Disputed Lineages

Many sources, including several cited here, and the Wikipedia article below, make Adèle married (or at least betrothed) to Richard III, Duke of Normandy. Peter Stewart, in his article on Adèle at the Henry Project (cited below), convincingly argues that this is an error, and that the Adèle married to Richard III was another person, of unknown parents.

In addition, Richard III and the Adèle that he was married/betrothed to had no children. The mother of Richard's son Nicholas was one of his mistresses.
