Notizen bei Willem I de Normandie

GUILLAUME de Normandie, illegitimate son of ROBERT II Duke of Normandy & his mistress Herlève --- (Château de Falaise, Normandy [1027/28]-Rouen, Prioré de Saint-Gervais 9 Sep 1087, bur Caen, Abbé de Saint-Etienne).  Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Roberto Duce...Willelmum filium suum” was born “apud Falesiam”[1].  His birth date is estimated from William of Malmesbury, according to whom Guillaume was born of a concubine and was seven years old when his father left for Jerusalem[2], and Orderic Vitalis, who states that he was eight years old at the time[3].  Deville suggests that Guillaume’s birthdate can be fixed more precisely to [mid-1027], taking into account that his father Robert occupied Falaise immediately after the death of his father Duke Richard II (23 Aug 1026), not wishing to accept the authority of his older brother Duke Richard III, but that Robert’s stay was short as the two brothers were reconciled soon after, it being reasonable to suppose that Robert’s relationship with Guillaume’s mother occurred soon after his arrival at Falaise[4].  According to Orderic Vitalis, Alain III Duke of Brittany was appointed his guardian during his father's absence in 1035[5].  He succeeded his father in 1035 as GUILLAUME II Duke of Normandy.  He helped Henri I King of France defeat Geoffroy II "Martel" Comte d'Anjou at Mouliherne in [1045/55][6].  It appears that Edward "the Confessor" King of England acknowledged Guillaume as successor to the English throne on several occasions, maybe for the first time during his visit to England in 1051 which is recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle[7].  Comte de Maine in 1063, after he conquered the county.  In [1064/65], Duke Guillaume interceded with Guy de Ponthieu Comte d'Abbeville to secure the release of Harold, son of Godwin, from captivity in Normandy, in return for Harold's acknowledgement of Guillaume as successor to the English crown (according to the portrayal of the event in the Bayeux tapestry).  Harold's visit to Normandy, and swearing allegiance to Duke William, is recorded by William of Jumièges[8].  According to Eadmer of Canterbury, the reason for his visit was to negotiate the release of his brother Wulfnoth and nephew Haakon, both of whom had been hostages in Normandy since 1051.  On his deathbed, King Edward "the Confessor" bequeathed the kingdom of England to Harold.  Duke Guillaume branded Harold a perjurer and appealed to Pope Alexander II for support.  After receiving a papal banner in response to his request, William gathered a sizable army during summer 1066 in preparation for invasion.  After some delay due to unfavourable weather conditions, the army set sail for England from Saint-Valéry-sur-Somme 28 Sep 1066[9].  William defeated and killed King Harold at Hastings 14 Oct 1066[10], marched north to Canterbury, then west to Winchester where he captured the royal treasury.  He proceeded to London where he was crowned 25 Dec 1066 as WILLIAM I "the Conqueror" King of England at Westminster Abbey, possibly by Ealdred Archbishop of York who may have officiated because of doubts concerning the validity of the appointment of Stigand as Archbishop of Canterbury.  The latter had received his pallium in 1058 from Pope Benedict X, later regarded as anti-Pope, an appointment which had not been regularised by Pope Alexander II.  Orderic Vitalis records that King William was crowned again at Winchester by “cardinales Romanæ ecclesiæ...Alexander papa...vicarious: Ermenfredum pontificem Sedunorum et duos canonicos cardinales”, dated to 1070[11].

m (Eu, Cathedral of Notre Dame [1050/52]) MATHILDE de Flandre, daughter of BAUDOUIN V "le Pieux/Insulanus" Count of Flanders & his wife Adela de France ([1032]-Caen 2 Nov 1083, bur Caen, Abbey of Holy Trinity). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names (in order) "Balduinum Haanoniensem, et Rodbertum cognomento postea Iherosolimitanum, et Matilde uxorem Guillelmi regis Anglorum" as the children of "Balduinum Insulanum [et] Adelam"[16]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Duke Guillaume married “Balduinum Flandriæ comitem...filiam regali ex genere descendente...Mathilde”[17]. Orderic Vitalis records the marriage of “Willermus Normanniæ dux” and “Mathildem Balduini ducis Flandrensium filiam, neptem...ex sorore Henrici regis Francorum”[18]. She founded the abbey of la Trinité at Caen, as confirmed by an undated manuscript which records the death "pridie nonas julias" of "abbatissam Mathildem" in the 54th year in which she held the position and names "Mathildem Anglorum reginam, nostri cœnobii fondatricem, Adilidem, Mathildem, Constantiam, filias eius" heading the list of the names of nuns at the abbey[19]. Her husband appointed Mathilde as his regent in Normandy when he left to invade England, and again after he returned to England after visiting Normandy in 1067: Orderic Vitalis records that, when King William returned to England, 6 Dec 1067, he appointed “Mathildi conjugi suæ filioque suo Rodberto adolescenti” to govern Normandy (“principatum Neustriæ”), adding that the king took with him “Rogerium de Monte-Gomerici” whom he had appointed as “tutorem Normanniæ...cum sua conjuge” when he had left for England for the first time[20]. Florence of Worcester records that "comitissa Mahtilda de Normannia" came to England 23 Mar [1068] and was crowned "die Pentecostes [11 May]" by Aldred Archbishop of York[21]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Mathildem conjugem suam” came to England in 1068 and was crowned queen “die Pentecostes anno II regni præfati regis” by the archbishop of York[22]. Orderic Vitalis records that King William sent “Mathildem” back to Normandy in light of the rebellions in England and to preserve intact “provinciæ...cum Rodberto puero” [referring to their eldest son], dated to 1069[23]. The necrology of the abbey of Saint-Denis records the death "IV Non Nov" of "Matildis Anglorum regina"[24]. Orderic Vitalis records the death “III Non Nov” [1083] of “Mathildis regina Anglorum” and her burial “cœnobium Sanctæ Trinitatis...apud Cadomum”[25]. Florence of Worcester records the death "IV Non Nov" in [1083] of "regina Mahtilda" in Normandy and her burial at Caen[26].
