ramon I, Count of Barcelona and his third wife, Guisle of Lluca, and hence granddaughter of Ramon Borrell, Count of Barcelona,[4][5][6] although there is no documentary evidence that this was the case.
