Robert the Magnificent[1] (June 22, 1000 – 3 July 1035), also called the Devil or Robert I, was the Duke of Normandy from 1027 until his death. He was the son of Richard II of Normandy and Judith, daughter of Conan I of Rennes. He was the father of William the Conqueror.

When his father died, his elder brother Richard succeeded, whilst he became Count of Hiémois. When Richard died a year later, there were great suspicions that Robert had Richard murdered, hence his other nickname, "Robert le diable" ("the devil"). He is sometimes identified with the legendary Robert the Devil.

Robert aided King Henry I of France against Henry's rebellious brother and mother, and for his help he was given the territory of the Vexin. He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported Edward the Confessor, who was then in exile at Robert's court, and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy.

By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise, he was father of two children:

1. the future William I of England (1028-1087)
2. Adelaide of Normandy (1030-c. 1083), who was married three times:
1. Enguerrand II, Count of Ponthieu
2. Lambert II, Count of Lens
3. Odo II of Champagne

After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. According to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum he travelled by way of Constantinople, reached Jerusalem, and died on the return journey at Nicaea on 2 July 1035. Some sources attribute his death to poison and date it to 1 or 3 July. His son William, aged about eight, succeeded him.

According to the historian William of Malmesbury, around 1086 William sent a mission to Constantinople and Nicaea, charging it with bringing his father's body back to be buried in Normandy. Permission was granted, but, having travelled as far as Apulia (Italy) on the return journey, the envoys learned that William himself had meanwhile died. They then decided to re-inter Robert's body in Italy.

(Research):Robert I Encyclopædia Britannica Article died July 1035, Nicaea byname Robert The Magnificent, or The Devil, French Robert Le Magnifique, or Le Diable duke of Normandy (1027-35), the younger son of Richard II of Normandy and the father, by his mistress Arlette, of William the Conqueror of England. On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later. A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Français, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.

Basic Life Information

Born circa 1008
Acceded on August 6, 1027
Died between July 1 and 3, 1035 at Nicaea in Bithynia while returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Ancient Nicaea was located about 65 miles south east of Constantinople. Referred to as Robert "the Devil" (Moriarty, Planatagent Ancestry, pg. 13), he is also known as Robert "the Magnificent".

Relationship and Children

Robert had a girlfriend named Herleva. Both were under twenty, possibly as young as seventeen, when Herleva became pregnant with their first child who was to become William the Conqueror. Herleva's father was Fulbert, who was probably a tanner. Fulbert has been described as "polinctor" which translates more readily as "embalmer", or one who prepares corpses for burial, but the traditon is strong that he was a tanner; and Falaise, Normandy was famous for its tanneries.
Robert married in 1031 to Estrith, daughter of Sweyn Forkbeard, King of Denmark. They had a divorce in 1032. Estrith had been previously married to Robert's father, Richard "the Good" and they had a divorce after a year or so as well. We are left to wonder if Estrith, whose mother was known as "Sigrid the Haughty", was difficult to get along with.

Robert named named William heir to the Dukedom of Normandy prior to his ill advised pilgrimmage. William's guardians were:
Robert, Count of Évreux and Archbishop of Rouen (died on March 16, 937), William's great uncle.
Alan (III), Count of Brittany, William's father's cousin.
Gilbert "Crispin", Count of Brionne, also William's father's cousin.
Osbern, Steward or Dapifer of Normandy, William's great grandmother's nephew.
Turchetil (Turold), a respected official whose exact function in not understood.
Walter, William's uncle (his mother's brother), who was never named as an official "tutor" but nonetheless saved William from assassins and murderers on several occasions.

Death

In late 1034, curiosity or devotion induced Robert (I) "the Devil", 6th Duke of Normandy, to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where the fatigues of the journey and the heat of the climate so impaired his consitution he died at Nicaea (in the area of Iznik in modern Turkey) on his way home.

When Richard died a year later, there were great suspicions that Robert had Richard murdered, hence his other nickname, "Robert le diable" ("the devil"). He is sometimes identified with the legendary Robert the Devil.

Robert aided King Henry I of France against Henry's rebellious brother and mother, and for his help he was given the territory of the Vexin. He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported Edward the Confessor, who was then in exile at Robert's court, and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy.

Relationship and Children

By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise, he was father of two children:
The future William I of England (1028-1087)
Adelaide of Normandy (1030-c. 1083), who was married three times:
Enguerrand II, Count of Ponthieu
Lambert II, Count of Lens
Odo II of Champagne

Pilgramage and Death

After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. According to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum he travelled by way of Constantinople, reached Jerusalem, and died on the return journey at Nicaea on 2 July 1035. Some sources attribute his death to poison and date it to 1 or 3 July. His son William, aged about eight, succeeded him.

According to the historian William of Malmesbury, around 1086 William sent a mission to Constantinople and Nicaea, charging it with bringing his father's body back to be buried in Normandy. Permission was granted, but, having travelled as far as Apulia (Italy) on the return journey, the envoys learned that William himself had meanwhile died. They then decided to re-inter Robert's body in Italy.

Acceded on August 6, 1027
Died between July 1 and 3, 1035 at Nicaea in Bithynia while returning from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Ancient Nicaea was located about 65 miles south east of Constantinople. Referred to as Robert "the Devil" (Moriarty, Planatagent Ancestry, pg. 13), he is also known as Robert "the Magnificent".

Relationship and Children

Robert had a girlfriend named Herleva. Both were under twenty, possibly as young as seventeen, when Herleva became pregnant with their first child who was to become William the Conqueror. Herleva's father was Fulbert, who was probably a tanner. Fulbert has been described as "polinctor" which translates more readily as "embalmer", or one who prepares corpses for burial, but the traditon is strong that he was a tanner; and Falaise, Normandy was famous for its tanneries.
Robert married in 1031 to Estrith, daughter of Sweyn Forkbeard, King of Denmark. They had a divorce in 1032. Estrith had been previously married to Robert's father, Richard "the Good" and they had a divorce after a year or so as well. We are left to wonder if Estrith, whose mother was known as "Sigrid the Haughty", was difficult to get along with.

Robert named named William heir to the Dukedom of Normandy prior to his ill advised pilgrimmage. William's guardians were:
Robert, Count of Évreux and Archbishop of Rouen (died on March 16, 937), William's great uncle.
Alan (III), Count of Brittany, William's father's cousin.
Gilbert "Crispin", Count of Brionne, also William's father's cousin.
Osbern, Steward or Dapifer of Normandy, William's great grandmother's nephew.
Turchetil (Turold), a respected official whose exact function in not understood.
Walter, William's uncle (his mother's brother), who was never named as an official "tutor" but nonetheless saved William from assassins and murderers on several occasions.

Death

In late 1034, curiosity or devotion induced Robert (I) "the Devil", 6th Duke of Normandy, to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where the fatigues of the journey and the heat of the climate so impaired his consitution he died at Nicaea (in the area of Iznik in modern Turkey) on his way home.

On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later. A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Français, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.On the day he left for Turkey, Robert asked his supporters to accept his illegitimate son William as his officialSuccessor in the event that he didn't manage to return.

Robert, called "The Magnificent" (French, "le Magnifique") for his love of finery, and also called "The Devil" was the son of Duke Richard II of Normandy and Judith, daughter of Conan I, Duke of Brittany.

When his father died, his elder brother Richard succeeded, whilst he became Count of Hiémois. When Richard died a year later, there were great suspicions that Robert had Richard murdered, hence his other nickname, "Robert le diable" (the devil). He is sometimes identified with the legendary Robert the Devil.

He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported Edward the Confessor, who was then in exile at Robert's court, and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy.

By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise, he was father of two children:

1. the future William the Conqueror (1028-1087)
2. Adelaide of Normandy (1030-c. 1083), who was married three times:
1. Enguerrand II, Count of Ponthieu
2. Lambert II, Count of Lens
3. Odo II of Champagne

After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. According to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum he travelled by way of Constantinople, reached Jerusalem, and died on the return journey at Nicaea on 2 July 1035. Some sources attribute his death to poison and date it to 1 or 3 July. His son William, aged about eight, succeeded him.

According to the historian William of Malmesbury, around 1086 William sent a mission to Constantinople and Nicaea, charging it with bringing his father's body back to be buried in Normandy. Permission was granted, but, having travelled as far as Apulia (Italy) on the return journey, the envoys learned that William himself had meanwhile died.

They then decided to re-inter Robert's body in Italy.

Robert I was not well liked. He died of poison, perhaps by his own follo wers.
Robert was the Duke of Normandy from 1027 to 1035. He was the second so n of Richard II 288 . He succeeded his brother Richard III, who was Duk e for only one year, a fact that may indicate that Richard III may have b een murdered. Robert was the father of William the Conqueror 220 . Willia m's mother was Herleva 233 who Robert did not marry. Robert faced problem s as soon as he succeeded his brother, facing conflicts with Robert of Ro uen and Bishop Hugh of Bayeux, both churchmen who owned large amounts o f land. He defeated Hugh and came to a compromise with Robert.
Robert was not slow in assisting both the French King Henry I, and the En glish monarchy in times of trouble. He gave refuge to Edward and Albert t wo brothers. Edward was to become 'The Confessor' 293 , and was to promis e the English throne to Robert's son William. In 1035, Robert traveled t o the Holy lands on pilgrimage but before he left, he made sure that Will iam would become Duke of Normandy if he didn't return. He needed to hav e this confirmed, as William was illegitimate. As it was, Robert was kill ed returning from Jerusalem, and so the eight year old William became Duk e. William's first years were in a duchy transformed by civil war after t he death of Robert.
In the year 1033 Robert Assists English and French Kings
Robert I, Duke of Normandy 232 was an ally of the French King Henry I , and also assisted two English brothers, Edward (to become Edward the Co nfessor) 293 and Alfred, sons of Ethelred, King of the English 43 , who w as overthrown by Canute 320 in 1016. Robert may had tried to assist Edwar d and Albert in their attempts to retake the English throne back from Can ute. It may have been for this assistance that Edward was to promise Robe rt's son William (the Conqueror) 220 the future crown of England.

Robert I (or Robert the Magnificent), d. 1035, was duke of Normandy (1027–35) and the father of William the Conqueror. He is often identified with the legendary Robert the Devil. He aided King Henry I of France against Henry's rebellious brother and mother, and for his help he was given the territory of the Vexin. He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported Edward the Confessor, then in exile at Robert's court, and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy. After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and died at Nicaea.

byname ROBERT The MAGNIFICENT, or The DEVIL, French ROBERT le MAGNIFIQUE, or le DIABLE (d. July 1035, Nicaea), duke of Normandy (1027-35), the younger son of Richard II of Normandy and the father, by his mistress Arlette, of William the Conqueror of England. On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later. A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Français, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
Robert, called "The Magnificent" (French, "le Magnifique") for his love of finery, and also called "The Devil" was the son of Duke Richard II of Normandy and Judith, daughter of Conan I, Duke of Brittany. When his father died, his elder brother Richard succeeded, whilst he became Count of Himois. When Richard died a year later, there were great suspicions that Robert had Richard murdered, hence his other nickname, "Robert le diable" (the devil). He is often mis-identified with the legendary Robert the Devil. Robert aided King Henry I of France against Henry`s rebellious brother and mother, and for his help he was given the territory of the Vexin. He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported Edward the Confessor, who was then in exile at Robert`s court, and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy. By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise, he was father of two children: the future William the Conqueror (1028-1087). Adeliza, Countess of Aumale (1030-c.108

K: Robert I "le Magnifique ou le Diable." Count d'Hieme. Duke ofNormandy. In line 1350 he calls him erroneously calls him Richard I.
Robert was called both "The Magnificent" and also "Robert the Devil," because of his "reckless and violent deeds of audacity, whetherin private life or in warlike expeditions." In 1034 or 1035, after a "fairlife from the political point of view, but one full of turbulence and moral irregularity" he undertook a pilgrimage, barefoot, to Jerusalem "toexpiate his sins..." The Norman prelates and barons urged him not to go because they believed he might die on the pilgrimage (they were right) and he had no successor. Robert, therefore, named his bastard son, William, as hissuccessor and prevailed upon King Henry I of France to sanction the arrangement--a decision the king was later to regret.
Guizot says Robert I was the fifth in succession from Rollo, the firstruler of Normandy. William was named after William Longsword, the son andsuccessor of Rollo. So the Norman reign went from Rollo, to William Longsword,Richard I, Richard II, Richard III, Robert I and William, who would become Williamthe Conqueror and, subsequently, William I, King of England.
Richard III and Robert I were sons of Richard II, according to a chartin Butler.
Robert instructed Herluin (another spelling) de Conteville to marryhis mistress, Harlette, if he failed to return from the Crusade. Herluin didso, and they had children.
Dukes says Robert's last years were marked by signs of "eccentricity,if not unsoundness of mind."

Robert I av Normandie, også kalt for ?den praktfulle? (fransk ?le Magnifique?) på grunn av sin forkjærlighet for stas og pynt, men også kalt for ?Djevelen?, var sønn av Richard II av Normandie og Judith, datter av Conan I av Bretagne.

Da hans far døde etterfulgte hans eldre bror Rikard III som hertug mens hans selv ble greve av Hiémois. Da Rikard døde året etter ble det mistenkt at Robert hadde fått Rikard drept, derfor tilnavnet ?Djevelen?, ?Robert le diable?. Han er noen ganger identifisert eller forvekslet med den legendariske Robert Djevelen.

Robert hjalp kong Henrik I av Frankrike mot dennes opprørske bror og mor, og for denne hjelpen fikk han området Vexin. Han grep også inn i hendelsene i Flandern, støttet engelske Edvard Bekjenneren som da var i eksil ved Roberts hoff i Normandie og støttet monarkiske reformer i Normandie.

Med sin elskerinne Herleva av Falaise ble han far til to barn:

Den framtidige Vilhelm Erobreren (1028-1087), også kalt for ?Vilhelm Bastarden? etter som han var avlet utenfor ekteskap.
Adelaide av Normandie (1030-ca 1083), som ble gift tre ganger med henholdsvis:
Enguerrand II, greve av Ponthieu
Lambert II, greve av Lens
Odo II av Champagne
Etter å ha gjort sin illegitime sønn Vilhelm sin arving dro Robert II på pilegrimsferd to Jerusalem. I henhold til Gesta Normannorum Ducum reiste han om Konstantinopel, nådde Jerusalem og døde på tilbaketuren i Nikaia, som sannsynligvis er dagens Iznik i Tyrkia den 2. juli 1035. Noen kilder har oppgitt at hans død skyldes forgifting og at den skjedde den 1. eller den 3. juli. Hans sønn Vilhelm, da omtrent åtte år gammel, etterfulgte ham.

I henhold til historikeren William av Malmesbury sendte Vilhelm en gang rundt 1086 en delegasjon til Konstantinopel og Nikaia for å frakte farens lik tilbake for å bli gravlagt i Normandie. Tillatelse ble gitt, men etter å ha reist så langt som til Apulia i Italia på tilbaketuren fikk de høre at Vilhelm selv hadde død i mellomtiden. De besluttet da å gravlegge Roberts lik i Italia.

Robert (I) the Devil Duke of Normandy from 1027. Also known as the Magnificent, he was the father of William the Conqueror, and was legendary for his cruelty. He became duke after the death of his brother Richard III, in which he may have been implicated. The "Robert the Devil" who is the hero of three Old French romances is a mythical figure, the product of an unholy copulation between a demon and the duchess of Normandy who, after a life of terrible brutality, became a famously holy hermit. © Copyright Helicon Publishing Ltd 1996.

Robert I, surnamed le Diable (d. 1035), Duke of Normandy. In 1035 he made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, on the way home from which he died at Nicæa. His son was William the Conqueror of England. [The Home University Encyclopedia, 1946]

Count d'Hieme. Duke of Normandy. In line 1350 he calls him erroneously calls him Richard I. Robert was called both "The Magnificent" and also "Robert the Devil," because of his "reckless and violent deeds of audacity, whether in private life or in warlike expeditions." In 1034 or 1035, after a "fair life from the political point of view, but one full of turbulence and moral irregularity" he undertook a pilgrimage, barefoot, to Jerusalem "to expiate his sins..." The Norman prelates and barons urged him not to go because they believed he might die on the pilgrimage (they were right) and he had no successor. Robert, therefore, named his bastard son, William, as his successor and prevailed upon King Henry I of France to sanction the arrangement--a decision the king was later to regret. Guizot says Robert I was the fifth in succession from Rollo, the first ruler of Normandy. William was named after William Longsword, the son and successor of Rollo. So the Norman reign went from Rollo, to William Longsword, Richard I, Richard II, Richard III, Robert I and William, who would become William the Conqueror and, subsequently, William I, King of England. Richard III and Robert I were sons of Richard II, according to a chart in Butler. Robert instructed Herluin (another spelling) de Conteville to marry his mistress, Harlette, if he failed to return from the Crusade. Herluin did so, and they had children. Dukes says Robert's last years were marked by signs of "eccentricity, if not unsoundness of mind." AIS: Robert, Duke of Normandy, born about 995, Normandy, France; died 2 July 1035, Nicaea, Turkey.
