This conjecture is based on the fact that Thibaud le Tricheur, count of Blois, had a mother named Richilde and a brother named Richard. Baldwin notes that Depoin assumed that Richilde was of the samefamily as Charles the Bald's second wife, the empress Richilde, who had a brother named Richard (Depoin (1908), 587-592). "Depoin conjectured that the younger Richilde was a granddaughter of the empress Richilde, and that the intervening generation was the present Rothilde. At that time, Depoin was unaware that the Hugues of the 900 document was a count of Maine, son of Roger, and he conjectured that Hugues was son of another Hugues, count of Bourges." Stewart Baldwin.
