Biography
Richardson says that Eremburge, first wife of Foulques V le Jeune, Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem was "daughter and heiress of Helie, Count of Maine".[1]
Quoted from his profile on the Henry II project:[2]
Count of Maine, 1192-1110.
Lord of Château-du-Loir (jure uxoris), ca. 1095×1097-1110.
Hélie (Helias) purchased the county of Maine from his cousin count Hughes V in 1092 [OV viii, 11 (vol. 4, pp. 192-9)]. His assumption of the title of count can be dated between 29 June 1092, when Hugues V was still count [Latouche (1910), 148 (#42)], and 27 July of the same year, when he subscribed a charter of Foulques IV le Réchin, count of Anjou [ibid., 149 (#43)]. Hélie obtained the lordship of Château-du-Loir on the death of his father-in-law Gervaise II, lord of Château-du-Loir. On his death in 1110, both possessions passed to his daughter Éremburge and her husband Fulk of Anjou, becoming a part of the growing Angevin holdings. For a lengthy account of Hélie, see Montzey (1877), 47-96.

In addition to the statements of Orderic Vitalis, Helias is called a son of Jean in a charter of Foulques IV of Anjou between 1084 and 26 June 1086 ["Helias filius Johannis de Fissa" Cart. Angers, 207], and in a donation of Jean de La Flèche to Saint-Aubin [Montzey (1877), 41-2
See the bibliography of that profile for further information.
