I think Stephanie is William's wife not his sister
Comte Renaud I & his [first] wife had four children:
1. GUILLAUME de Bourgogne (-12 Nov 1087, bur Besançon). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Adeliz” as the first daughter of “dux Richardus” and his wife “Goiffredum Britannorum comitem...sororem...Iudith”, adding that she married “Rainaldo Burgundionum comiti” by whom she had “Willelmum et Widonem”[24]. He succeeded his father in 1057 as GUILLAUME I "le Grand" Comte de Bourgogne.

2. GUY de Bourgogne (-after 1069). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Adeliz” as the first daughter of “dux Richardus” and his wife “Goiffredum Britannorum comitem...sororem...Iudith”, adding that she married “Rainaldo Burgundionum comiti” by whom she had “Willelmum et Widonem”[25]. His parentage is also given by Orderic Vitalis[26]. The Archbishop of Rouen and the Comte d'Arques proposed Guy as duke of Normandy, his claim being through his mother, in place of his cousin the infant Guillaume "le bâtard". Guy remained in Normandy, where he was brought up with his cousin and was given the castles of Brionne and Vernon. Still pursuing his claim, he tried to capture Duke Guillaume in 1046 with the help of Néel de Saint-Sauveur, Renouf vicomte de Bayeux and Haimon "le Dentu", but was forced to flee and was finally defeated at Le Val-lès-Dunes in 1047. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Guillaume II Duke of Normandy granted “castrum Brioci” to “Widonem...filium Rainaldi Burgundionem comitis” who rebelled against the duke with “Nigellum Constantiniensem præsidem” but was defeated at “Valedunas” in 1047[27]. Orderic Vitalis records that he was besieged in his castle for three years, pardoned by Duke Guillaume, sought refuge temporarily at the court of Geoffroy Comte d'Anjou, and returned to Burgundy where he continually plotted to dispossess his brother over a period of ten years[28].
3. HUGUES de Bourgogne (-after 1045). "Raginaldus comes comitis Guillelmi filius" donated property to the abbey of Flavigny by charter dated 18 May 1037 subscribed by "Iudid comitisse uxoris eius, Guillelmi filii eius, Hugonis filii eius…"[29].
4. FOULQUES de Bourgogne . “Willelmus Burgundiæ comes” donated property to Besançon cathedral, for the souls of “mea...necnon...Fulchonis fratris mei et Ottonis filii mei”, by undated charter[30]. Bouchard suggests that he was the same person as "Foulques de Joux"[31], who is named in the Miraculis S. Mariæ Laudunensis as "nobilissimus princeps in Burgundia…Falco de Jur, vel de Serrata" when recording his marriage, in its recital of the ancestry of Barthélemy Bishop of Laon[32]. However, according to Europäische Stammtafeln, the husband of Aelis de Ramerupt was Conon "Falcon" de La Sarraz [Grandson], whose death is estimated to "before 1114". If Conon died soon before that date, it is unlikely that Bouchard’s suggestion could be correct.
