She was a prisoner taken in Britany, she never married William, but later married a Norman named Asperleng, also having at least one son by him. -- Todd Farmerie
Sprota is discussed in "Poppa of Bayeux and her Family" by K. S. B. Keats-Rohan, _The American Genealogist_, vol. 72, nos. 3-4, July/October 1997. On page 193, she says, "It may be that Richard I's mother was a noble Breton of the family of Alan Barbetorte, captured during William's vengeful campaign in Brittany in 931-33. The birth of Richard a few years later perhaps helps to explain both the timing of Athelstan's approach to William and the softening of William's attitude to Alan.Curt Hofemann, in a post-em, indicates many people have doubts about Sprota's noble birth: Sprota [Ref: ES III:694A] note: I have numerous notes on her (lack of) ancestry which I think I've previously provided. If I've not, let me know & I will gladly share them... Curt
Raoul/Rudolf/Ralph, count of Ivry, is the uterine brother of Richard I of Normandy, son of William. ("This was given by Dudo based on information supplied to him by Raoul himself, so is perfectly reliable", as Todd's mentioned.) But my understanding has always been that Raoul was the son of Sprota/Esporta de Bretagne/Senlis not by William Longsword but by Asperling/Esperlingus/Eperling. [Ref: Christopher Nash message to Gen-Medieval 15 Apr 2002 discussing an error in KSB Keats-Rohan's Domesday People. TAF (Todd A Farmerie) in response confirmed the above] note: she was NOT de Senlis and as far as "de Bretagne" see below... Curt
While this speculation is certainly possible, the alternative is likewise possible, that being that she was just some cute looking Breton peasant that William took a liking to. That, however, provides no opportunity for further genealogical research, so tends to pale in comparison to the possibility of attaching her to some noble house. My gut reaction is that, considering her son Ralph (d'Ivry) was one of the main sources of the norman historian Dudo, yet no such important connection was mentioned, she likely did not have any hereditary recomendations (sic) when chosen by Longsword.

#Générale##Générale#de Senlis, 1ʻ femme de Guillaume I Longue-épée de Normandie
s:hg81.263

{geni:about_me} This is Sprota de Senlis or de Bretagne: do not confuse with Sprote de Bourgogne, possible partner of Bernard 'the Dane'. This Sprota was partner of William Longsword, Count of Rouen and ruler of Normandy; later she married Asperling de Vaudreuil.

'''Sprota''' or '''Sprote'''. Her parentage is conjectural. She is traditionally said to have been a daughter of Herbert, Count of Senlis & Vermandois. She was said by Flodoard to have been from Brittany, which might mean that she was of Celtic, Scandinavian or Frankish origin. Her name suggests the latter. Also sometimes called Adela.

Sprota 'Adela' de Bretagne de Senlis (c.911 - 945)

Concubine, wife, or partner to William 'Longsword' (Langaspjót, called Guillaume Longe-Épée in French) son of Rollo and 2nd ruler of Normandy, Count of Rouen.

Mother to Richard 'Sans-Peur' and Raoul d'Ivry.

Remarried Asperling or Esperleng, several children (see below)

http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/NORMAN%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc243182165

Sprota was married to William I of Normandy, ruler of Normandy. Her son Richard the first was still a boy when his father died in 942. Sprota 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; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard's half-brother.

Sprota was NOT married to Nigel St. Saveur.

Do NOT confuse with Sprote de Bourgogne who was married to Bernard "the Dane" Harcourt.

-------------------

[Several people have entered Sprota to Geni as "Adela", but this is probably wrong. Please enter sources if any.]

--------------------

Sprota married Esperleng after the relationship with Guillaume/William:

(from Medieval Lands)

SPROTA, daughter of ---.

Guillaume de Jumièges records that Guillaume married "une très-noble jeune fille Sprota…selon l'usage des Danois"[62]. From Brittany.

It is possible that Sprota was Count Guillaume's concubine rather than wife, particularly as no reference has been found to a dissolution of any marriage before she married Esperleng.

She married Esperleng de Pîtres, by whom she had Rodulf [Raoul] Comte d'Ivry.

ESPERLENG de Pîtres, son of --- .

m SPROTA, daughter of --- . From Brittany. Sprota was previously the concubine or wife of Guillaume I Comte [de Normandie].

Guillaume de Jumièges records the marriage of Sprota and "Asperleng" who owned the mills in the valley of la Risle[730].

Esperling & his wife had [four or more] children:

a) RAOUL d'Ivry (-after 1011). Guillaume de Jumièges names Raoul as uterine brother of Richard Comte [de Normandie], specifying that the latter consulted him about arrangements for the succession in Normandy when dying[731]. Comte de Bayeux.

m AUBREE, daughter of --- (-murdered ----). Guillaume de Jumièges records the marriage of Raoul and "Eranberge…née dans une certaine terre du pays de Caux que l'on appelle Caville ou Cacheville"[732]. She is named as wife of Raoul by Orderic Vitalis, who says that she built the castle of Ivry, executed the architect Lanfred to prevent him from completing a similar construction elsewhere, attempted to expel her husband from the castle, and was killed by him[733].

Comte Raoul & his wife had five children:

i) HUGUES d'Ivry (-Oct 1049).

Guillaume de Jumièges names Hugues bishop of Bayeux as son of comte Raoul, when recording that the castle of Ivry was confiscated from him by Robert II Duke of Normandy[734]. Seigneur d'Ivry. Bishop of Bayeux 1015.

Hugues had [two] illegitimate children by an unknown mistress or mistresses:

(a) ROGER .

"Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius" sold land in Blovilla and Novillula to Sainte-Trinité in an undated charter[735].

m ODA, daughter of ---. "Odain uxore sua" is named in the undated charter of "Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius"[736]. Roger & his wife had two children:

(1) GUILLAUME .

"Willelmo et Hugone eorum filiis" are named in the undated charter of "Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius"[737]. "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi" purchased land from "Rodulfus de Warenna" dated 1074[738].

(2) HUGUES .

"Willelmo et Hugone eorum filiis" are named in the undated charter of "Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius"[739].

(b) [AUBREE .

Chibnall speculates that the grandmother of Ascelin Goël may have been the daughter of Hugues Bishop of Bayeux, which may have provided her grandson with a claim to Ivry by inheritance[740], assuming that her illegitimacy presented no obstacle. Her two marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[741], but the primary sources which confirm them have not yet been identified.

m firstly ROBERT d'Ivry, son of ---. [1060].

m secondly ALBERT de Cravent .]

ii) EMMA d'Ivry . Guillaume de Jumièges records that one of the daughters of Raoul & his wife married Osbern de Crepon[742]. After her husband died, she became abbess of St Amand at Rouen[743].

m OSBERN de Crepon, son of HERFAST & his wife --- (-murdered [1040]).

iii) daughter .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that the other (unnamed) daughter of Raoul & his wife married Richard de Belfage, naming their son Robert and recording that one of their several daughters married Hugues de Montfort[744].

m RICHARD de Beaufour, son of ---.

Richard & his wife had [four or more] children:

(a) ROBERT .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that the other (unnamed) daughter of Raoul & his wife married Richard de Belfage, naming their son Robert and recording that one of their several daughters married Hugues de Montfort[745].

(b) daughter .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that the wife of "Hugues le second…[fils de] Hugues de Montfort dit le Barbu" was "la fille de Richard de Belfage"[746]. m as his first wife, HUGUES [II] de Montfort, son of HUGUES [I] de Montfort-sur-Risle & his wife --- (-1088 or after).

(c) daughters .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that the other (unnamed) daughter of Raoul & his wife married Richard de Belfage, naming their son Robert and recording that one of their several daughters married Hugues de Montfort[747].

iv) RAOUL d'Ivry (-after [1020/30]).

"Hugo Baiocassine urbis episcopus et Rodulfi quondam comitis filius" donated property to Jumièges by charter dated to [1020/30][748]. It is assumed that the donors were brothers although this is not certain.

v) JEAN d'Ivry (-1079). Brother of Hugues, according to Orderic Vitalis[749]. Bishop of Avranches 1061.

The Chronicon S. Stephani Cadomensis records that "Joannes filius Rodulfi comitis fratris Ricardi" succeeded as Archbishop of Rouen in 1069, having been bishop of Avranches for seven years and three months; the same source records the death in 1079 of "Joannes Rothomag. Archiepiscopus"[750].

b) daughters .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that Asperleng & Sprota had several daughters "qui dans la suite furent mariées en Normandie avec des nobles"[751].

--------------------

Sprota 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; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard I's half-brother.

--------------------

Regarding Sporta:

William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Scandinavian: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót; 893 – 17 December 942) was the second Duke of Normandy from his father's death until his own assassination. The title dux (duke) was not in use at the time and has been applied to early Norman rulers retroactively; William actually used the title comes (count).

Little is known about his early years. He was born in Bayeux or Rouen to Rollo and his wife Poppa. All that is known of Poppa is that she was a Christian, and the daughter to Berengar of Rennes, the previous lord of Brittania Nova, which eventually became western Normandy. According to the William's planctus, he was baptised a Christian.

William succeeded Rollo sometime around 927. It appears that he faced a rebellion early in his reign, from Normans who felt he had become too Gallicised. Subsequent years are obscure. In 939 William became involved in a war with Arnulf I of Flanders, which soon became intertwined with the other conflicts troubling the reign of Louis IV. He was killed by followers of Arnulf while at a meeting to settle their conflict. His son Richard the Fearless, child of his first wife, Sprota, succeeded him. William also left a widow, Liègard (Liutgard), who died in 985.

Sprota was the name of a Breton captive who William I, Duke of Normandy took as a wife in the Viking fashion and by her had a son, Richard I, Duke of Normandy. After the death of her husband William, she became the wife of Esperleng and mother of Rodulf of Ivry.

Called a Breton concubine by Flodoard [s.a. 943: "Rex Ludowicus filio ipsius Willelmi, nato de concubina Britanna, terram Nortmannorum dedit; ..." (clearly referring to Richard), MGH SS 3, 389, van Houts (2000), 47], she was first given a name by William of Jumièges [GND iii, 2 (vol. 1, 78-9)], who, writing in the second half of the eleventh century, stated that she was bound to William by the Danish custom ("... Danico more iuncta, nomine Sprota ...").

Although the name "Sprota" gives us a convenient name to refer to the mother of Richard I, the unusual form of the name and the lateness of the source (more than 100 years later) make it uncertain that her name has been correctly reported, hence the above use of quotes

Sporte Senlis De Bretagne (Sporte Senlis De De Normandy)

Sporte Senlis De Bretagne was born on June 21, 911 in Bretagne, France, The Daughter of Heribert I De Vermandois and Senlis.

Sporte Senlis De Bretagne married William Longsword De Normandy.

Sporte Senlis De Bretagne had 2 children. Their names are Godfrey Ginbe Beulac, and Richard I De Normandy.

Sporte Senlis De Normandy (nee De Bretagne) passed away on March 09, 940 in Normandy, France.

Sprota was married to William I of Normandy, ruler of Normandy. Her son Richard the first was still a boy when his father died in 942. Sprota 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; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard's half-brother.

Sprota was NOT married to Nigel St. Saveur.

Do NOT confuse with Sprote de Bourgogne who was married to Bernard "the Dane" Harcourt.

[Several people have entered Sprota to Geni as "Adela", but this is probably wrong. Please enter sources if any.]

Sprota married Esperleng after the relationship with Guillaume/William:

(from Medieval Lands)

SPROTA, daughter of ---.

Guillaume de Jumièges records that Guillaume married "une très-noble jeune fille Sprota…selon l'usage des Danois"[62]. From Brittany.

It is possible that Sprota was Count Guillaume's concubine rather than wife, particularly as no reference has been found to a dissolution of any marriage before she married Esperleng.

She married Esperleng de Pîtres, by whom she had Rodulf [Raoul] Comte d'Ivry.

ESPERLENG de Pîtres, son of --- .

m SPROTA, daughter of --- . From Brittany. Sprota was previously the concubine or wife of Guillaume I Comte [de Normandie].

Guillaume de Jumièges records the marriage of Sprota and "Asperleng" who owned the mills in the valley of la Risle[730].

Esperling & his wife had [four or more] children:

a) RAOUL d'Ivry (-after 1011). Guillaume de Jumièges names Raoul as uterine brother of Richard Comte [de Normandie], specifying that the latter consulted him about arrangements for the succession in Normandy when dying[731]. Comte de Bayeux.

m AUBREE, daughter of --- (-murdered ----). Guillaume de Jumièges records the marriage of Raoul and "Eranberge…née dans une certaine terre du pays de Caux que l'on appelle Caville ou Cacheville"[732]. She is named as wife of Raoul by Orderic Vitalis, who says that she built the castle of Ivry, executed the architect Lanfred to prevent him from completing a similar construction elsewhere, attempted to expel her husband from the castle, and was killed by him[733].

Comte Raoul & his wife had five children:

i) HUGUES d'Ivry (-Oct 1049).

Guillaume de Jumièges names Hugues bishop of Bayeux as son of comte Raoul, when recording that the castle of Ivry was confiscated from him by Robert II Duke of Normandy[734]. Seigneur d'Ivry. Bishop of Bayeux 1015.

Hugues had [two] illegitimate children by an unknown mistress or mistresses:

(a) ROGER .

"Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius" sold land in Blovilla and Novillula to Sainte-Trinité in an undated charter[735].

m ODA, daughter of ---. "Odain uxore sua" is named in the undated charter of "Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius"[736]. Roger & his wife had two children:

(1) GUILLAUME .

"Willelmo et Hugone eorum filiis" are named in the undated charter of "Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius"[737]. "Guillelmo filio Rogerii filii Hugonis episcopi" purchased land from "Rodulfus de Warenna" dated 1074[738].

(2) HUGUES .

"Willelmo et Hugone eorum filiis" are named in the undated charter of "Rogerius Hugonis episcopi filius"[739].

(b) [AUBREE .

Her two marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[741], but the primary sources which confirm them have not yet been identified.

m firstly ROBERT d'Ivry, son of ---. [1060].

Richard & his wife had [four or more] children:

(a) ROBERT .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that the other (unnamed) daughter of Raoul & his wife married Richard de Belfage, naming their son Robert and recording that one of their several daughters married Hugues de Montfort[745].

"Hugo Baiocassine urbis episcopus et Rodulfi quondam comitis filius" donated property to Jumièges by charter dated to [1020/30][748]. It is assumed that the donors were brothers although this is not certain.

v) JEAN d'Ivry (-1079). Brother of Hugues, according to Orderic Vitalis[749]. Bishop of Avranches 1061.

The Chronicon S. Stephani Cadomensis records that "Joannes filius Rodulfi comitis fratris Ricardi" succeeded as Archbishop of Rouen in 1069, having been bishop of Avranches for seven years and three months; the same source records the death in 1079 of "Joannes Rothomag. Archiepiscopus"[750].

b) daughters .

Guillaume de Jumièges records that Asperleng & Sprota had several daughters "qui dans la suite furent mariées en Normandie avec des nobles"[751].

Sprota 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; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard I's half-brother.

Regarding Sporta:

William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Scandinavian: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót; 893 – 17 December 942) was the second Duke of Normandy from his father's death until his own assassination. The title dux (duke) was not in use at the time and has been applied to early Norman rulers retroactively; William actually used the title comes (count).

Little is known about his early years. He was born in Bayeux or Rouen to Rollo and his wife Poppa. All that is known of Poppa is that she was a Christian, and the daughter to Berengar of Rennes, the previous lord of Brittania Nova, which eventually became western Normandy. According to the William's planctus, he was baptised a Christian.

William succeeded Rollo sometime around 927. It appears that he faced a rebellion early in his reign, from Normans who felt he had become too Gallicised. Subsequent years are obscure. In 939 William became involved in a war with Arnulf I of Flanders, which soon became intertwined with the other conflicts troubling the reign of Louis IV. He was killed by followers of Arnulf while at a meeting to settle their conflict. His son Richard the Fearless, child of his first wife, Sprota, succeeded him. William also left a widow, Liègard (Liutgard), who died in 985.

She eventually married William Longsword but it seems had her children by him before that.
Died either in Normandel, Orne, Basse-Normandie, France or Kerlouan, Finistere, Bretagne, France
Called a Breton concubine by Flodoard [s.a. 943: "Rex Ludowicus filio ipsius Willelmi, nato de concubina Britanna, terram Nortmannorum dedit; ..." (clearly referring to Richard), MGH SS 3, 389, van Houts (2000), 47], she was first given a name by William of Jumièges [GND iii, 2 (vol. 1, 78-9)], who, writing in the second half of the eleventh century, stated that she was bound to William by the Danish custom ("... Danico more iuncta, nomine Sprota ...").
Although the name "Sprota" gives us a convenient name to refer to the mother of Richard I, the unusual form of the name and the lateness of the source (more than 100 years later) make it uncertain that her name has been correctly reported, hence the above use of quotes

Guillaume de Jumièges records that the wife of "Hugues le second…[fils de] Hugues de Montfort dit le Barbu" was "la fille de Richard de Belfage"[746]. m as his first wife, HUGUES [II] de Montfort, son of HUGUES [I] de Montfort-sur-Risle & his wife --- (-1088 or after).

(c) daughters .

"Hugo Baiocassine urbis episcopus et Rodulfi quondam comitis filius" donated property to Jumièges by charter dated to [1020/30][748]. It is assumed that the donors were brothers although this is not certain.

The Chronicon S. Stephani Cadomensis records that "Joannes filius Rodulfi comitis fratris Ricardi" succeeded as Archbishop of Rouen in 1069, having been bishop of Avranches for seven years and three months; the same source records the death in 1079 of "Joannes Rothomag. Archiepiscopus"[750].

Sprota 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; Rodulf of Ivry was their son and Richard I's half-brother.

Regarding Sporta:

William I Longsword (French: Guillaume Longue-Épée, Latin: Willermus Longa Spata, Scandinavian: Vilhjálmr Langaspjót; 893 – 17 December 942) was the second Duke of Normandy from his father's death until his own assassination. The title dux (duke) was not in use at the time and has been applied to early Norman rulers retroactively; William actually used the title comes (count).

Little is known about his early years. He was born in Bayeux or Rouen to Rollo and his wife Poppa. All that is known of Poppa is that she was a Christian, and the daughter to Berengar of Rennes, the previous lord of Brittania Nova, which eventually became western Normandy. According to the William's planctus, he was baptised a Christian.

William succeeded Rollo sometime around 927. It appears that he faced a rebellion early in his reign, from Normans who felt he had become too Gallicised. Subsequent years are obscure. In 939 William became involved in a war with Arnulf I of Flanders, which soon became intertwined with the other conflicts troubling the reign of Louis IV. He was killed by followers of Arnulf while at a meeting to settle their conflict. His son Richard the Fearless, child of his first wife, Sprota, succeeded him. William also left a widow, Liègard (Liutgard), who died in 985.

Ref: http://www.robertsewell.ca/normandy.html Sprota was the name of a Breton captive who William I, Duke of Normandy took as a wife in the Viking fashion and by her had a son, Richard I, Duke of Normandy. After the death of her husband William, she became the wife of Esperleng and mother of Rodulf of Ivry. Sprota was married to William I of Normandy, ruler of Normandy. Her son Richard the first was still a boy when his father died in 942. Sprota was a Breton concubine captured in war and bound to William by a Danish marriage. Sprota was married to William I of Normandy, ruler of Normandy. Her son Richard the first was still a boy when his father died in 942. Sprota was a Breton concubine captured in war and bound to William by a Danish marriage. She eventually married William Longsword but it seems had her children by him before that. Died either in Normandel, Orne, Basse-Normandie, France or Kerlouan, Finistere, Bretagne, France Called a Breton concubine by Flodoard [s.a. 943: "Rex Ludowicus filio ipsius Willelmi, nato de concubina Britanna, terram Nortmannorum dedit; ..."

Danico more iuncta, nomine Sprota ..."). Although the name "Sprota" gives us a convenient name to refer to the mother of Richard I, the unusual form of the name and the lateness of the source (more than 100 years later) make it uncertain that her name has been correctly reported, hence the above use of quotes
