Ermentrude was a daughter of Renaud of Roucy and his wife, Alberade of Lorraine, daughter of Gilbert, Duke of Lorraine.^[1]

By 971, Ermentrude married Aubry II of Mâcon and thus became a countess of Mâcon.^[2] They had:

• Létaud, archbishop of Besançon;
• Aubry, abbot of Saint-Paul de Besançon;
• Béatrice de Mâcon (d.1030), who was married in 975 to Count Geoffrey I of Gâtinais, and afterwards to the Count Hugues du Perche;
• Perhaps a daughter, N de Mâcon, the putative spouse of Eble de Poitiers, son of William IV of Aquitaine and Emma of Blois; they were possibly the parents of Ebles I of Roucy and all of his siblings, including Yvette de Roucy, the wife of either Manasses II or Manasses III of Rethel.^[3]

Ermentrude also married Otto-William, Count of Burgundy.^[4] They had:

• Guy I of Mâcon^[5]
