The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the only daughter of "comes de Brena super Albam Engelbertus" & his [second] wife as wife of "Stephano…de Vallibus", specifying that her husband became "comes Ioviniaci" by right of his wife after the death of his mother-in-law and started building the first castle of Joinville with the help of his father-in-law. Dudon abbot of Montiérender granted benefits to “Stephano de Juncivilla”, noting that “Engelbertus comes Breonensis...sororem” married “supra memorato Stephano”, by undated charter. Delaborde dates this charter to before 15 May 1027, presumably because of the charter of that date quoted above. 2
