Family and children
Herbert married Adele of Valois, daughter of Ralph IV of Valois[2] and Adele of Bar-sur-Aube. They had the following children:
- Adelaide, Countess of Vermandois (c. 1062 – 23 September 1120), who married first Hugh Magnus, son of Henry I of France and younger brother of Philip I of France, and secondly Renaud II of Clermont-Beauvaisis[3]
- Odo I, Count of Vermandois (c. 1064 – after 1085)

After Herbert's death in 1080, his son-in-law Hugh Magnus inherited the countships of Vermandois and Valois, strengthening Capetian influence in the region.[4]
