    Robert I, the "Magnificent" and Harlette de Falaise were forbidden to marry because of her lowly rank. Called Arlotta, she lived in an apartment in the walls of the castle. (C-1815) They were the parents of William the Conqueror. Robert assisted in the restoration of King Henry of France to his throne for which he received additional lands. Robert died on his return trip from a pilgrimage to the holy land from the heat and fatigue of the travel. He is also called Robert II in some sources. (C-2098, 1351)

    Notes:

    The mother of William the Conqueror is in discrepancy. It is either Herleve de Falaise, also spelled Harlette and Arlette. However, Usherwood states that she was Duke Robert's mistress, a tanner's daughter. His mother married a Norman nobleman after Robert's death. She helped her son's dukedom be saved by this marriage. William's birth date is also in question, listed as 1024 or 1027. What is not in question is the greatness of William the Conqueror. He had a bold spirit, orderly mind and tireless energy. He had European fame by the age of 38. He was Duke of Normandy and had inherited Normandy from his father at about age 8. Edward I, King of England, died without heirs and had told William that he would be his successor. On his deathbed in 1066, Edward named Harold his successor. This is when William decided to attack resulting in the famous Battle of Hastings and William's being crowned King of England on Christmas Day of 1066. (C-330) He married his cousin, Matilda, daughter of the Count of Flanders, to whom he was devoted. He died after a full life in Roen after months of internal bleeding from being thrown from his horse. The horse reared when burnt by embers in Mantes, a town he had just captured. (Usherwood, Reign by Reign)

    William married Matilda (Or Maud) D.Of BALDWIN V in 1053. Matilda (daughter of Baldwin V, "The Pious" COUNT OF FLANDERS and Adele PRINCESS OF FRANCE) was born in 1031 in Flanders, , FRA; died in 1083 in Caen, , Basse-Normandie, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
