Emperor Charles II “le Chauve” granted "villas...Cavaliacus...in comitatu Lemovicensi" to "fidelis noster...Hildebertus" by charter dated 17 Jul 876. “Sicbardus et conjuves mea Alaitrudis” sold a vine “infra ur[be Lemov]icino in pago Burgolio in villa...Tedlido” to “Eldeberto [et conjuge] sua Adaltrudis” by charter dated Sep 883.

The absence of the viscomital title attributed to Hildebert in this document suggests that Deda’s husband may not have been the same person as Vicomte Hildebert. However, the names of the third, fourth and fifth witnesses, possibly the donor’s step-children, indicate a connection to the vicecomital family. In addition, no other individual of named Hildebert has been noted in the documentation of Limoges Saint-Etienne at that time. 1
