CONFLICT: The marriage of Ryksa (Richeza) to Raimond V is questionable. The marriage date for Ryksa and Raymond and for Ryksa and Albert, Graf von Eberstein have the same date of 1166. This cannot be true.
Because other sources have listed this relationship, we have left it in the data base. However, the marriage listed for Raimond and Ryksa is probably not correct.
