Notities over Gunnor Gunnora "Gundra" de Crépon Duchesse de Normandie

==========

Gunnora, Duchess of Normandy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunnora or Gunnor (c. 936–1031) was the wife and consort of Richard I of Normandy. Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herefast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

She was living with her sister Seinfreda, the wife of a local forester, when Richard passed by hunting. He is said to have approached Seinfreda with amorous intentions, but the lady rejected his advance, suggesting that her unmarried sister Gunnor might prove more receptive. They became lovers, Gunnor first acting as his mistress and eventually marrying him.

They were parents to six children:

* Richard II "the Good", Duke of Normandy (966)
* Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, Count of Evreux, died 1037.
* Mauger, Earl of Corbeil, died after 1033; his alleged grandson (or perhaps great-grandson) was Robert Fitz Hamon, an important Anglo-Norman baron.
* Robert Danus, died between 985 and 989
* Emma of Normandy (c. 985-1052) wife of two kings of England.
* Maud of Normandy, wife of Odo II of Blois, Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres

Gunnor skal først ha vært Richard I's elskerinne, hvilket synes tvilsomt.
Hun ble etter Emmas død ca. 968 gift med Richard, antagelig kort tid etter 968.
Hun var en meget begavet kvinne med mange fortreffelige egenskaper og av en ansett
slekt. Man kjenner en bror Herfast og tre søstre, Sainfria, Weiwa og Awelina. Hun viste stor
klokskap i verdslige anliggender, var veltalende, hadde en god hukommelse og viste stor
interesse for sin slekts historie.

"Lady of Denmark"
Richard's third wife.

Gunnora, Duchess of Normandy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gunnora or Gunnor (c. 936–1031) was the wife and consort of Richard I of Normandy. Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herefast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

She was living with her sister Seinfreda, the wife of a local forester, when Richard passed by hunting. He is said to have approached Seinfreda with amorous intentions, but the lady rejected his advance, suggesting that her unmarried sister Gunnor might prove more receptive. They became lovers, Gunnor first acting as his mistress and eventually marrying him.

They were parents to six children:

Richard II "the Good", Duke of Normandy (966)
Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, Count of Evreux, died 1037.
Mauger, Earl of Corbeil, died after 1033; his alleged grandson (or perhaps great-grandson) was Robert Fitz Hamon, an important Anglo-Norman baron.
Robert Danus, died between 985 and 989
Emma of Normandy (c. 985-1052) wife of two kings of England.
Maud of Normandy, wife of Odo II of Blois, Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres

Gunnor was the daughter of the forester of Arques.

Note for: Gunnor Of Crepon, ABT. 946 - 1031
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. He reported the tradition that Richard had become infatuated with the wife of one of his foresters, Senfria, but being the pious wife, she substituted her sister Gunnor, much to everyone's satisfaction. He proceded to name the siblings of Gunnor, and also indicated the she had numerous nieces, who are left unnamed, but whose marriages and descendants are provided.

Roots: (Danish wife) Gunnor, died 1027 or 1031, daughter of forester
of Arques.
K. calls her Gonnor de Crepon. Norr: Gunnor (Gunora), (952)-1031.
Onslow in "The Dukes of Normandy and Their Orgin" says:
Richard I heard about a charming woman married to the superintendent of
forests at Secheville near Arques. Richard visited Secheville, met the
forester's beautiful wife, Sainfrida, and "had the impudence to suggest
to her husband that he should be allowed to make her better acquaintance.
"The poor man was much perturbed and went in trouble to his wife. The lady
had no mind to become the mistress of the Duke, but her morals were not so
rigid as to prevent her from making capital our of the situation for her
family. Sainfrida had three sisters, Gunnor, Adelina and Veva (Wevia), and a
brother named Herfast. Gunnor was a very pretty girl and by no means
particular. Sainfrida told her husband to pretend to fall in with the Duke's
proposals and give Richard facilities to pay her a visit. But when Richard
arrived, Gunnor took Sainfrida's place. The Duke did not discover the trick
until the following day; but so delighted was he with Gunnor that not only did
he forgive Sainfrida, but thanked her for having saved him from mortal sin! The
result was that Gunnor became his wife by Danish custom and eventually the
mother of a numerous family, the eldest of which was Richard II of Normandy."
Gunnor apparently had children by Richard before they were married and before
his marriage to Emma. Evidently the Richard-Gunnor union was legitimized later.
RC 166 says Gunnor's father was Herbastus de Crepon, Forester of Arques (in
Denmark). Were there two foresters, the father of Gunnor and Sainfrida and also
the husband of Sainfrida? Or did the story become tangled over the years?
Coe spells name Gunore.
Davis: Gonnor, daughter of a forester of Sauqueville in Britanny. Second
wife of Richard I. She married (2) Eperleng, "farmer" of the mills of Pitres.

Note:
Gunnor was Danish, the daughter of the forester of Arques. Although Richard married her, he had been betrothed about 945 to Emma, daughter of Hugh Capet, Count of Paris. He married Emma in 960. After Emma's death about 968, he married Gunnor in a Christian marriage in order to legitimatize their children. "Robert de Torigny and the family of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy", by Todd A. Farmerie [Modified from an article which appeared in Dec 1996 on soc.genealogy.medieval]

There have been many requests for information on the various Norman relationships compiled by Robert de Torigny. This is an attempt to summarize and harmonize several recent works on some of the lines: Elisabeth M C van Houts. Robert of Torigni as Genealogist. in Studies in Medieval History presented to R. Allen Brown, p.215-33; Kathleen Thompson. The Norman Aristocracy before 1066: the Example of the Montgomerys. in Historical Research 60:251-63; and K S B Keats-Rohan. Aspects of Torigny's Genealogy Revisited. in Nottingham Medieval Studies 37:21-7.

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. He reported the tradition that Richard had become infatuated with the wife of one of his foresters, but being the pious wife, she substituted her sister Gunnor, much to everyone's satisfaction. He proceded to name the siblings of Gunnor, and also indicated the she had numerous nieces, who are left unnamed, but whose marriages and descendants are provided.

The genealogical information contained in his account has at various times been praised and condemned, but recent opinion seems to favor the view that, while minor errors abound, the genealogies accurately represent a tradition of shared descent that may account for the rapid rise of these nobles.

The parentage of Gunnor and her siblings is unknown. While some sources call her father Herfastus, this was in fact the name of her brother. She has also been claimed as daughter of the Danish royal family, but there is no evidence for this, and the context of her coming to the attention of Richard I and the family's subsequent rise to power militates against her being a royal daughter. Douglas argued (in a 1944 English Historical Review article on the family of William Fitz Osbern), based on the donations of brother Arfast to the monastery of St. Pere, that the root of the family was in the Cotetin region of Normandy, but van Houts has suggested that the Cotetin land was granted to Arfast, rather than inherited by him. Thus we are left with the more ambiguous statements of Torigny and others that she was a member of a Norman family of Danish origins.

The only known brother of Gunnor was Arfast/Herfast, of whom we gain what little insight we have from a trial of heretics conducted by King Robert II of France. Arfast testified that he had pretended to join the sect, all the better to denounce them when the time arose. He later donated lands to the monastery of St. Pere, to which he retired. He had at least two sons: Osbern, who was steward to the later Dukes, and was murdered by William de Montgomery while defending the young Duke William; and Ranulf, known from charters. Osbern maried a niece of Richard I (the daughter of his half-brother) and by her was the father of the Conquest baron William Fitz Osbern.

Gunnor had at least three sisters, of which the oldest appears to have been Senfria (Seinfreda), who was wife of the (unnamed) forester from the area of St. Vaast d'Equiqueville, and it was her charms which are said first to have attracted the attentions Duke Richard I. She appears to have had at least one daughter, Joscelina, wife of Hugh de Montgomery. (Torigny makes Joscelina daughter of another sister, Wevia, but a contemporary of Torigny, in demonstrating the genealogical impediment to a marriage of a bastard of Henry I to a Montgomery descendant specifically calls Joscelina's mother Senfria, and the inheritance by the Montgomerys of large holdings suggests that Joscelina was a significant coheiress to her parents, which does not match Wevia's family where the two sons would be expected to acquire most of the family land.) Hugh de Montgomery and Joscelina had a son Roger, but contrary to Torigny's statements, he was not the Conquest baron of that name, but instead his father. By a wife possibly named Emma, Roger had: Hugh; Roger (who married Mabel of Belleme and played a significant role in pre-Conquest Normandy); William (who murdered cousin Osbern); Robert, and Gilbert.

Duvelina, a second sister of Gunnor, married Turulf de Pont Audemer, son of a Norman founder Torf, and uncle of the first of the Harcourts. They had at least one son, Humphrey de Vielles, who in turn was father of Roger de Beaumont, another Conquest-era baron.

Wevia, the only other sister of Gunnor named by Torigny, married Osbern de Bolbec (who is otherwise unknown to history). They had at least two sons: Walter Giffard, ancestor of the English Giffard/Gifford families, and also, through a daughter, of the Clare family; and Godfrey, whose son William de Arques had two daughters and co-heiresses.

Torigny indicates that Gunnor had numerous nieces, naming the descendants of several of them, but usually not naming the nieces themselves or their parents. As has already been seen with niece Joscelina, the accounts of these families are more difficult to harmonize with other available sources.

One niece is said to have married Nicholas de Bracqueville, and to have had William Martel and Walter de St. Martin. As to Martel, there seems to have been a connection to Bracqueville, since Hawise, daughter of Nicholas married Hugh de Wareham, son of a Grippo. Hugh had a brother Geoffrey Martel, but beyond this no recent analysis provides any insight as to the descent of the later Martels. Walter de St. Martin is even more of a problem, since elsewhere Torigny incorrectly makes him brother of William de Warenne, but the ancestry given there is clearly false. Thus it is not clear that Torigny knew the exact connection of Walter, and there is no evidence to help clarify his true origins.

A second niece is said to have married Richard, vicomte of Rouen (who was son of Tesselin). He had a son Lambert of St. Saens, whose son Helias married a bastard daughter of Robert II of Normandy. (If the connection here given is correct, then these two were within the prohibited degree, which may throw doubt on the relationship, or simply suggest that the relationship did not come to light at the time.) Based on later interactions between Montgomery and Warenne (thought to be related to this branch) it has been speculated that this niece was sister of Joscelina, which is possible but unsupported.

It appears to be through this family that the relationship of two more Norman barons come into play, but not exactly as Torigny presents it. He shows yet another niece marrying Ranulph de Warenne, and by him having William de Warenne and Roger de Mortimer. This is clearly untrue, because Roger appears to have been a generation older than William. The solution appears to be that Torigny (as he had done with the Montgomerys) compressed two people, a father and son of the same name, into one individual. Ranulph de Warenne (I) appears to have married Beatrice, sister of Richard, vicomte of Rouen, and thus sister-in-law of one of Gunnor's nieces (thus it would appear th

[Tom Bjornstad, ] .. Gunnor is variation of
Gunnvor..
[R. Leutner, Soc.Medieval] I would like to know if there is a
genealogical consensus, whether it is Icelandic, Norse, or English, as to
the parentage and siblings of Gunnor / Gunnora, wife of Richard I, Duke
of Normandy. Eleanor Searle, Predatory Kinship and the Creation of
Norman Power, 840-1066 , a title that says it all (UCAl Press, 1988),
does not name Gunnor's parents for her own reasons, but we don't
necessarily have to buy them; but here is her list of Gunnor(a) and
siblings:
GUNNOR=Richard I>ducal line (Normandy). SISTER=Thorold of
Pont-Audemer>Humphrey de Vielles>Beaumonts Warwick, Leicester, etc.)
SISTER=Osbern of Bolbec>Walter Giffard et al. (incl. Clare, earls of
Hertford, Pembroke, etc.)
HERFAST (brother)>Osbern=Emma (da. of Rodulf)>William fitz Osbern, earl
of Hereford>lords of Breteuil, Ballon; and Bishop Osbern f. Osbern of
Exeter.
SIBLING>Gunnor's niece>Warenne, Earls of Surrey, and Mortimer, of
Wigmore. SISTER>Gunnor's niece=Roger of Montgomery>MONTGOMERY.
SIBLING>Gunnor's niece=Keeper of Vernon. SIBLING>Gunnor's niece=Vicomte
of Rouen. Who were the parents of this illustrious brood? Is Gunnor's
family wholly fabulous, or can it be claimed in a genealogical way? I
can live without her, but it would be nice to take on Thorold's and
Osbern's wives and whatever parentage they might share with Gunnor, and
others might be happy to have clear title to these other siblings.

MEDIEVAL LANDS

Chapter 1. EARLY NORMAN FAMILIES of VIKING ORIGIN

A. FAMILY of GUNNORA, mistress of RICHARD I Comte de NORMANDIE

Four sisters and one brother, parents not known, presumably of Viking origin:

1. SAINSFRIDA [Senfrie] . She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[3]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Seufriam" as sister of "Gunnor uxor…Richardi Normannis ducem"[4]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that "la femme d'un sien forestier…Sainfrie" rejected the advances of Richard I Comte [de Normandie] and sent her sister Gunnor to his bed in her place[5]. m ---. The name of Sainsfrida's husband is not known. Sainsfrida and her husband had one child:

a) JOSCELINE . The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Iosceline" as daughter of "Seufriam"[6]. Josceline, her husband and her mother are named in a letter of Ives Bishop of Chartres to Henry I King of England dated 1114 which explains the consanguinity between the king and Hugues de Châteauneuf, who wanted to marry one of the king's illegitimate daughters[7]. m ROGER [I] Seigneur de Montgommery, son of ---.

2. GUNNORA ([950]-5 Jan 1031).

She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[8]. It appears from Dudo de Saint-Quentin and Robert de Torigny[9] that Gunnora was Richard I's mistress before she married him. According to William of Jumièges, she was "of noble Danish origin"[10].

According to Robert de Torigny, the marriage took place to legitimise Richard and Gunnora's son Robert to permit his appointment as Bishop of Rouen[11]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "Non Jan" of "Gonnoridis…comitissa Normannie"[12]. m ([before 989]) as his second wife, RICHARD I “Sans Peur" Comte [de Normandie], son of GUILLAUME Comte [ de Normandie] & his first wife Sprota --- (Fécamp [932]-20 Nov 996, bur Fécamp).

3. HERFAST . Guillaume de Jumièges names "Herfast, frère de la comtesse Gunnor" when recording the murder of his son Osbern[13]. m ---. The name of Herfast's wife is not known. Herfast & his wife had two children:

a) OSBERN de Crépon (-murdered Vandreuil 1038).

5. son . Robert of Torigny names "Ricardum…qui ei successit et Robertum postea archiepiscopum Rothomagensium et Malgerium comitem Curbuliensem, aliosque duos" as the sons of "Ricardi primi ducis Normanniæ" and Gunnora[111]. No reference has been found to the name of this son.

6. EMMA ([985]-Winchester 14 Mar 1052, bur Winchester Cathedral). Guillaume de Jumièges names Emma as one of the three daughters of Duke Richard and Gunnora[112]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Emma Anglorum regina" as sister of "dux Normannie Richardus II"[113]. Emma was described by Henry of Huntingdon as "Emma Normanorum gemma"[114], although it is not known whether this was a particular indication of her beauty or mere hyperbole. She was known as ÆLFGIFU in England[115]. Her first husband sent her to her brother's court in Normandy in 1013 after the invasion of Svend King of Denmark[116]. She was living in Normandy in 1017 when King Æthelred's successor King Canute proposed marriage to her. Roger of Wendover records the marriage in Jul 1018 of "Cnuto" and "ducem Ricardum…Emmam sororem suam et regis Ethelredi relictam"[117]. After the death of her second husband, she continued to live at Winchester. After the election of her step-son as regent in early 1036, it was recognised that she would continue to live there to look after the interests of her son Harthacnut who had nominally succeeded his father as King of England and Denmark but was still absent in Denmark. It is likely that she encouraged her sons by her first husband, Edward and Alfred, to join her, Alfred being captured and murdered during the visit. After Harold was recognised as king of England in 1037, Queen Emma was expelled and took refuge at Bruges[118]. She commissioned the Encomium Emmæ Reginæ from a Flemish convent at Saint-Omer, maybe St Bertin's, designed to promote her son Harthacnut's claim to the English throne. Harthacnut joined her in Bruges in early 1040, and after the death of King Harold, they returned together to England. After the accession of Edward "the Confessor", her son by her first husband, Emma appears to have supported the rival claim of Magnus King of Norway[119]. Whatever the truth of this, King Edward did confiscate her property in 1043 according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle[120]. She seems to have spent the last years of her life in retirement in Winchester[121]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death of "Ælfgifu Emma, the mother of king Edward and of king Harthacnut" in 1052[122].

7. HAVISE (-21 Feb 1034). Guillaume de Jumièges names Hadvise, wife of "Geoffroi comte des Bretons", as the second of the three daughters of Duke Richard and Gunnora, and in a later passage records her marriage after the death of her father[124]. A charter dated 1008 records that, after the death of "Gaufrido comite Britanniæ", "filii eius Alanus et Eudo cum matre eorum Hadeguisia" restored the abbey of Saint-Méen[125]. "…Aduise matre eorum comitum…" signed the charter dated to [1013/22] under which "Alanus et Egio Britannorum monarchi" founded the priory of Livré "in pago Redonensi"[126].

Guillaume de Jumièges names Mathilde wife of "le comte Odon" as the third of the three daughters of Duke Richard and Gunnora, specifying in a later passage that her husband was "Eudes comte de Chartres" when recording their marriage after the death of her father, her dowry being half the castle of Dreux given to her by her brother Duke Richard II, and her death without children "quelques années après"[128].

WIKIPEDIA

Gunnora or Gunnor (c. 936–1031) was the wife and consort of Richard I of Normandy. Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herfast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

She was living with her sister Seinfreda, the wife of a local forester, when Richard, hunting nearby, heard of the beauty of the forester's wife. He is said to have ordered Seinfreda to come to his bed, but the lady substituted her unmarried sister, Gunnora. Richard, it is said, was pleased that by this subterfuge he had been saved from committing adultery, and the two became lovers. Gunnora long acted as Richard's mistress or wife by more danico, but when Richard was prevented from nominating their son Robert to be Archbishop of Rouen, the two were married, making their children legitimate in the eyes of the church.

Gunnora, both as mistress and duchess, was able to use her influence to see her kin favored, and several of the most prominent Conquest-era Norman magnates, including the Montgomery, Warenne, Mortimer, Vernon/Redvers, and Fitz Osbern families, were descendants of her brother and sisters.

GUNNORA ([950]-5 Jan 1031). She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[8]. It appears from Dudo de Saint-Quentin and Robert de Torigny[9] that Gunnora was Richard I's mistress before she married him. According to William of Jumièges, she was "of noble Danish origin"[10]. According to Robert de Torigny, the marriage took place to legitimise Richard and Gunnora's son Robert to permit his appointment as Bishop of Rouen[11].

m secondly ([before 989]) GUNNORA, daughter of --- ([950]-5 Jan 1031). Guillaume de Jumièges records the marriage of Duke Richard and "Gunnor, issue d'une très-noble famille danoise" soon after the death of his first wife[89]. According to Robert de Torigny, the marriage took place to legitimise Richard and Gunnora's son Robert to permit his appointment as Bishop of Rouen[90]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gunnor" as the wife of "dux Normannie primus Richardus"[91]. It appears from Dudo de Saint-Quentin that Gunnora was Richard I's mistress before she married him. "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1024/26], subscribed by "…Gonnor matris comitis…"[92]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1030 of "Gunnor comitissa uxor primi Ricardi"[93]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "Non Jan" of "Gonnoridis…comitissa Normannie"[94].

Richard & his second wife had eight children (legitimated [before 989] by the subsequent marriage of their parents):

http://xpda.com/family/default.htm?page=deCrepon-Gunnora-ind00830.htm

From Gesta Normannorum Ducum, Rogert de Torigni's autographed redaction (trans. van Houts):

"Because we have refered to Countess Gunnor on account of Rogerde Montgomery's mother, her niece, I should like to write down the story as reported by people of old of how Gunnor cane to be Duke Richard's wife. One day when Duke Richard was told of the celebrated beauty of the wife of one of his foresters, who lived at a place called Equiqueville near the town of Arques, he deliberately went hunting there in order to see for himself whether the report he had learned from several folk was true.While staying in the forester's house, the duke was so struck by the beauty of his wife's face that he summoned his host to bring his wife, called Sainsfrida, that night to his bed chamber. Very sadly the man told this to Sainsfrida, a wise woman, who comforted him by saying that she would send in her place her sister Gunnor, a virgin even more beautiful than her. And thus it happened. Once the duke perceived the trick he was delighted that he had not committed the sin of adultery with another man'swife. . . ."

Apart from Sainsfrida, Gunnor had two sisters, Wevia and Duvelina. The latter (Duvelina)*, with the help of thecountess, who was a very wise woman, married Turulf of Pont-Audemer. He was the son of someone called Torf, after whome several towns are called Tourville to the present day.Turulf's brother was Turketil, father of Ansketil of Harcourt.Turulf had by his wife Humphrey of Vieilles, father of Roger of Beaumont. The third of Countess Gunnor's sisters (Wevia)* married Osbern de Bolbec, by whom she bore the first Walter Giffard, and then Godfrey, father of William of Arques. . . ."

* The original manuscript, of which several copies survive, did not further identify these sisters, other than as "the latter"and "the third". This resulted in a certain degree of confusion, since Duvelina is actually named third, but had already been described as "the latter". However, in Robert's autographed copy, he has specifically inserted their names, which removes all ambiguity. Thus we have Sainsfrida married to the unnamed forester of (St. Vaast d') Equiqueville, Wevia married to Osbern de Bolbec, and Duvelina married to Turulf de Pont-Audemer.

There have been many requests for information on the various Normanrelationships compiled by Robert de Torigny. This is an attempt tosummarize and harmonize several recent works on some of the lines:

Elisabeth M C van Houts. Robert of Torigni as Genealogist. in Studiesin Medieval History presented to R. Allen Brown, p.215-33.

Kathleen Thompson. The Norman Aristocracy before 1066: the Example ofthe Montgomerys. in Historical Research 60:251-63.

K S B Keats-Rohan. Aspects of Torigny's Genealogy Revisited. inNottingham Medieval Studies 37:21-7.

Robert de Torigny, writing after the Norman Conquest, recorded thegenealogical traditions which tied many of the Norman nobility to thefamily of Gunnor, first mistress of Richard I, then Duchess ofNormandy. He reported the tradition that Richard had become infatuatedwith the wife of one of his foresters, but being the pious wife, shesubstituted her sister Gunnor, much to everyone's satisfaction. Heproceded to name the siblings of Gunnor, and also indicated the shehad numerous nieces, who are left unnamed, but whose marriages anddescendants are provided.

The genealogical information contained in his account has at varioustimes been praised and condemned, but recent opinion seems to favorthe view that, while minor errors abound, the genealogies accuratelyrepresent a tradition of shared descent that may account for the rapidrise of these nobles.

The parentage of Gunnor and her siblings is unknown. While somesources call her father Herfastus, this was in fact the name of herbrother. She has also been claimed as daughter of the Danish royalfamily, but there is no evidence for this, and the context of hercoming to the attention of Richard I and the family's subsequent riseto power militates against her being a royal daughter. Douglas argued(in a 1944 English Historical Review article on the family of WilliamFitz Osbern), based on the donations of brother Arfast to themonastery of St. Pere, that the root of the family was in the Cotetinregion of Normandy, but van Houts has suggested that the Cotetin landwas granted to Arfast, rather than inherited by him. Thus we are leftwith the more ambiguous statements of Torigny and others that she wasa member of a Norman family of Danish origins.

The only known brother of Gunnor was Arfast/Herfast, of whom we gainwhat little insight we have from a trial of heretics conducted by KingRobert II of France. Arfast testified that he had pretended to jointhe sect, all the better to denounce them when the time arose. Helater donated lands to the monastery of St. Pere, to which he retired.He had at least two sons: Osbern, who was steward to the later Dukes, and was murdered by William de Montgomery while defending the youngDuke William; and Ranulf, known from charters. Osbern maried a nieceof Richard I (the daughter of his half-brother) and by her was thefather of the Conquest baron William Fitz Osbern.

Gunnor had at least three sisters, of which the oldest appears to havebeen Senfria (Seinfreda), who was wife of the (unnamed) forester fromthe area of St. Vaast d'Equiqueville, and it was her charms which aresaid first to have attracted the attentions Duke Richard I. Sheappears to have had at least one daughter, Joscelina, wife of Hugh deMontgomery. (Torigny makes Joscelina daughter of another sister, Wevia, but a contemporary of Torigny, in demonstrating thegenealogical impediment to a marriage of a bastard of Henry I to aMontgomery descendant specifically calls Joscelina's mother Senfria, and the inheritance by the Montgomerys of large holdings suggests thatJoscelina was a significant coheiress to her parents, which does notmatch Wevia's family where the two sons would be expected to acquiremost of the family land.) Hugh de Montgomery and Joscelina had a sonRoger, but contrary to Torigny's statements, he was not the Conquestbaron of that name, but instead his father. By a wife possibly namedEmma, Roger had: Hugh; Roger (who married Mabel of Belleme and playeda significant role in pre-Conquest Normandy); William (who murderedcousin Osbern); Robert, and Gilbert.

Duvelina, a second sister of Gunnor, married Turulf de Pont Audemer, son of a Norman founder Torf, and uncle of the first of the Harcourts.They had at least one son, Humphrey de Vielles, who in turn was fatherof Roger de Beaumont, another Conquest-era baron.

Wevia, the only other sister of Gunnor named by Torigny, marriedOsbern de Bolbec (who is otherwise unknown to history). They had atleast two sons: Walter Giffard, ancestor of the EnglishGiffard/Gifford families, and also, through a daughter, of the Clarefamily; and Godfrey, whose son William de Arques had two daughters andco-heiresses.

Torigny indicates that Gunnor had numerous nieces, naming thedescendants of several of them, but usually not naming the niecesthemselves or their parents. As has already been seen with nieceJoscelina, the accounts of these families are more difficult toharmonize with other available sources.

One niece is said to have married Nicholas de Bracqueville, and tohave had William Martel and Walter de St. Martin. As to Martel, thereseems to have been a connection to Bracqueville, since Hawise, daughter of Nicholas married Hugh de Wareham, son of a Grippo. Hughhad a brother Geoffrey Martel, but beyond this no recent analysisprovides any insight as to the descent of the later Martels. Walter deSt. Martin is even more of a problem, since elsewhere Torignyincorrectly makes him brother of William de Warenne, but the ancestrygiven there is clearly false. Thus it is not clear that Torigny knewthe exact connection of Walter, and there is no evidence to helpclarify his true origins.

A second niece is said to have married Richard, vicomte of Rouen (whowas son of Tesselin). He had a son Lambert of St. Saens, whose sonHelias married a bastard daughter of Robert II of Normandy. (If theconnection here given is correct, then these two were within theprohibited degree, which may throw doubt on the relationship, orsimply suggest that the relationship did not come to light at thetime.) Based on later interactions between Montgomery and Warenne(thought to be related to this branch) it has been speculated thatthis niece was sister of Joscelina, which is possible but unsupported.

It appears to be through this family that the relationship of two moreNorman barons come into play, but not exactly as Torigny presents it.He shows yet another niece marrying Ranulph de Warenne, and by himhaving William de Warenne and Roger de Mortimer. This is clearlyuntrue, because Roger appears to have been a generation older thanWilliam. The solution appears to be that Torigny (as he had done withthe Montgomerys) compressed two people, a father and son of the samename, into one individual. Ranulph de Warenne (I) appears to havemarried Beatrice, sister of Richard, vicomte of Rouen, and thussister-in-law of one of Gunnor's nieces (thus it would appear thatthis family actually does not descend from a relative of Gunnor's, butis genealogically linked to some of her descendants) and had sons:Roger (de Mortimer) and Ranulph de Warenne (II), who in turn wasfather of another Ranulf (III) and of William de Warenne.

Finally, Torigny states that a niece married Osmund de Centumvillis, vicomte of Vernon, and had a son Fulk de Alnou, and a daughter whoseson was Baldwin de Reviers. Much debate has focussed on the attempt toidentify these men, but in the latter case, clearly a connection tothe Reviers/Vernon Earls of Devon is intended. The precise nature of the relationship is more difficult to pin down. It would seem that the first Earl Richard de Reviers and his brother Hugh were sons of a Baldwin, who had brothers Richard de Vernon (app. d.s.p.) and WilliamFitz Hugh de Vernon. (William, who was perhaps a uterine half-brother, had by wife Emma a son Hugh, often confused with the brother of EarlRichard. It is this error that has led to the statement that Emma wast he relative of Gunnor, which derives from a set of relationships hypothesized in Complete Peerage (CP, under Devon) and predicated onher being mother of Hugh, brother of Earl Richard, an untrue relationship, and on Richard being nephew of William Fitz Osbern, which is discussed below.) If Baldwin, father of Earl Richard, was the same as the grandson of Osmund de Centumvillis this would complete the picture, but one more relationship invites comment. Earl Richard issaid by an early source, cited by CP, to be nephew of William FitzOsbern. If the stated connection with vicomte Osmund is correct, then Baldwin de Reviers would have been too closely related to William FitzOsbern to have married his sister. (An alternative solution, that the wife of vicomte Osmund was sister of William Fitz Osbern, and hence grandniece of Gunnor, is chronologically impossible.) I suspect thatthis tradition records the memory that William Fitz Osbern was anolder male relative of Richard, rather than a precise genealogical relationship.

The work of Robert de Torigny thus provides a valuable source for the genealogical origins of the immediate pre-Conquest Norman aristocracy.When it has been possible to compare the information with other sources, some inconsistancies are found, but it is unclear whetherthese represent errors of Robert, or inaccuracies in the genealogical traditions he was recording. In most cases, an in-depth study of the available material has enabled modern historians to satisfactorillyreconstruct the descents from Gunnor's family and provide arepresentation of the true relationships among these early Norman families.

Gunnora or Gunnor (c. 936–1031) was the wife and consort of Richard I of Normandy. Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herfast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

She was living with her sister Seinfreda, the wife of a local forester, when Richard, hunting nearby, heard of the beauty of the forester's wife. He is said to have ordered Seinfreda to come to his bed, but the lady substituted her unmarried sister, Gunnora. Richard, it is said, was pleased that by this subterfuge he had been saved from committing adultery, and the two became lovers. Gunnora long acted as Richard's mistress or wife by more danico, but when Richard was prevented from nominating their son Robert to be Archbishop of Rouen, the two were married, making their children legitimate in the eyes of the church.

Gunnora, both as mistress and duchess, was able to use her influence to see her kin favored, and several of the most prominent Conquest-era Norman magnates, including the Montgomery, Warenne, Mortimer, Vernon/Redvers, and Fitz Osbern families, were descendants of her brother and sisters.

Richard and Gunnora were parents to six children:

Richard II "the Good", Duke of Normandy (966)

Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, Count of Evreux, died 1037.

Mauger, Earl of Corbeil, died after 1033.

Robert Danus, died between 985 and 989

Emma of Normandy (c. 985-1052) wife of two kings of England.

Maud of Normandy, wife of Odo II of Blois, Count of Blois, Champagne and Chartres

Preceded by

Emma of Paris Duchess consort of Normandy

989 - 996 Succeeded by

Judith of Brittany

!Sources: RC 24, 89, 166, 168, 222; Kraentzler 1153, 1156, 1174, 1180,1194, 1211, 1432, 1443; A. Roots 121E; Coe; Norr; Onslow; Pfafman; Davis. Roots: (Danish wife) Gunnor, died 1027 or 1031, daughter of forester of Arques. K. calls her Gonnor de Crepon. Norr: Gunnor (Gunora),(952)-1031.

Onslow in "The Dukes of Normandy and Their Orgin" says: "Richard I heard about a charming woman married to the superintendent of forests at Secheville near Arques. Richard visited Secheville, met the forester's beautiful wife, Sainfrida, and "had the impudence to suggest to her husband that he should be allowed to make her better acquaintance."The poor man was much perturbed and went in trouble to his wife. The lady had no mind to become the mistress of the Duke, but her morals were not so rigid as to prevent her from making capital our of the situation for her family. Sainfrida had three sisters, Gunnor, Adelina and Veva (Wevia), and a brother named Herfast. Gunnor was a very pretty girl and by no means particular. Sainfrida told her husband to pretend to fall in with the Duke's proposals and give Richard facilities to pay her a visit. But when Richard arrived, Gunnor took Sainfrida's place. The Duke did not discover the trick until the following day; but so delighted was he with Gunnor that not only did he forgive Sainfrida, but thanked her for having saved him from mortal sin! The result was that Gunnor became his wife by Danish custom and eventually the mother of a numerous family, the eldest of which was Richard II of Normandy."

Gunnor apparently had children by Richard before they were married and before his marriage to Emma. Evidently the Richard-Gunnor union was legitimized later. RC 166 says Gunnor's father was Herbastus de Crepon, Forester of Arques (in Denmark). Were there two foresters, the father of Gunnor and Sainfrida and also the husband of Sainfrida? Or did the story become tangled over the years? Coe spells name Gunore.

!Davis: Gonnor, daughter of a forester of Sauqueville in Britanny. Second wife of Richard I. She married (2) Eperleng, "farmer" of the mills of Pitres.

!Wingate, John. _William the Conqueror_, genealogical tables and notes.Gunnor was the sister of Herfast of Denmark. She was the mistress, or wife "by the Danish custom" of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, and married him after the death of his wife, Emma. She had both legitimate and illegitimate children by Richard.

!Douglas, David C. _William the Conqueror_: The Norman Impact Upon England_. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1964; page 145. He calls Gunnor the sister of Herfast and the aunt of Osbern, the steward of William the Conqueror's father, Duke Robert.

Ella vivía con su hermana Seinfreda, la esposa de un guardabosque local, cuando Ricardo, que estaba de caza en la zona, oyó acerca de la belleza de la esposa del guardabosque. Ordenó entonces que Seinfreda fuera a su lecho, pero la dama se hizo sustituir por su hermana soltera, Gunnora. Se dice que Ricardo, al enterarse, se vio complacido, ya que por ese subterfugio él se salvó de cometer adulterio. Así fue que Ricardo y Gunnora se hicieron amantes. Ella durante mucho tiempo actuó como la amante o esposa de Ricardo, a la manera danesa, pero cuando Ricardo fue impedido de nombrar a su hijo Roberto Arzobispo de Ruán, la pareja contrajo matrimonio, a fin de hacer a sus hijos legítimos a los ojos de la Iglesia.

Gunnora, tanto como amante como duquesa, fue capaz de usar su influencia para favorecer a sus familiares directos, y varios de los más prominentes Normandos de la época de la conquista de Inglaterra eran de hecho descendientes de sus hermanos y hermanas.

Gunnora or Gunnor (c. 936–1031) was the wife and consort of Richard I of Normandy. Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herefast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

She was living with her sister Seinfreda, the wife of a local forester, when Richard passed by hunting. He is said to have approached Seinfreda with amorous intentions, but the lady rejected his advance, suggesting that her unmarried sister Gunnor might prove more receptive. They became lovers, Gunnor first acting as his mistress and eventually marrying him.

Gunnora (or Gunnor) (c. 936 – 1031) was the wife and consort of Richard I of Normandy. Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herfast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

She was living with her sister Seinfreda, the wife of a local forester, when Richard, hunting nearby, heard of the beauty of the forester's wife. He is said to have ordered Seinfreda to come to his bed, but the lady substituted her unmarried sister, Gunnora. Richard, it is said, was pleased that by this subterfuge he had been saved from committing adultery, and the two became lovers. Gunnora long acted as Richard's mistress or wife by more danico, but when Richard was prevented from nominating their son Robert to be Archbishop of Rouen, the two were married, making their children legitimate in the eyes of the church.

Gunnora, both as mistress and duchess, was able to use her influence to see her kin favored, and several of the most prominent Conquest-era Norman magnates, including the Montgomery, Warenne, Mortimer, Vernon/Redvers, and Fitz Osbern families, were descendants of her brother and sisters.

Gunnor died in 1031 at age 95 years.

Gunnor was our ancestor through two distinct descent lines--one through her son Robert and the other through her daughter Hawise, each of whom was independently our ancestor.

Gunnora av NormandieFra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi
Gå til: navigasjon, søk
Gunnora eller Gunnor (ca 936 – 1031) var hustru til Rikard I av Normandie. Hennes bakgrunn er ukjent, og den tidligste kilden forteller kun at hun var av dansk opprinnelse og navngir hennes slektninger, blant annet broren Herefast de Crepon som noen ganger blir feilaktig oppgitt for å være hennes far. Hennes bror Herefast kan ha vært involvert i en kontroversiell rettssak angående kjetteri i forbindelse med katarenes tro.

Hun levde sammen med sin søster Seinfreda, hustruen til en lokal skogsmann da Rikard passert mens han var på jakt. Det er blitt sagt at han ønsket å ta Seinfreda til sengs, men at hun avviste hans tilnærmelser og foreslo heller at det var mer respektabelt om han henvendte seg til hennes ugifte søster Gunnora. Rikard tok da Gunnora som sin elskerinne og som han til sist kom til å gifte seg med.

Hans barn med Gunnora var:

Richard II, hertug av Normandie, også kalt for «Rikard den gode»
Robert, erkebiskop av Rouen, greve av Evreux, død 1037.
Mauger, jarl av Corbeil, død etter 1033.
Robert Danus, død mellom 985 og 989.
Emma av Normandie, død 1052, dronning av England to ganger.
Hawise av Normandie, hustru til Geoffrey I, hertug av Bretagne.
Maud av Normandie, hustru til Odo II av Blois, greve av Blois, Champagne og Chartres.
--------------------
Gunnor and Richardthe Fearless had at least 9 children, many of whom were born before his 1st marriage to Emma of Paris. Emma died within two years of her marriage to Duke Richard. After Emma died, Richard returned to Gunnor and married her, thereby legitimizing their children.

Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herefast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.

RC 166 says Gunnor's father was Herbastus de Crepon, Forester of Arques (in Denmark). Were there two foresters, the father of Gunnor and Sainfrida and also the husband of Sainfrida? Or did the story become tangled over the years?
Coe spells name Gunore. Davis: Gonnor, daughter of a forester of Sauqueville in Britanny. Second wife of Richard I. She married (2) Eperleng, "farmer" of the mills of Pitres.

SOURCES: 1. Wingate, John. _William the Conqueror_, genealogical tables and notes. Gunnor was the sister of Herfast of Denmark. She was the mistress, or wife "by the Danish custom" of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, and married him after the death of his wife, Emma. She had both legitimate and
illegitimate children by Richard. 2. Douglas, David C. _William the Conqueror_: The Norman Impact Upon England_. Berkeley and Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1964; page 145. He calls Gunnor the sister of Herfast and the aunt of Osbern, the steward of William the Conqueror's father, Duke Robert. 3. Stuart, Roderick W. _Royalty for Commoners_. 2nd Edition. Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 1992; lines 89-1 and 166-33. 4. Norr, Vernon M. _Some Early English Pedigrees_, page 60, generation 38, and page 23a. States that Richard I had issue by and later md (2) (after Agnes died) Gunora, b. 952, d. 1031; sister of a forester's wife whom Richard desired but who tricked him with her younger sister. 5. Ancestral File (AFN:9HMD-WL). One line gives her birth date as "abt 935" and only refers to her as "Concubine 1". She is also shown with the following other parents in the Ancestral File (AFN:FLGR-TL): Herbastus /DE CREPON/ (AFN:FLGR-SF) and Herbastus De C /MRS./

Her parentage is unknown, earliest sources reporting solely that she was of Danish ancestry and naming siblings including brother Herefast de Crepon who is sometimes erroneously given as her father.
