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

WIKIPEDIA (Eng)

Bernard the Dane (French - Bernard le Danois; c.880 - before 960), was a Viking jarl (earl) of Danish origins. He put himself in the service of another jarl installed at the mouth of the Seine, Rollo (before 911). After the accords of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte that officially gave birth to the duchy of Normandy (911), Bernard converted to the Christianity at Rouen the following year (912) and shortly afterwards received from Rollo, the county of Pont-Audemer in Roumois (today in the Eure département) then, later, the city of Harcourt.

Under Rollo's son and successor Duke William, Bernard was charged at the beginning of the 930s with putting down the serious uprising led by a certain Riouf (a Norman from the west, who had besieged the Duke in Rouen), then in around 935 he put down a revolt in Bessin and Cotentin by Viking communities completely independent from the young and fragile power of the dukedom, unlike the east of the duchy of Normandy where its ducal power was affirmed a little later.

Later, on William's premature death by assassination, Bernard became regent of the duchy of Normandy in December 942, beside Anslech de Bricquebec, Osmond de Conteville and Raoul Taisson.

In 945-946, he appealed to Harald Bluetooth and his Danes to defend the duchy when it was attacked by the Carolingian king Louis of Outremer and Hugh the Great, duke of the Franks. Louis was attempting to retake the lands of the west in Normandy that had been granted to the Viking bands thirty years earlier.

Bernard died a few years late (before 960). He was the ancestor of two great Anglo-Norman baronial families, the Beaumonts and the Harcourts.

WIKIPEDIA (fr)

Bernard le Danois est un noble normand de la première moitié du Xe siècle.

Sources [modifier]

Le personnage est connu par la chronique du chanoine Dudon de Saint-Quentin, De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum. Or certains passages de cette œuvre panégyrique sont sujets à caution, contredits notamment par Flodoard. Le Gesta Normannorum ducum de Guillaume de Jumièges et le Roman de Rou de Wace évoquent également Bernard mais ces auteurs ne font que reprendre le récit de leur prédécesseur.

* Dudon de Saint-Quentin, De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum, Éd. Jules Lair, Caen, F. Le Blanc-Hardel, 1865

* Guillaume de Jumièges, Histoire des Normands, éd. Guizot, Brière, 1826, Livre IV (traduction française des Gesta Normannorum ducum écrits vers 1172).

Biographie [modifier]

Son surnom suggère qu'il est originaire du Danemark. Il a pu s'installer en Normandie avec ses compatriotes vikings autour de l'an 900. C'est un compagnon de Rollon le Marcheur, le fondateur du duché de Normandie[1].

Au début des années 930, il convainc le fils et successeur de Rollon, Guillaume Longue-Épée de sortir immédiatement de Rouen pour combattre l'armée de Riouf (un Normand de l’Ouest), venue assiéger la ville. Riouf est vaincu sous les murs de la capitale normande. Le rôle politique de Bernard émerge véritablement après l'assassinat de Guillaume en décembre 942. Il fait partie d'une sorte de triumvirat qui dirige le futur duché de Normandie en attendant la majorité de Richard Ier[2]. Dudon de Saint-Quentin le montre comme un acteur omniprésent des années 942-946 aux côtés de ses compatriotes normands Anslech, Osmond de Conteville et Raoul Taisson. Pendant cette période, il fait preuve d'une intelligence tactique qui, si l'on se fie au récit du chanoine, permet à la jeune Normandie de survivre à l'appétit de ses voisins, en l'occurrence le roi carolingien Louis d’Outremer et le duc des Francs Hugues le Grand.

À deux reprises, Bernard le Danois accueille le roi à Rouen et lui garantit la soumission des Normands. L'armée royale se déploie en Normandie tandis que le jeune Richard Ier est emmené en France pour y être éduqué. Mais en secret, Bernard fait appel en 945-946 aux Danois du roi Harald « à La Dent Bleue » (Harald Blåtand) pour reprendre la main[3]. Grâce à l'intervention des Danois, Bernard s'empare de Louis d’Outremer. Cette capture assure dans les mains normandes un atout d'importance pour négocier le retour de Richard Ier en Normandie. Le roi est effectivement libéré puis le jeune jarl est ramené dans son pays.

Bernard le Danois disparaît ensuite du récit de Dudon.

Bernard le Danois serait le père de Torf et, ainsi, à l’origine de deux grandes familles anglo-normandes, les Beaumont et les Harcourt. Si l'on ne possède pas de preuve d'une filiation entre Bernard le Danois et Torf, cette origine est cependant mentionnée par de nombreuses généalogies[4] et a été reconnue par les rois de France, comme en attestent notamment les lettres patentes octroyées par Louis XIV pour l'érection du duché d'Harcourt en 1700[5].

When in 911 the Viking chief Rollo obtained the territories that would make up Normandy through the Treaty of Saint Clair-sur-Epte, he distributed domains to his main supporters among those who had accompanied him on his expeditions against the English and the Neustrians. After the conquest of Normandy, considerable lands (notably the seigneurie of Harcourt, near Brionne, were granted to Bernard the Dane as a reward for his exploits, and from him they descended upon the lords (seigneurs) of Harcourt.

Named after its seigneurie of Harcourt in Normandy, the House of Harcourt was a powerful Norman family, descended from the Viking Bernard the Dane. Its mottos were "Gesta verbis praeveniant" (Olonde branch), "Gesta verbis praevenient" (Beuvron branch), and "Le bon temps viendra ... de France" (English branch).

In 1280 they established the Collège d'Harcourt in Paris, now the Lycée Saint-Louis at 44 boulevard Saint-Michel.

Bernard the Dane - claimed to be the ancestor of the Harcourts by Gilles-André de La Roque [Histoire généalogique de la maison de Harcourt, 1663]. Little is known of him: His early career in the 930s was concerned with supressing revolts by factions opposed to the ruling hierarchy in the emerging state of Normandy. After the assassination of William Longsword, Bernard became a regent of the 'duchy' of Normandy in December 942, charged with the protection of the the young 'Duke' Richard, together with, among others, [1.1.1.2.2.1.] Anslech de Briquebec.
