"Robert de Torigny, writing after the Norman Conquest, recorded the genealogical traditions which tied many of the Norman nobility to the family of Gunnor, first mistress of Richard I, then Duchess of Normandy.

Senfria (Seinfreda) was wife of the (unnamed) forester from the area of St. Vaast d'Equiqueville."
