Melisende, Viscountess of Châteaudun

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

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

Melisende married Fulcois, Count of Montagne, son of Rotrou, Seigneur de Nogent. Melisende and Fulcois had two children:

Geoffrey II, Viscount of Châteaudun and Count of Perche
Hugues du Perche.

She was succeeded by her son Geoffrey as Viscount of Châteaudun in 1030.
