Petronille accompanied her sister to the French court, where she met the very-married Count Raoul I of Vermandois, a cousin to the King of France. He repudiated his wife and married her, and they were excommunicated by the Pope. King Louis VII of France was enraged, and sent his brother to invade their lands. Pope Innocent II promised to lift the excommunication, but recanted his promise in 1143. Hostilities flared, and King Louis infamously burned Vitry trying to punish his sister-in-law and cousin. Finally the Pope died and his successor lifted the excommunication at Council of Reims in 1144. However, Petronille and Raoul divorced in 1151, as he remarried the next year.
