  Through his wife Emma, he inherited a large property in central Normand y , i n c l uding the honours of Pacy, Jouy, and Cocherel on the Eure, lands d e p e n d ant on Breteuil and centred on Ivry, the earliest demesne of the N o r m a n ' dukes' (D . C. Douglas, William the Conqueror, pp. 89-90, 1964). T h e s e l a nds included the fief of Freschenes. Guardian to the young Duke William (later known as William the Conquero r ) , h e w a s a nephew of Duchess Gunnora. A number of Norman barons would n o t a c c e pt an illegitimate son as their leader and in 1040 an attempt wa s m a d e t o k ill William (the Conqueror). The plot failed but they did ki ll t h e g u a rdians, one of whom was Osbern. He was murdered by William d e M o n g o mery.
