He was Count of Blois and of Chartres as Theobald IV from 1102 and was Count of Champagne and of Brie as Theobald II from 1125. He was the son of Stephen II, Count of Blois, and Adela of Normandy, and the elder brother of King Stephen of England. Theobald accompanied his mother throughout their realm on hundreds of occasions and, after her retirement to the convent at Marcigney in 1125, he administered the family properties with great skill.
