Nocher II, Count of Soissons
Nocher II (d. 1019), Count of Bar-sur-Aube, Count of Soissons.[1] He was the son of Nocher I, Count of Bar-sur-Aube.[1] Nocher’s brother Beraud (d. 1052) was Bishop of Soissons.[1]
Nocher became Count of Soissons, jure uxoris, upon his marriage to Adelise, Countess of Soissons. Nocher and Adelisa had three children:
- Nocher III (d. 1040), Count of Bar-sur-Aube[1]
- Guy, archbishop of Reims[1]
- Renaud I, Count of Soissons[1]
Nocher’s son and namesake became Count of Bar-sur-Aube upon his death, and the countship of Soissons reverted to his wife. His son Renaud would eventually become the Count of Soissons.[1]
