William de Braose was hanged by Llywel y nap Iorwerth in 1230. The stat e d r e a s on for the hanging was the accus ation that William had dallied w i t h L l y welyna's wife Joan, bastard of King John. This does not withstan d c l o s e s crutiny, and William was in all probability hung for the crime s o f h i s g r andfather, William deBraose lord of Bramber and Abergavenny, a g a i n s t the Welsh.

William de Warenne died from wounds received at the Siege of Pevensey o n 2 4 J u n e 1 088, at Lewes, Sussex, England, and was buried beside his fi rs t w i f e , Gundreda, at the Chapter-house, Priory of St Pancras (Lewes P r io r y ) , Lewes, East Sussex . Their burial locations were lost until in 1 8 4 5 - 4 7 the railway to Brighton was built across the site of the priory a n d a m o n g the finds were lead caskets thought to contain the bones of Wi l l i a m d e Warenne and his wife Gundrada, the founders of t h e priory. T h e l e a d c askets are decorated with rope-mouldings and diagonal ornament a t i o n i nscribed WILLEMS and GUNDRADA respectively. Presently the church o f J o h n t h e Baptist, Southover High Street in Lewes, East Sussex, has th e l e a d c a skets of William de Warenne and wife Gundrada in a special cha pe l a l o n g with the black marble tombstone of Gundrada. The bones found i n 1 8 4 5 w e re reburied under the stone.

Circa 1054 Duke William gave him the castle of Mortemer, which had been f o r f e i ted by his kinsman, Roger de Mortimer, after the Battle of Morteme r i n F e b r uary of that year. Probably at the same time he acquired lands a t B e l l e ncombre, the castle of which became the caput of the Warenne bar on y i n N o r mandy.
In 1066, William was one of the Norman barons summoned by William, Duke o f N o r m a ndy, to a Council on hearing that Harold had been crowned King a ft e r t h e d eath of the Confessor.

William De Warenne personal prowess no special anecdote has been preser v e d , a n d it is as the husband of the mysterious Gundred, or Gundrada , t h a t h i s n ame has descended to the present day with any special interest a t t a c h ed to it. Whether the hand of this lady was bestowed upon him prev i o u s l y to his services at Senlac, or as a part of his reward for them, d o e s n o t a ppear, and our ignorance of the date of their marriage has bee n t h e p r i ncipal obstacle in the way of those who have so hotly disputed h e r r e l a tionship to William the Conqueror, for could we even arrive at a n a p p r oximate date it might enable us to calculate her probable age at t h a t p e r iod, and whether she was born before or after 1053, on which fac t d e p e n ds the whole question. That they were married before 1078 is cer ta i n , a s i n that year they founded the Priory of Lewes in Sussex, and w e h a v e t h e charters of King William, which he granted to that establish me n t f o r t he health of the souls of his lord and ancestor, King Edward, o f h i s f a t her Count Robert, of his own soul and that of his wife, Queen M a t i l d a,and of all their children and successors, and for the souls of W i l l i a m de Warren and his wife Gundrada, his (William's) daughter and th e i r h e i rs. The words "my daughter" would be decisive of her being the a c k n o w ledged child of the King; but independently of their being scarcel y l e g i b le, it is contended that they are in a different and later hand; a n d t h e r e is this to be observed, which I do not remember having seen no t i c e d , that the King has just previously used the expression "our child r e n a n d s uccessors" (filiorum atquesuccesso rum nostror um"), so that h i s p a r t icula rising Gundrada as "mydaughter " would imply that she was n o t b y h i s w ife Matilda. Exactly in opposition to this is the declaratio n o f W i l l iam de Warren himself, in whose charter to the priory, granted a f t e r t h e death of Gundred in childbirth (6 kalends of June, 1085), he s t a t e s h is donations to be for the salvation of the souls, amongst other s , o f h i s l ady Queen Matilda, mother of his wife excluding in turn King W i l l i a m from any share in her parentage.

William's father, William III, abdicated to the abbey of Saint-Cyprien i n P o i t i ers and left the government to Fierebras. His mother was Gerloc, t h e d a u g hter of Duke Rollo of Normandy.

In 968, he married Emma, daughter of Theobald I of Blois and Luitgarde o f V e r m a ndois.[2] Their marriage was stormy, in part because of William' s i n d u l gence in the pursuit of women and, as a hunting aficionado, wild a n i m a l s.

William Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Old Norman: Williame d e l o n E s p ee, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Old Norse: Vilhjálmr Langasp jó t ; c . 8 9 3 - 17 December 942) was the second ruler of Normandy, from 9 2 7 u n t i l his assassination in 942.

He is sometimes referred to as a "duke of Normandy", though the title d u k e ( d u x) did not come into common usage until the 11th century.[2] Lon g s w o r d was known at the time as count (Latin comes) of Rouen. Flodoard- a l w a y s detailed about titles-consistently referred to both Rollo and hi s s o n W i l liam as principes (chieftains) of the Normans. There are no co nt e m p o rary accounts of William's byname, 'Longsword', either; it appear s f i r s t i n later eleventh-century sources.

Birth
William Longsword was born "overseas" to the Viking Rollo (while he was s t i l l a p a gan) and his wife more danico (a kind of non-Christian marriag e ) , P o p pa of Bayeux. Poppa's parentage is uncertain. Dudo of Saint-Quen t i n i n h i s panegyric of the Norman dukes describes her as the daughter o f a C o u n t B erengar, the dominant prince of that region. In the 11th-cen tury A n n a l es Rotomagenses (Annals of Rouen), she is called the daughter o f G u y , C o unt of Senlis, otherwise unknown to history. According to the L o n g s w ord's planctus, William was baptized a Christian probably at the s a m e t i m e as his father, which Orderic Vitalis stated was in 912, by Fra n c o , A r chbishop of Rouen. William is not an Old Norse forename, and he m u s t h a v e been renamed as part of this process.

William of Mar, also known by the name Uilleam mac Dhonnchaidh (Anglici z e d a s " W illiam, Duncan's son"), was the mormaer of Mar in medieval Sco t l a n d f rom 1244 to 1276. His father was Donnchadh of Mar.

Uilleam was responsible for the construction of Kildrummy Castle, the g r e a t e st castle to have been built in 13th-century northern Scotland. It i s o n e o f t h e few examples where a native Scottish magnate built a large -s c a le f o rtification, something normally practiced by the incoming Norm a n s .

Uilleam, more than any of his predecessors, participated in Scottish an d e v e n B r itish-wide politics, becoming a leading figure in the royal re gi m e o f A l exander II, and the minority of Alexander III. By 1244, Uille a m h a d m a rried into the Comyn house, the fastest rising French family i n t h e S c o ttish kingdom. He married Elisabeth Comyn, the daughter of Wil li a m C o m yn, jure uxoris Earl of Buchan and Marjory, Countess of Buchan. T h e C o m y n-Mar alliance helped fight off the ambitions of the Durwards, w h o w e r e t hen in prime favor with the king.

Alan Durward used his descent from a daughter of Gille Críst to contest U i l l e a m's right to the Mormaerdom, but Uilleam successfully held off the s e c l a i ms. Uilleam and the Comyn Earl of Menteith then launched accusat i o n s o f t reason towards Alan while at the court of Henry III of England a t Y o r k .

William Skeffington is first mentioned in two cases concerning landed r i g h t s i n Skeffington and Keythorp in 1488 and 1496. A supporter of the G r e y s , h e was an executor of the will of the 1st Marquess of Dorset, who d i e d i n 1 5 01. He may have served with Dorset in France, as he was to do w i t h t h e 2 nd Marquess, when he was given command of the ordnance. It was t h u s a s a n e xperienced artilleryman that he replaced Sir Sampson Norton a s m a s t e r of the ordnance in 1515. With the return of peace the work may h a v e b e e n at first less demanding, and by 1522 Skeffington had served tw i c e a s s h eriff and had discharged various other local duties; but when i n 1 5 2 6 h e t estified in the dispute between Dorset and Sir Richard Sache ve r e l l h e admitted that he had not been in his county for four years. A s w e l l a s p erforming ceremonial duties he had served on various commiss io n s r e l ating to Calais and had spent most of his time either there or a t t h e T o w er, the two principal ordnance depots. In 1523 he had also bee n c h a r g ed with supplying victuals to the army in the field, and his fre qu e n t v o yages between Calais and London also made him a useful liaison o f f i c e r.

William the Great (French: Guillaume le Grand; 969 - 31 January 1030) w a s d u k e o f Aquitaine (as William V) and count of Poitou (as William II o r I I I ) f r om 990 until his death. Upon the death of the emperor Henry II , h e w a s o f fered the kingdom of Italy but declined to contest the title a g a i n s t Conrad II.

Life
He was the son and successor of William IV by his wife Emma of Blois, d a u g h t er of Theobald I of Blois.[1] He seems to have taken after his for m i d a b le mother, who ruled Aquitaine as regent until 1004. He was a frie n d t o B i s hop Fulbert of Chartres, who found in him another Maecenas, an d f o u n d ed a cathedral school at Poitiers. He himself was very well educ at e d , a c o llector of books, and turned the prosperous court of Aquitain e i n t o t h e learning centre of Southern France.

Though a cultivated prince, he was a failure in the field. He called up o n h i s s u zerain Robert II of France to aid in subduing his vassal, Boso o f L a M a r c he. Initially unsuccessful, Boso was eventually chased from th e d u c h y . He had to contain Vikings who continually threatened his coast . I n 1 0 0 6 , he was defeated by Viking invaders. He lost the Loudunais an d M i r e b alais to Fulk Nerra, count of Anjou. He had to give up Confolens , R u f f e c, and Chabanais to compensate William II of Angoulême, but Fulb er t n e g o tiated a treaty (1020) outlining the reciprocal obligations of v a s s a l a nd suzerain.

However, his court was a centre of artistic endeavour and he its surest p a t r o n . His piety and culture brought peace to his vast territories, and h e t r i e d t o stem the tide of feudal warfare then destroying the unity of m a n y E u r opean nations by supporting the current Peace and Truce of God m o v e m e nts initiated by Pope and Church. He founded Maillezais Abbey (101 0 ) a n d B o urgueil Abbey. After a fire in Poitier, he rebuilt the cathedr a l a n d m a ny other religious structures. He travelled widely in Europe, a n n u a l ly visiting Rome or Spain as a pilgrim. Everywhere he was greeted w i t h r o y al pomp. His court was of an international flavour, receiving am b a s s a dors from the Emperor Henry II, Alfonso V of León, Canute the Grea t , a n d e v en his suzerain, Robert of France.

William was a favourite of King John. He witnessed King John's concessi o n o f t h e k ingdom to the Pope on 15 May 1213. On 14 June 1216 he joined P r i n c e L ouis (later Louis VIII of France) after King John abandoned Winc h e s t e r. He returned to the allegiance of the King Henry III after the R o y a l i st victory at Lincoln, on 14 July 1217.

He joined in the Fifth Crusade (1217-1221), in 1218. He died on his jou r n e y h o me, in Caneill, Italy, near Rome, on 1 February 1221. d'Aubigny

William was heir to one of the greatest Anglo-Norman baronies. From his m o t h e r , Mabel (d. 1157), daughter of Robert fitz Haimon, came Norman lan d s , t h e W elsh marcher county of Glamorgan, and the English honour of Gl o u c e s ter. His total annual income at times may have been more than 700, a n d h e c o m manded the service of more than 300 knights' fees from England a n d W a l e s alone. Significant additions came from the patronage which Wil l i a m ' s grandfather Henry I bestowed on his father, Robert, earl of Glou c e s t e r, and from Robert's own acquisitions. William was the eldest of a t l e a s t f ive sons and one daughter born to Earl Robert and Countess Mab el . H e a l s o had a number of illegitimate siblings, products of his fath e r' s e x t ramarital liaisons.

William was ostensibly Lord of Kidwelly, but during this period a numbe r o f c a s t les in south Wales (probably including Kidwelly) were captured b y L o r d R h ys, and Rhys was certainly in occupation in 1190, when he buil t t h e n e w s tone castle there. Rhys died in 1197, and the castle was bac k i n W i l l iam's hands by 1201. William died c. 121 1 (others say c 1200) a n d w a s b u ried at Ewenny Priory.

William was raised in Scotland. He started a revolt against his brother , D i r k V I I and became count in Friesland after a reconciliation. Friesl an d w a s c o nsidered as a part of Holland by the Counts of Holland. His n i ec e , A d a, eventually inheritited Holland in 1203, but William couldn't a c c e p t t his. After a civil war, which lasted for several years, William w o n t h e w a r. Louis and Ada were supported by the bishop of Utrecht, and t h e c o u n t of Flanders. William was supported by the duke of Brabant and b y t h e m a j ority of the Hollanders.
Emperor Otto IV acknowledged him as count of Holland in 1203, because h e w a s a s u p porter of the Welfs. He and many others changed allegiance t o e m pe r o r Frederick II after the battle of Bouvines in 1214. He took pa rt i n a F r e n ch expedition against king John of England. The pope excomm uni cate d h i m f or this.

Possibly because of this, William then became a fervent crusader. He ca m p a i g ned in Prussia and joined in the conquest of Lisbon. In Europe , h e c a m e t o b e called William the Crazy for his chivalric and reckless be ha v i o u r in battle. William conquered the city of Damietta during the Fi f t h C r u sade.

William was succeeded by his son, '''RORERT DE ST. JOHN''', who had a m i l i t a ry summons to oppose the incursions of the Welsh, and in three yea r s a f t e rwards, obtained a license to fix a pale upon the bauk of his mo a t , a t B A SING; as also to continue it so fortified, during the king's p l e a s u re.

In the 50th of the same reign (1266), he was constituted governor of PO R C H E S TER Castle, and dying soon after, was succeeded by his son, (b y h i s w i f e A gnes, daughter of William de Cantilupe), JOHN DE ST.

William's Father died before his wife and two sons immigrated to the U. S . H a n n ah and her two sons William and John appears on the manifest of t h e s h i p A bigail. The ship left Plymouth, England destined for Boston in N e w E n g l and on June 4, 1635, among the passengers were William Potter ag e 2 7 , w i f e Frances age 26 & 4 month old son Joseph Potter.

Both the brothers John and William Potter, signed the Plantation Covena n t i n N e w H aven, Connecticut on June 4, 1639, just nineteen years after t h e P i l g rims settled at Plymouth, Massachusetts. William purchased land a t N e w H a v en & was occupied there as a "planter" until his death. Willia m' s m o t h er Hannah & his younger brother John Potter also settled at New H a v e n .

William's father Gilbert appears to have been a member of the "French" c o m m u n ity holding offices for the Norman dynasty in the far northwest of E n g l a n d, bordering Scotland. Gilbert seems to have been associated with t h e a r e a o f Furness, which came to be part of Lancashire and was probabl y a l r e a dy administered together with northern Lancashire

==Research Notes==
:'''Who was Malcolm's mother?'''*Although recent historians such as Ali s o n W e i r and Dauvit Brown believe Kenneth II's wife was the daughter of a k i n g o f L e inster,Weir, Alison. ''Britain's Royal Families.'' London : T h e B o d ley Head (1989). p. 175 the sol e b a s i s f or this assumption is one line in the ''The Prophecy of Berch� n' ' w h i c h says [Malcolm] "was the son of a woman from Leinster." No further detail is provided in the ''Prophecy''. An o p p o s i ng suggestion was offered much earlier by an eminent seventeenth c e n t u r y historian, Frederic van Bossen, who published a detailed ''Histo r y o f t h e R oyal Line of Scotland,'' followed in 1688 by ''The Royal Ce d a r. ' ' V an Bossen relied heavily on an 'ancient manuscript by John Tull o c h , b i shop of Orkney', for both these works and the Tulloch manuscript u n f o r t unately appears to have been lost hundreds of years ago. Based on e x t e n s ive research, Van Bossen claimed that the wife of Kenneth II and t h e m o t h er of Malcolm II was Boada Olyphant, a daughter of Constantine I I a n d a g r a nddaughter of the prince of Norway.Cunningham, Derek. ' 'T h e L o s t Queens of Scotland: Extracts from Frederic van Bossen's "The R o y a l C e dar."'' Kindle edition (2021), p. 97. It may not be possib l e t o p r o ve either of these two claims.

:'''Who was Malcolm's wife?'''*Once again there appear to be conflictin g t h e o r ies: Alison Weir suggests that Malcolm married "an Irish woman f ro m O s s o ry," but gives no reliable source for this; a n d F r e deric van Bossen (citing Tulloch) claims that Malcolm's wife a nd t h e m o t her of his children was Gunnora, a daughter of the second duk e o f N o r m andy.Cunningham, Derek.

=== Note ===: Married #2 Hugh of Arles, Count of Provence in 912. Wikip e d i a : E verything else in her genealogy is more or less uncertain. '

These two kinships enjoy some indicative support from near-contemporary s o u r c e s. The first-mentioned kinship would make her a sibling, at least h a l f - s ister, of King Louis III of Italy. The second would mean she was a n a n c e s tress of the last independent Burgundian royal house, and throug h i t a n c e stress of last Ottonian emperors, of the last Carolingian king o f F r a n c e, of a number of dukes of Swabia, of the later Guelph dynasty, a n d o f t h e S alian Imperial House, as well as of practically all European r o y a l f a milies since High Middle Ages.
: Furthermore, genealogies that are regarded mostly as wishful thinking b y c r i t i cal research, have for centuries claimed that:: ? Guilla's mothe r w a s E r m engarde of Italy, one of the heiresses of last Carolingians, w ho w a s d a u ghter of Emperor Louis II, King of Italy, and became the last o f t h e w i v es of king Boso of Lower Burgundy. This however is fairly unli ke l y , a s E rmengarde's marriage with king Boso took place in 978, a date w h e n G u i lla was likely already born.: ? Guilla was the only wife of king R u d o l f I o f Upper Burgundy. This is not certain, as she possibly was yet i n a g e o f b e ing capable of child-bearing at her marriage in 912 with the c o u n t H u gh, the future Italian king; and her first husband, the king Rud o l f I , i s m entioned of having several children already in 888 (who thus c o u l d h a ve been born of an earlier, to us unknown, wife of Rudolf).: Que e n G u i l la's date of death, after 912 but before 924, is between those y e a r s b e cause of a charter (expressing her be dead) dated in the latter y e a r . A f ter her death, in 926, her widower, count Hugh, took over the ki n g d o m o f Italy from Rudolf II of Burgundy (who was either stepson or ow n s o n o f G u illa).

===Birth and Parentage===Baldwin reports that Robert's date and place o f b i r t h a re unknown. Wikipedia reports a birth date a n d p l a c e of 22 June 1000 in Normandy but without a p e r s u a sive source.
Robert was the son of Richard II, duke of Normandy, who died 23 August 1 0 2 6 , a n d Judith de Rennes, who died 28 June 1017, daughter of Conan I o f B r i t t any. Cawley reports that Guillaume of Jumi� ge s n a m e s "Richardum...atque Robertum et Willelmum" as the three sons o f " d u x R i chardus" and his wife "Goiffredum Britannorum comitem... soror em . . . I u dith".

===1016 Engagement to Estrid Svensdatter===
After Cnut's elevation to the throne of England (1016) , Cnut made an a g r e e m ent with Richard II of Normandy that Cnut's sister [[Danemark-19|E s t r i d ] ] Estrid was to marry Richard's son Robert. It is not known whet h e r t h i s marriage ever took place. Ralph Glaber in his Historiarum libr i q u i n q ue M. K. Lawson, Cnut: England's Viking Kin g ( 2 0 0 4 ), p. 105. and CdB Guided Tours Roman and Norman Notes. Cited b y W i k i p edia. Estrid Svendsdater. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estri d_ S v e n dsdatter] Accessed May 13, 2017. reported that an unnamed s i s t e r o f Cnut married Robert, but Adam of Bremen reports a marriage of E s t r i d ( calling her Margaret) to Richard II, indicating that after he we n t t o J e r usalem she married Ulf, yet although Richard never went to Jer u s al e m R obert did.

Baldwin reports as a "Possible spouse or intended spouse (of Robert or h i s f a t h er Richard II), Estrid/Margaret, daughter of Svend I, king of De n m a r k . Rodulfus Glaber, 108, states that Robert was married to a siste r ( n o t n a med) of king Canute, and that he was father of William by a co nc u b i n e. Adam of Bremen [Book 2, chapter liv(52), p. 92], who obtained s o m e o f h i s information from king Svend II (son of Estrid by her marriag e t o j a r l U lf), stated that before her marriage to Ulf, Svend's mother M a rg a r e t (called Estrid in other sources) was married to Richard (II) of N o r m a n dy, father of Robert, but then goes on to show confusion by saying t h a t M a r garet married Ulf after Richard set out for Jurusalem, where he d i e d . ( R ichard did not set out for Jeruslaem, but Robert did.) Unfortuna t e l y , t here are significant problems with the statement that Estrid mar r i e d e i ther Richard or Robert, discussed in detail by Douglas [Douglas ( 1 9 5 0 ) , 292-5]. Nevertheless, despite the problems, it is difficult to b e l i e v e that there is nothing to these two similar, and apparently indep e n d e n t, accounts of two near contemporary writers. Baldwin reports that " g i v e n t he difficulty of reconciling a marriage with the evidence, a pos s i b l e b etrothal of Estrid to either Robert or Richard II would seem lik e a r e a s o nable alternative."
Norman sources do not mention such a marriage for either duke, and hist o r i a n s disagree whether it was a short-lived marriage, a betrothal, or a r e s u l t o f confusion. Wikipedia.

===1021 Possible First Mistress===
In 1021, Robert would have been 21 years old, and it is reasonable to i m a g i n e that he had a mistress during this period, lending credence to t h o s e w h o believe that Adelaide was born two or three years before Willi a m .
Cawley reports the name of Duke Robert's first mistresss is not known, b u t t h a t R obert de Torigny names "Aeliz" as daughter of Duke Robert II " d e a l i a c oncubina", different from Herleve.
Some authorities suggest that both William and his sister Adelaide had t h e s a m e m other, but most suggest different mothers. There is also a di s c r e p ancy as to whether Adelaide was born before or after William. Som e s o u r c es refer to Adelaide as William's "uterine sister." The questio n o f w h o h e r mother was seems to remain unsettled. Elisabeth Van Houts [ ' Le s f e m mes dans l'histoire du duch� de Normandie', Tabularia � �tudes �, n � 2 , 2 0 02, (10 July 2002), p. 23, n. 22] makes the argument that Rob e r t o f T o rigny in the GND II, p. 272 (one of three mentions in this vol u m e o f h e r being William's sister) calls her in this instance William's ' u t e r i ne' sister' (soror uterina) and is of the opinion this is a mistak e s i m i l ar to one he made regarding Richard II, Duke of Normandy and his p a t e r n al half-brother William, Count of Eu (calling them 'uterine' broth e r s ) . B ased on this she concludes Adelaide was a daughter of Duke Rober t b y a d i f f erent concubine. Kathleen Thompson ["Being the Ducal Sister: T h e R o l e o f Adelaide of Aumale", Normandy and Its Neighbors, Brepols, (2 0 1 1 ) p . 6 3] cites the same passage in GND as did Elisabeth Van Houts, s p e c i f ically GND II, 270-2, but gives a different opinion. She noted tha t R o b e r t de Torigni stated here she was the uterine sister of Duke Will ia m " s o w e m ight perhaps conclude that she shared both mother and fathe r w i t h t h e Conqueror." But as Torigni wrote a century after Adelaide's b i r t h a n d in that same sentence in the GND made a genealogical error, sh e c o n c l udes that the identity of Adelaide's mother remains an open ques ti o n . < r ef name="wikirob"/>

===1026 Reign and Death of Robert's brother, Richard III===
Before he died, Richard II had decided his elder son Richard III would s u c c e e d him while his second son Robert would become Count of Hi�mois. < r e f n a m e="note1"> The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumieges, O r d e r i c Vitalis, and Robert of Torigni, Vol. II, Books V-VIII, ed.

===1026 Herleve of Falaise===
Given William's birth in 1027, Robert had a relationship with Herleve o f F a l a i se, probably at Falaise, in 1026. [[Falaise-2|Herleve]] (or Arl et t e ) w a s the daughter of Fulbert de Falaise and his wife Doda (Duwa). " G u i l l aume of Jumi�ges names "Herleva Fulberti cubicularii ducis filia" a s t h e m o t her of "Willelmus...ex concubina Roberti ducis...natus".
The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines that Herleve's family were f r o m C h a umont in the diocese of Li�ge but moved to Falaise, adding that o t h e r s s aid they were from Huy.
Immediately after the death of Duke Richard II on 23 August 1026, his s o n R o b e rt occupied Falaise, not wishing to accept the authority of his o l d e r b r other Duke Richard III. Robert's stay was, however, short, as t h e t w o b r others were reconciled soon after.
According to Cawley, Deville suggests it is reasonable to suppose that R o b e r t 's relationship with Herleve, Guillaume's mother, occurred soon af t e r h i s a rrival at Falaise, and that therefore Guillaume's birthdate ca n b e f i x e d more precisely to mid-1027.

===950 Birth and Parents===
'''Conan de Rennes''' was born before 16 August 979 C h a r l es Cawley. Foundation for Medieval Genealogy. Medieval Lands D at a b a s e. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/BRITTANY.htm#ConanIdied992 C o n a n I d i ed 992] when he apeared at the court o f E u d e s , count of Chartres. He was the son of Judic ae l ( J u h el; Berengar and Gergerga (or Unknown).
Baldwin states that Conan first appears in contemporary records when a p a p a l l e tter of John XIII names two of the Breton leaders as "Berengariu s " a n d h i s son "Conatus." John XIII was pope from 965 to 972, son Cona t u s h a d b een born at the time of the letter, perhaps 970. Named as a "leader" in that letter, he must have already passed i n f a n c y and childhood. Therefore a birth year estimate of, say, 950, is p l a u s i ble.
Some genealogies report a birth year of 927 in Brittany. This would make him older than one would expect in the battles i n w h i c h h e fought and died.
Conan was first Comte de Rennes S t e w a r t Baldwin. The Henry Project. [http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com / h p r o ject/prov/conan000.htm Conan de Rennes] and then after 990 , C o n a n I " le tort," Duke of Britanny
Some genealogies report the birth of his father Judicael Berengar of Re n n e s , a s 910 and that of his mother, Gerberge, Countess of Rennes, as b e t w e e n 905 and 914. Both of these dates place his p a r e n t s' birth earlier than appears to be true.

===973 Marriage===
In 973 Conan married '''Ermengarde d'Anjou,''' daughter of Geoffroy I " G r i s e gonelle," Comte d'Anjou and Adela de Meaux). Cawley reports that s h e w a s b o rn before 965 and died after 982.

R i ch a r d son gives her birth range from 965 and 974 -- b r a c k e ting her children's births between her marriage and her death.
In about 965, Ermengarde's mother Adela married Geoffroi I Grisegonelle , C o u n t o f Anjou (958/960-987), Count of Chalon (979-987), son of Foulq ue s I I t h e G ood, Count of Anjoy, by his wife Gerberge. T h e c hronologies of other events suggest that Ermengarde de Breta g n e, d a u ghter of Geoffroi and Adele, was born the next year, 966, and m a r r i e d Conan I of Rennes, born about 950, who died in 992. Cawley stat e s t h a t E rmengarde was presumably born before 965 if it is correct that h e r f i r s t child was born in 980.

===979 Chartres===
Conan was present at the court of Eudes, Count of Chartres, on 16 Augus t , 9 7 9 . < ref name="henry"/>

===981 First Battle of Conquereuil===
In 981 Conan fought a battle against Gu�rech, Count of Nantes, and his A n g e v i n allies, which is called the "first" Battle of Conquereuil.

===990 Duke of Brittany ===
Conan assumed the title of Duke of Brittany in the spring of 990 follow i n g h i s a ttack on Nantes and the subsequent death of Count Alan. Conan succeeded in 990 as Conan I "le Tort" Duke of Brit t a n y . < ref name="fmgconan"> Charles Cawley. Foundation for Medieval Ge n e a l o gy. Medieval Lands Database. [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/B R I T T A NY.htm#ConanIdied992 Conan]
Conan held the title of Duke when he gave the lands of Villam�e, Lillel e a n d P a s sille to Mont Saint-Michel, all of which later became part of t h e s e i g neury of Foug�res, in a charter dated 28 July 990.
As duke his rule succeeded the Regency that governed Brittany during th e l i f e o f D rogo and the fractured rule of Brittany after Drogo's death b y h i s b r o thers Ho�l and Guerech . The fractured rule over Brittany resu lt e d i n a s h ort vacancy in the title Duke of Brittany; Conan I had to a l l y h im s elf with the Count of Blois in order to defeat Judicael Berenga r b e f o r e he could assume the title of Duke.
Conan's alliance with the Count of Blois had helped him defeat Judicae l B e r e n gar, he later needed to "rid himself of influence from Blois, [w hi c h h e a c complished by signing] a pact with Richard I of Normandy; [th i s p a c t ] established firm Breton-Norman links for the first time." Ric h a r d I h a d married the daughter of Hugh I the Great, and after this mar r i a g e h ad re-asserted his father's claim as Overlord of the Breton duch y . C o n a n I's pact with him strengthened that assertion but the histori c al d o c u mentation for that Overlordship claim remains doubtful because i t l a r g e ly appears only in the less than authoritative writings of Dudo o f S a i n t -Quentin.

===992 Death===
Conan of Rennes opposed his wife Ermengarde's father and brother Fulk e v e n t h o ugh the marriage was apparently designed to form a political all i a n c e b etween Anjou and Brittany.
Conan was killed in battle at the 2nd Battle of Conquereuil near Nantes 2 7 J u n e 9 9 2. a g a i nst count his brother-in-law Fulk III Nerra, Count of Anjou and his father-in-law Geoffrey I.
Conan is buried at Mont Saint-Michel Abbey in Normandy.

===992 Widow and Son===
Baldwin states that Eermengarde's date and place of death are unknown, b u t s h e d i ed after the death of her husband Conan in 992.
Even after her husband Conan had been killed by her brother Fulk at the b a t t l e o f Battle of Conquereuil in 992, and during the period 992-994 wh e n E r m e ngarde was Regent for their son Geoffrey, she remained loyal to h e r b r o t her Fulk III, Count of Anjou.
In 992, following the interests of her brother, and functioning as Rege n t , s h e a ccepted Capetian over-lordship for Rennes while rejecting that o f O d o I , C o unt of Blois.

==Issue==

===Directly Documented Children===
Richardson states that they had four sons and one daughter. Baldwin states that both Geoffroy and Judith are directly d o c u m e nted as Ermengarde's children.
#[[Bretagne-76|Geoffroi I de Bretagne]], duke of Brittany, was born in Rennes in 980 He died 20 N o v 1 0 0 8 . The Cronicle of S. Florent says that Geo f fr e y w a s son of Conan by a sister of Foulques [Lobineau (1707), 2: 85] . < r e f n ame="ehenry"/>#[[Bretagne-24 |Judith de Bretagne]] also known as Judith of Rennes was born R e n n e s i n 982 and died 16 Jun 1017. At Mont Saint-Mi c h e l s h e married Richard II, "le Bon/l'Irascible," Comte de Normandie, w h o d i e d 2 8 Aug 1027, the son of Count Richard I "Sans-Peur" and Gunno r a ) . < r ef name="henry"/>The Angevin genealogical collection states that J u d i t h , wife of Richard of Normandy, was the daughter of Conan by his wi f e E r m e ngarde, daughter of Geoffroy of Anjou [Poupardin (1900), 208].

===Probable children===
The following children of Conan listed as children by Richardson. Bald w i n s t a tes they are not directly documented as children of Ermengarde, b u t t h e y c ould be her children.
#[Bretagne-22|Judica�l de Porho�t]] , born, say, 98 4 . S o m e a ccounts show him born in Rennes in 975, which would make his m o t h e r a ged 9 at the time. He became Bishop of Vannes. Baldwin notes t h a t i f t h e statement that Judica�l became bishop during the life of his f a t h e r i s correct [Cart. Redon, 309], then placing him as a son of Ermen g a r d e w ould be a tight chronological fit. Judicael , C o m t e d e Porho�t died in 1037. #[[Bretagne-79|Cat ual l o n ] ] born, say, 986. Catuallon was Abbot of Redon < r e f name="ehenry"/> Baldwin says he only was "possibly" abbott of R e d o n . H e died 15 Jan 1050, or later.#Urvod This may be the same person as Hurnod, o r [ [ B r e tagne-145|Hurnodius]] of (Bretagne), born about 970, although an y d a t e o f b irth before 980 is suspect. Baldwin states that he died af te r 1 0 2 6 .

==About Rennes ==
Rennes derives its name from a Celtic tribe, called the Riedones. The p r e s e n t site of Rennes, on the confluence of the Ille and Vilaine rivers w a s t h e p o litical and religious seat of the tribe, spanning most of Brit t a n y . I t was conquered in 57 BCE by Julius Ceasar in his Western conque s t s t h a t ended with the reprisal raid on Britain in 54 BCE. In general k e e p i n g with Roman policy, the site was Romanised, gaining the name Citi v a s R i e donum. The Riedones were quickly romanised, benefitting from the p e a c e a n d superior development of the Romans. As the Empire weakened, a n d a t t a cks from Germanic tribesmen became a reality, some of the toughe s t f o r t ifications ever built in the Roman Empire were constructed. The n i c k n a me, The Red City, descends from the use of red clay brickwork for t h i s .
As Saxon attacks battered and finally destroyed the Sub-Roman state of B r i t a i n, the population of Brittany was augmented by the fleeing refugee s f r o m a c ross the channel, earning the region its name. Brittany then e nt e r e d i nto a complex relationship with the Frankish kingdom, until 851 A D w h e n t he bretons were strong enough to declare full independance und e r t h e D u kes of Brittany.
Rennes was besieged in 1356 by a marauding English army, in support of t h e d e M o n fort faction in the war of Succession, a bloody civil war for t h e t i t l e of the Duchy of Brittany. It was delivered by a French force u n d e r t h e knight Guesclin. The Place des Lices is the site of the engage m e n t t h at forced the English to wthdraw. The war was bloody, long and e n d e d w i th the nephew of the original duke in power.

==Biography==
}
Reginar I "Longneck", or "Langhals" in Dutch, was the founder of the th e d y n a s ty referred to today as the House of Reginar.MEDLANDS H e d i e d 2 5 A ug 915 /19 Jan 916 at Meerssen, near Maastricht. Broadly spe ak i n g , h is area of activity was similar to modern Belgium.
His name is spelled in many ways such as Ranier, Regnier, Reinier, Ragi n a r e t c .
According to Stewart Baldwin (of the Henry projecthttps://fasg.org / p r o j ects/henryproject/data/regin001.htm) his nickname of Langhal s m a y a c t ually have originally been his grandson's nickname.
As was typical in these generations, he was described as a Count, Margr a v e , o r e ven Duke without any specific region being part of this title. * M o d e rn researchers generally associate him with the Maasgau north of M a a s t r icht, because his probable father is associated with that area. Se e t h e f a t her's article.*He is also associated with Hainaut, because his m a i n l i n e of descendants became counts of Hainaut at some point, and cla i m e d i t a s their birthright.*He is also sometimes associated with Hesba y e , w h i ch lies between those two areas.
In reality, all of these associations are speculative. It is in fact no t s o c l e a r that noble held territorial jurisdictions in the same way as l a t e r m e dieval nobles did. More clear is that he was Lay Abbot at severa l o f t h e m o st important Abbeys in the region: Echternach, 897-915, Stav el ot - M a lmedy, Saint-Servais, and Saint-Maximin.

===Possible parents===
Father: Giselbert I, Graf von Maasgau
Mother: _____ daughter of the emperor Lothar
Stewart Baldwin notes that the evidence is not very strong, and also th a t i t i s n o table that Regnier was referred to as "junior" in his positi o n i n E c h ternach, where an older Regnier had held the same position. Pe r h ap s t h at was his father.

It seems likely in any case that Giselbert was a relative.

==Marriage and children==
m.1 '''Hersenda''' . No known issue, and according to Stewart Baldwin, m a y n o t h a ve existed.
m.2 '''Alberada''' . The likely mother of two sons, Gislbert and Regnie r I I .
Stewart Baldwin writes: "Giselbert is directly documented as a son of A l b e r a da, and thus Regnier, evidently younger than Giselbert, was probab l y b y A l b erada as well."Apart from Gilbert and Regnier, there was also o n e k n o w n daughter, who married B�renger, count in pagus Lomacensis. Her n a m e i s n o t known.

===931 Birth===
Robert's date and place of birth are unknown. Set t i p a n i estimates that Robert de Vermandois was born between 931 and 934 . < r e f n a me="settipani"> Christian Settipani, La Pr�histoire des Cap�ti en s ( N o u velle histoire g�n�alogique de l'auguste maison de France, vol. 1 ) , �d. Patrick van Kerrebrouck, 1993 (ISBN 2-9501509-3-4) and th e s e d a t es are echoed by Richardson: "Robert, Count of Meaux, 946--afte r 9 6 6 , a n d in right of his wife, Count of Troyes, 956-after 966, was bo rn b e t w e en 931 and 934."
If one assumes his birth place was the place of his father's capital, h i s f a t h er had three: St-Quentin (Vermandois), Soissons, and Meaux. It i s t h e r e fore hard to narrow down the place other than to start the gener al r e g i o n of "Western Francia."

===Parents===
Robert's father was Heribert II, who died in 943 and was count of Meaux , S o i s s ons, and Vermandois, as well as abbot of Saint-Cr�pin and Saint- M� d a r d ( Soissons).
About Robert's mother there is less agreement. Stewart Baldwin asserts that though she was the daughter of Robert I, king o f F r a n c e, her name is unknown. Settipani shows her a s A d e l a o f France and Cawley gives her the nameA de l a [ C a pet]. Cawley, Foundation for Medieval Gen e a l o g y, Medieval Lands Data Base.

===946 Inheritance of Meaux===
In 946 he received Meaux as his share when his father's lands were part i t i o n ed and before 18 June 950 he married Adele.

Her mother w a s E r m e ngarde, who is known from the charter of 11 December 942.
Baldwin sets the boundaries of the wedding to Ad�la�de alias Werra, dau g h t e r o f Giselbert, duke of Burgundy, between 11 December 942 and 18 Ju n e 9 5 0 < ref name="henry"/> Ad�la�de appears in a charter with her paren t s o n 1 1 D e cember 942. Robert appears as a witness to a charter of Gis e l be rt d a ted between 19 June 949 and 18 June 950, and he is married to A d �la� d e at that time. Robert married before 18 Ju n e 9 5 0 A d elais (alias Werra), daughter of Giselbert, Duke of Burgundy, C o u n t o f C halon-sur-Saone, Troyes, Autun,Avalois, and Beaunois, by his w i f e E r m engarde. Cawley notes in addition that Ad e l a i s ( Wera) married before 950 Robert as her first husband, and gives G i s e l b ert's titles as Duc des Bourguignons, Comte de Chalon-sur-Sa�ne et d e T r o y e s and his wife as Ermengardis [de Dijon] ([930/35]-after Aug 967 ). < r e f n a me="fmgcn967"/>
Adelais' date and place of birth are unknown. Her h u s b a n d was born about 931. Since he would be only 19 in 950, a marriag e i n t h e l a ter part of the time period, say, 949, would appear most rea so na b l e .
If Adelais was 16 when she was married, and the marriage took place in 9 4 9 , h e r e stimated birth year would be 933. Wikipedia gives Adelais' a n e s t i m ated time frame of 914 to 920. This not only g i v e s h e r an age at first marriage (949) between 29 and 35, but also ma k e s h e r f rom 11 to 17 years older than her husband.
She evidently survived her husband, and appears with Robert's brother c o u n t H e ribert in a fragment of the cartulary of Monti�ramey ["... S. Ad e l e i d ae comitissae, S. Ettini, S. Eriberti comitis ..." Werner (1960), 1 1 2 - 3 , n . 95]
Adelais, was living in August 967. and died after t h a t d a t e.
Baldwin notes that one may encounter a falsely attributed second wife: I n g e l t rude. This error is based on a charter of June 960, in which a " c o u n t " Robert and his wife Ingeltrude appear witnessing a charter of Fr o t g a i re, bishop of Chalon. This Robert has been identified by some with R o b e r t o f Troyes but he was in fact a different Robert, a viscount of D i j o n o f t hat name. Robert and Ingeltrude were the parents of Lambert, c o u n t o f C halon. The editor of the cartulary notes that the title of cou n t g i v e n to Robert in this charter was probably a copying error. Stewa r t B a l d win, The Henry Project.

===956 Count of Troyes===

He became count of Troyes in 956.

===956 Lands Inherited from Wife's Father===
Robert became Comte de Troyes in 956 on the death of his father-in-law, b y r i g h t o f his wife. John Morby, Dynasties of the World: a chronological and genealo g i c a l h andbook (Oxford, Oxfordshire, U.K.: Oxford University Press, 198 9 ) , p a g e 85. Hereinafter cited as Dynasties of the World. Cited by Dar y l L u n d y, The Peerage. M, #150390, d. circa 975 D arryl Lundy, The Peerage. Robert, Comte de Troyeshttp://thepeer a g e . c om/p15039.htm#i150390. Last edited 11 July 2005
Stewart Baldwin notes that Robert "is first mentioned with that title o n 6 A u g u s t 959, when he appears with his wife and young son Heribert [" Plac u i t a t que convenit inter gloriosum Trecassine urbis comitem Robertu m e t G r a t ianum abbatem monasterii sancti Petri Dervensis, ... Signum Ro tb er t i , g loriosissimi comitis. S. Adelais comitisse. S. Erberti filii e o r u m . . .." Cart. Monti�ramey, 19 (#14); see also Lot (1901), 269; Werne r ( 1 9 6 0 ), 112]."
Thus Robert was the Comte de Meaux from 946 to 966 and of Troyes from 9 5 6 t o 9 6 6 . He was never Count of Vermandois as t h a t t i t le went to his brothers Odo and then Albert, who outlived Robert .
The union of these two counties resulted in the creation of the County o f C h a m p agne. http://www.celtic-casimir.com/webtree/ 2/ 2 9 4 8 0.htm

===959 Attack on Dijon===
In 959 he captured the city of Dijon and drove out the bishop, but he w a s a t t a cked by Kings Lothair of France and Otto of Germany in 960 and f o r c e d t o submit.

===966 Death===
Robert, Count of Troyes and Meaux, probably died after 19 June 966. He was still alive on 19 June 966, when he is found w i t n e s sing a charter of his son-in-law, count Geoffroy Grisegonelle of A n j o u < r ef name="henry"/>
He probably died not long afterward, succeeded by his brother Heribert " v e t u l us" and eventually by his son Heribert "juvenis".
Baldwin notes that the death date of August 968 given by Arbois de Juba i n v i l le [Arbois de Jubainville (1859-66), 1: 141] depends on Robert's d u b i o u s identification as the father of Archambaud, archbishop of Sens, a n d o n a n i n correct placement of the death date of Archambaud in 968.
The location of his death and burial is unknown. Again, "Western Franc i a " w o u ld be accurate - Meaux is in present region Ile de France, while T r o y e s i s in present region Champagne-Ardennes; the Kingdom of Western F r a n c i a dissolved on 3 July 987 when France was founded.

==Issue==
No documents attest to the birth years of any of the children. Their m o t h e r , Adelaide, born about 920, was not married in 942 (age 22) and wa s m a r r i ed by 950 (age 30) Robert was dead in 966. Wikitree estimates Adele de Meaux's birth as early as 935. Cawley est i m a t e s a birth as early as 945. Their children are here assigned birth y e a r s a t t wo year intervals beginning in 945.

===Two Confirmed Children===
Richardson notes that Robert and Adelais had two children, Heribert and A d e l e . Cawley reports four children, but Baldwin, wi t h e x t e nsive discussion of why the second pair are dubious, confirms tw o c h i l d ren only, Heribert and Adele.
If the larger number is correct, Robert had two daughters with similar, o f t e n i n terchangeable names. For clarity here, the better documented of t h e d a u g hters, shown here first, is addressed a Adele or Adela, while th e o t h e r d aughter, less well documented, is addressed as Adelais or Adel ai d e . T h is is simply a convenience for the modern reader, as both wom e n a p p e ar with a range of overlapping names.

===Two Possible Children===
Difficulties with properly identifying the persons in various documents h a s l e d t o t he supposition of one or more additional children of Robert. T h e s e t w o are listed by Cawley and continued to be linked on Wikitree.
#[[Vermandois-318|Adelais de Troyes]], born, say, 954. Baldwin refers t o h e r a s t h e unnamed wife of Charles, duke of Lorraine and notes that " Th i s c o n jecture is based on a passage in Historia Francorum Senonensis, w h i c h s t ates that Charles married a daughter of count Heribert of Troyes . " < r e f n ame="henry"/> Cawley eliminates Heribert, son of Robert, born a b o u t 9 5 0, as too young to be Charles' father in law. Cawley also elimi n a t e s H �ribert II Comte de Vermandois, father of Robert, who was not Co m t e d e T r oyes. Baldwin notes that the same pas s a g e f a lsely makes Charles into a son of king Lothair, when he was in f a c t a b r o ther and adds that for chronological reaso n s , S e t tipani conjectures that this unnamed woman was instead a daughte r o f R o b e rt Settipani (1993), 337-8, n. 1010, cited by Stewart Ba ld wi n , H e nry Project. Cawley, following Settipani's conjecture , m a k e s C harles' unnamed wife to be Adelais de Troyes, born between 95 0 a n d 9 5 1 , died after 991), a second daughter of Robert with a name sim il a r t o t h e first, who married about 970 Charles de France, son of Loui s I V " d ' O utremer" King of the Franks & his wife Gerberga von Sachsen. < re f n a m e ="fmgcn967"/> #Archambaud, born, say, 956. Cawley states that a c c o r d ing to Gallia Christiana, Archambaud Archbishop of Sens was the so n o f R o b e rt Comte de Troyes and his wife Adelais de Bourgogne. Cawley also notes that the chronology is unfavourable f o r t h i s p arentage to be correct. While placing A r c h a m baud in this family, Cawley notes that the name Archambaud is not o t h e r w ise found in the family of the comtes de Vermandois, which also su g g e s t s that the suggested parentage might not be correct.] Baldwin notes that this supposed son has been assigned to R o b e r t b y a number of sources, but that since Archambaud's father Robert i s n o t c l e arly identified, the suggestion that he was the same person as R o b e r t o f Troyes is uncertain at best. Baldwin notes that neither Werner n o r S e t t ipani include Archambaud among Robert's children A r chambaud was Archbishop of Sens from 959-968. Cawley notes that although stated to be "iuvenis" when he died , A r c h a mbaud must have been a young child when installed as archbishop i f t h e e s t imated dates of marriage and birth of the members of Comte Rob er t ' s f a mily are correct. His extreme youth at the time of his appoint m e n t i s n ot commented on in the sources so far consulted. He died 29 Aug 968, and was buried at Sens Saint-Pierre-le- V i f ) . < ref name="fmgcn967"/>

===One Doubtful Child===
*Ermentrude. A daughter [[Freteval-1|Ermentrude]], birth year unknown, d i e d 1 0 0 3, has previously been linked as a daughter of Robert. No sourc e m a t e r ial confirming such a relationship has been found and she has th er e f o r e been removed as a daughter of Robert. If documentation for the r e l a t i onship is found, the linkage can easily be restored.

===914 Marriage===
Estimating marriage date: Assuming his birth in 880, he would have bee n 2 1 i n t h e y ear 901 and a marriage would most likely have occurred aft er 9 0 1 .
Baldwin states that Heribert II married an unnamed daughter of Robert I , K i n g o f F rance, Richardson adds that this unnamed d a u g h t er was Robert's by his wife Aelis. Baldwin ad d s t h a t t he relationship between the families is confirmed by the fact t h a t [ [ R obertian-1|Hugues the Grand]] was termed an 'avunculus' (uncle, m o t h e r 's brother) of Heribert's sons, who in turn are called nepotes (n e p h e w s) of Hugues Heribert's relationship with an u n n a m e d daughter is further confirmed by Flodoard naming Hugo an uncle o f H e r i b ert's sons. Charles Cawley, Foundation f or M e d i e val Genealogy, Medieval Lands Database. Adela
[http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/CAPET.htm#_ftnref76 Capet]

Cawley believes that Robert's daughter was named Adela, born before 898 , a n d t h a t Adela was the daughter of Robert's wife Adela, whom Cawley b el i e v e s to be Robert's first wife, deceased by 207. C a w l ey, Foundation for Medieval Genealogy, Medieval Lands Database [ h t t p : //fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORTHERN%20FRANCE.htm#_ftnref2192] E l s e where Cawley refers to Heribert's wife's mother as Lietgardis. < r e f n a m e="fmgcapet"/> Adele as the name of the daughter of Robert who m a r r i e d Heribert also appears in Flodoard. The A n n a l s o f Flodoard of Reims, 919-966, eds. Steven Fanning; Bernard S. Ba c h r a c h (Toronto: University of Toronto Press Inc., 2011), p. 21 n. 77. C i t e d b y W ikipedia.
Following Settipani, Cawley believes Heribert was m a r r i e d before 21 May 907 based on a reading of a document of that date w h i c h n a mes Robert as count and Adela as countess. Cawley believed that R o b e r t 's wife Adela was dead by that time and therefore the document ref e r r e d t o his daughter Adela, countess by virtue of her marriage to Heri b e r t . < ref name="fmg2192"/> Baldwin prefers the interpretation that Ade l a w a s l i ving and Robert's wife at the time of the 907 document, and th a t t h e r e was an earlier wife, Beatrix.
Cawley states that Adela's birth date is estimated from the birth of he r f i r s t c hild in 915. This dating would place t h e y e a r o f Adela's marriage as 914.
Dating the marriage to 914 would also be consistent with another fact. F l o d o a rd records that Heribert's second son Hughes was aged 5 when Herib e r t h a d h im made archbishop of Reims in 925, placing Hughes' birth at 9 2 0 . E u d es was Heribert's oldest son; assume that in the natural cours e o f t h i n gs there was a daughter born in 918 and Eudes in 916 or 915, a nd o n e h a s a n estimated marriage year of 914
This is also consistent with the signing of a charter in which the two f a m i l i es appear together. On 30 May 914 Heribert appears as a witness t o a c h a r t er of Robert (of Neustria) and his son Hugues on 30 May 914 < ref> �m i le Mabille, Introduction au Chroniques des Comtes d'Anjou (Soci �t� d e l ' H i stoire de France, vol. 155, Paris, 1871), xcviii-c cited by S t ew a r t B aldwin.

===Ancestry===

'''Radnailt of Dublin's Ancestry by Stewart Baldwin'''
The other main "Gateway Ancestor" to Ireland is Radnailt, daughter of t h e N o r s e Dublin prince Amlaib by his wife Maelcorcre, daughter of Dunla i n g m a c T uathail, king of Leinster, whose ancestry is given in the Life o f G r u f f udd ap Cynan (her son, ancestor of numerous Welsh and English fa mi l i e s ). Since most of her immediate ancestors were also ancestors of E v e o f L e i nster, it does not take much additional room to give her chart t o o . E v e o f Leinster does not share Radnailt's Dublin Norse ancestors, w h o a r e g i ven here to the earliest proven generation. Stewart Baldwin. Note in Soc.Genealogy.Medieval dated 2/26/98, r e p o s t ing an item posted 27 July 1996. [https://groups.google.com/forum / # ! m s g/soc.genealogy.medieval/dmggM76nz2I/xj5Z2pFGoaEJ Eve of Leinster a n d R a d n aillt of Dublin] Baldwin notes that the numerous diacritical ma r k s h a v e been omitted on thischart, due to the usual difficulty of tran s m i t t ing special characters over the internet.

:5. The twelfth century "Cogadh Gaedhel re Gailaibh" [ed. Todd, Rolls S e r i e s 4 8, London 1867], an independent source, confirms that Sitric was m a r r i e d to a daughter of Brian, but does not give her name, nor confirm t h a t s h e w as Amlaib's mother.:32. The contemporary records consistently r e f e r t o S itric (Sigtrygg) as being a grandson of Imar (Ivar) without id e n t i f ying his father. The possible identity of the intervening generat i o n w a s d iscussed at length in this newsgroup some time ago.:64. There i s n o c o n t emporary evidence for the parentage of Ivar. The mythical Rag na rr L o t h brok, his alleged father, is of very dubious historicity.

While it would be nice to have confirmation of the se m a r r i ages in a more contemporary source, there does not seem to be a ny g o o d r e ason to doubt them. The close connections of Gruffudd ap Cyn an w i t h D u blin are well documented.
