    Notes:

    Richard I of Normandy (c.935 - November 20, 996) was the Duke of Normandy from 942 to 996. He was called Richard the Fearless (French, Sans Peur).
    He was born to William I of Normandy, Duke of Normandy, and Sprota. His date of birth is unknown, but he was still a boy when his father died in 942. His mother was a Breton concubine captured in war and bound to William by a Danish marriage. After William died, Sprota became the wife of Esperleng, a wealthy miller.

    Richard was still a boy when his father died, and so he was powerless to stop Louis IV of France when he seized Normandy. Richard escaped from his prison at Laon, allied himself with Norman and Viking leaders, drove Louis out of Rouen, and took back Normandy by 947.

    He was first married to Emma of Paris (Duchess of Normandy) in 960. She died after 966, with no issue.
    According to Robert of Torigny, not long after Emma's death, Duke Richard went out hunting and stopped at the house of a local forester. He became enamoured of the forester's wife, Seinfreda, but she being a virtuous woman, suggested he court her unmarried sister, Gunnor, instead. Gunnor became his bride, and her family rose to prominence. Her brother, Herefast de Crepon, was involved in a controversial trial involving the Cathars. She was, like Richard, of Norse descent, being a Dane by blood. Richard finally married her to legitimate their children:
    " Richard II, Duke of Normandy (The Good),
    " Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, Count of Evreux, died 1037.
    " Mauger, Earl of Corbeil, died after 1033.
    " Robert Danus, died between 985/989.
    " Emma of Normandy, died 1052.
    " Hawise of Normandy, wife of Geoffrey I, Duke of Brittany.
    " Maud of Normandy, wife of Odo II of Blois, Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres.
    Richard was known to have had several mistresses and produced childen with many of them. Known children are:
    " Geoffrey, Count of Brionne, (b. ca. 970)
    " Hawise (b. ca. 978), d. 21 Feb 1034. m. Geoffrey of Brittany, Duke of Brittany, (ca. 997), son of Conan I of Brittany, Duke of Brittany, "le Tort", and Ermengarde of Anjou.
    " William d'Eu, Count d'Eu, (b. ca. 985).
    He died in Fecamp, France on November 20, 996 of natural causes.

    !Colonial and Revolutionary Lineages of America (973 D2ah) Vol. 2 He had at least three other concubines and wife Emma, Dutchess of Normandy.

    Notes:

    William Longsword (died December 17, 942) was jarl (ruler) of Normandy.
    Little is known about his early years. He was born overseas in one of the many Viking territories before his father Rollo settled in northern France. William's mother was named Poppa; all that is known of her is that she was a Christian, and the daughter of a Count Berengar. According to the Planctus, he was baptized a Christian.
    William succeeded Rollo sometime around 928. It appears that he faced a rebellion early in his reign, from Normans who felt he had become too Frankified. The following years are obscure. In 939 William became involved in a war with Arnulf I of Flanders, which soon became intertwined with the other conflicts of the reign of Louis IV of France. He was killed by followers of Arnulf while at a meeting to settle their conflict. His son Richard I of Normandy succeeded him.
