She gave birth to four children and was grandmother to Henry II of England. Her husband would later remarry and become King of Jerusalem. Ermengarde (or Erembourg was the Countess of Maine and lady of Château-du-Loir from 1110 to 1126. She was the daughter of Elias I, Count of Maine, and Mathilda of Château-du-Loire, daughter of Gervais II. In 1109 she married the Angevin heir, Fulk V, called "Fulk the Younger". The marriage brought Maine under Angevin control, since she inherited the county from her father the following year and Fulk claimed it jure uxoris. Their son inherited both Maine and Anjou, uniting the two counties.
