Commentary
Stewart Baldwin lists Aelendis, the niece of Regino, bishop of Angers, and of Adalard, bishop of Tours as a possible mother only because the Gesta Consulum Andegavorum which makes this claim also correctly identifies the parents of Foulques' wife Roscille, correctly identifies that the bishops Regino and Adalard were brothers. ["..., Turonensium nobiles atque pontifices Adalaudus & Raino, ambo germani fratres et ex Aurelianensi urbe nobiliter nati cives, neptim suam Aalendim ei in coniugium copularunt, ..."]. However, the Gesta Consulum Andegavorum also lists what most experts consider to be a mythical ancestry for Ingelgar leaving with much doubt as to the validity of the claims for his mother.

Note
In the seventh year of king Raoul (929/930), Fulco (Foulques), his wife Roscilla, and his sons Widdo (Gui) and Fulco, gave a donation to Saint-Aubin d'Angers for the benefit of his soul and the souls of his father (genitor) Ingelgerius, his son Ingelgerius, his father-in-law Warnerius and the latter's wife Tescenda ["Ego Fulco, Andecavorum comes, abbas quoque Sancti Albini Sanctique Lizinii, necnon et uxor mea Roscilla et filii mei, Widdo ac Fulco, nullius cogentis imperium, sed nostra plenissima voluntate, fatetur nos, pro Dei amore et pro remedium mee anime vel anime Ingelgario, genitor meo, atque Ingelgerio, filio meo, necnon pro anima Warnerio, socro meo et uxore sua, Tescenda].

Although the charter confirms that the father of Foulques was named Ingelger, contemporary records tell us nothing about his mother. Some later sources attempt to define his wife. A history of the counts of Anjou compiled in the twelfth century, Gesta Consulum Andegavorum records that Ingelger married ["Landonensis castri sive Gastinensis pagi consul nomine Gaufredus…filiam unicam…Adelam"]. The Historia Comitum Andegavorum records that Ingelgerius married ["Rursus Adelardus et Raymo ambo germani fratres, Turonensium et Andegavensium pontifices, neptem suam Aelindis"].
