 General Notes:
The Count of Troyes (as Herbert I) and Meaux (as Herbert III) from 966 and Omois (as Herbert IV) from 984. He belonged to the House of Vermandois and was a son of Robert and Adelaide Werra.
He inherited his father's domains in 966 and those of his uncle, Herbert III of Omois, in 984. He was a partisan and supporter of King Lothair and followed on his conquest of Upper Lorraine, after which he was guarded the captive Godfrey I of Verdun. After the death of Lothair's heir, Louis V, in 987, Herbert sided with Odo I of Blois and backed Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine, probably his brother-in-law.
