Herleva
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Herleva (c. 1003 - c. 1050) also known as Arlette, Arletta, and Herlève, was the mother of William I of England. She had two further sons, Odo of Bayeux and Robert, Count of Mortain, who became prominent in William's realm.

[edit] Family Background

The background of Herleva and the circumstances of William's birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. The most commonly accepted version says that she was the daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the small Norman town of Falaise, where they lived. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, or a person who laid out corpses for burial[1].

It is argued by some that Herleva's father was not a tanner but rather a member of burgher class[2]. The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if the father (and therefore her brothers) of Herleva was a tanner, little more than a peasant.

[edit] Relationship with Robert the Magnificent

According to one legend, still recounted by tour guides at Falaise, it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva from the roof of his castle tower. The walkway on the roof still looks down on the dyeing trenches cut into stone in the courtyard below, which can be seen to this day from the tower ramparts above. The traditional way of dyeing leather or garments was for individuals to trample barefoot on the garments which were awash in the dyeing liquid in these trenches. Herleva, legend goes, seeing the Duke on his ramparts above, raised her skirts perhaps a bit more than necessary in order to attract the Duke's eye. The latter was immediately smitten and ordered her brought in (as was customary for any wench that caught the Duke's eye) through the back door. Herleva refused, saying she would only enter the Duke's castle on horseback through the front gate. The Duke, filled with lust, could only agree. In a few days, Herleva, dressed in the finest her father could provide, and sitting on a white horse, rode proudly through the front gate, her head held high. This gave Herleva a semi-official status as the Duke's mistress.[citation needed]

She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027 or 1028, and probably a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030.

[edit] Marriage to Herluin de Conteville

The love affair of Robert and Herleva didn't last; the Duke lost his romantic interest in her. However, her "official" liaison with the Duke had elevated her from a commoner status. With the Duke's consent Herleva later married Herluin de Conteville in 1031.

From her marriage to Herluin she had two sons: Odo, who later became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert who became Count of Mortain. Both became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least one daughter, who married William, lord of La Ferté-Macé.[3]

Herleva probably died around 1050, in her forties.[4]

Arlette (Herlewa) var mor til Wilhelm Erobreren.
Hun var muligens datter til en pelshandler og brygger ved navn Herbert,
dette ifølge ?The romantic story of Arlette? av Rev. C. H. D. Grimes. Hun ble ifølge denne født
i Florenne i provinsen Namur og kom til Falaise i Normandie med sin far som hadde blitt tvunget
til å utvandre på grunn av fattigdom.
Ifølge ?Mémoires de L'Académie Nationale des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de
Caen? var faren pelshandleren Hubert som kom til Falaise for å etablere seg, etter å ha bodd i
den lille vakre byen Hay i Meusedalen mellom Liège og Namur. Hans hustru skulle være fra et
lite sted ved navn Vieux-Changes.
?Normandiets historie under de syv første hertuger 911 - 1066? av J. Steenstrup oppgir
at hennes far var buntmakeren Hubert som med sin hustru, Doda, utvandret til Falaise fra den
lille byen Huy ved Liège.
Arlette hadde en bror som het Walter.
Arlette var først Robert I ?le Diable?'s elskerinne og hadde med ham Wilhelm
Erobreren. Det fortelles at Robert oppdaget henne en aften etter å ha vendt hjem fra jakten til
sitt slott i Falaise mens hun vasket sitt tøy. Han ble straks forelsket og tok henne senere opp til
slottet. En annen beskrivelse angir at han oppdaget henne mens hun danset i de unge pikers
krets.
Robert synes å ha vært tro mot Arlette, og hun mot ham, selv om de aldri ble gift, sikkert
på grunn av hennes lave byrd. Da hennes sønn, Wilhelm (født høsten 1028), var 7 år gammel
dro Robert til det hellige land og døde der. Det heter at han, før han dro avsted, lot sin gamle
våpenkamerat Herluin love å ekte Arlette, hvis Robert ikke kom tilbake. Noen mener at
Herluin ektet henne før Roberts død.
Da Wilhelm ble født i 1028, kan hun ha truffer Robert ca. 16 år gammel i 1027 og være
født ca. 1011.
Hun ligger begravet i Grestain kloster og ble vistnok meget gammel. Hun døde
antagelig etter 1100.

Mistress of the Duke of Normandy

She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027, and a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030, who married first Enguerrand II of Ponthieu, second Lambert of Lens, and third Odo, count of Champagne.

The love affair of Robert and Herleva didn't last; the Duke lost his romantic interest in her. However, her "official" liaison with the Duke had elevated her from a commoner status. With the Duke's consent Herleva later married Herluin de Conteville in 1031.

Robert went on a successful pilgrimage in 1035 and died on his way home.

From her marriage to Herluin she had at least two sons: Odo who later became Bishop of Bayeux and Robert who became Count of Mortain, and both of them became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least one daughter, who married William, lord of La Ferté-Macé. All their children include:
Emma De Conteville, b. Abt 1029, Conteville, Eure, Normandy, France
Odo De Conteville Bishop Bayeux, ,Earl Kent, b. Abt 1030, Bayeux, Calvados, Normandy, France
Robert De Mortaigne, , Earl Of Cornwall, b. 1031, Mortaigne-Au-Perche, Orne, Normandy, France
Andre Vitre, b. 1043, Chartley, Staffordshire, England
Adelaide De Conteville
Isabella De Conteville
Muriel De Conteville, (Mortaigne), b. 1042, Conteville, Eure, Normandy, France
Mathilde De Conteville, b. Abt 1039, Conteville, Eure, Normandy, France

Herleva probably died around 1050, in her forties.

Other Source

Herleva, the daughter of a tanner from Falaise in Normandy, was born in 1010. When she was sixteen gave birth to a son called Richard. The boy's father was Gilbert, Count of Brionne, one of the most powerful landowners in Normandy. As Herleva was not married to Gilbert, the boy became known as Richard Fitz Gilbert. The term 'Fitz' was used to show that Richard was the illegitimate son of Gilbert.

The following year, Herleva became the mistress of Robert, Duke of Normandy. In 1028, Herleva and Robert had a son who eventually became known as William, Duke of Normandy. Instead of marrying Herleva, Robert persuaded her to marry his friend, Herluin of Conteville. After marriage, Herleva had three more children, Odo, Robert and Muriel. Later the sons became known as Odo of Bayeux and Robert of Mortain.

In 1035, Robert, Duke of Normandy died. Although William was illegitimate, he was Robert's only living son, and so inherited his father's title. Gilbert, Count of Brionne, became William's guardian. A number of Norman barons would not accept an illegitimate son as their leader and in 1040 an attempt was made to kill William. The plot failed but they did manage to kill Gilbert of Brionne.

Gilbert of Brionne's large estates in Normandy were now passed on to his legitimate son, Baldwin of Flanders. As Richard Fitz Gilbert was illegitimate, he did not receive very much land when his father died. When William, Duke of Normandy, decided to invade England in 1066, he invited his three half-brothers, Richard Fitz Gilbert, Odo of Bayeux and Robert of Mortain to join him. Richard, who had married Rohese, daughter of Walter Giffard of Normandy, also brought with him members of his wife's family.

In 1030, Robert, the Duke of Normandy, supported the King of France, Henry I,
against his brother Robert who was laying claim to the throne of France. In
reward, the Duke received the French Vexin. Arletta, a commoner, was the
daughter of a tanner of Falaise, France. When the duke died on his pilgrimage
to Jerusalem, he left as his heir, an illegitimate son, William, born of his
union with Arletta, and left under the protection of the king.

Herleva

Herleva (c. 1003 - 1050) also known as Arlette was the mother of William I of England.

Little is known for certain about Herleva's background, or the circumstances of William's birth. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. Probably she was the teenage daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the small Norman town of Falaise, where they lived. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, or a person who laid out corpses for burial.

Legend has is that it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva washing in the river near his castle. He was unable to resist her and took her for his mistress. She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027, and a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030, who married first Enguerrand II of Ponthieu, second Lambert of Lens, and third Odo, count of Champagne.

Their love affair didn't last. While Robert went on a pilgrimage, Herleva married Herluin de Conteville in 1031. From this marriage she had two sons: Odo and Robert, who both became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least one daughter, who married William, lord of La Ferté-Macé.

Herleva probably died around 1050.

Harlette (Herleva) De FALAISE (1003-)
Was found by Robert, sunning herself, and invited to the castle. She
went formally, as a lady would, instead of sneaking in. She had a bastard
son, William, by Robert.
NOTES: Also spelled: Herleva & Herleve; Herleve was the mistress of
Robert, and William I the Conqueror was illegitimate (a bastard).

Herleva (c. 1003 - 1050) also known as Arlette, Arletta, and Herlve, was the mother of William I of England. The background of Herleva and the circumstances of William`s birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. The most commonly accepted version says that she was the teenage daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the small Norman town of Falaise, where they lived. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, or a person who laid out corpses for burial. It is argued that Herleva`s father was not a tanner but rather a member of burgher class[1]. The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if the father (and therefore her brothers) of Herleva was a tanner, little more than

MEDIEVAL LANDS

ROBERT (-Nikaia 22 Jul 1035, bur Nikaia basilica St Mary, transferred [1187] to Apulia). Guillaume de Jumièges names (in order) "Richard, Robert et Guillaume" as the three sons of Duke Richard II and Judith[186]. Ademar names Robert as brother of Richard[187]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that he rebelled against his brother Duke Richard III from his stronghold at Falaise[188]. He succeeded his brother in 1027 as ROBERT II "le Diable" Duke of Normandy. "Rotbertus Normannorum dux, Ricardi filio" founded the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen in 1030[189]. He gave shelter to Henri, son of Robert II King of France, during his dispute with his mother Queen Constance, the king granting le Vexin to Robert after his accession to the French throne in 1031[190]. William of Malmesbury records that Robert went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem in 1035[191]. Orderic Vitalis dates his departure to "after seven and a half years", but it is unclear from the context whether this is calculated based on his accession or his father's death[192]. The date of Robert´s departure can be estimated more precisely from his charter dated 13 Jan 1035 which announces his forthcoming departure for Jerusalem[193]. Guillaume de Jumièges records the death of Duke Robert 2 Jul 1035 at Nikea on his return from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and his burial in the basilica of St Mary at Nikaia[194]. According to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, he died while on pilgrimage in 1031[195]. Orderic Vitalis specifies that Duke Robert died "in the city of Nicæa in Bythinia"[196]. William of Malmesbury recounts that his remains were disinterred from Nikaia on the orders of his son, but interred in Apulia on their way back to France after the messenger learnt of the death of William I King of England[197].

Mistress (1): ---. Robert de Torigny names "Aeliz" as daughter of Duke Robert II "de alia concubina" from Herleve[198]. The name of Duke Robert's first mistress is not known.

Mistress (2): HERLEVE [Arlette], daughter of FULBERT [de Falaise] & his wife Doda [Duwa] ---. Guillaume de Jumièges names "Herlève fille le Fulbert valet de chamber du duc" as mother of Duke Guillaume II, recording that "un certain Herluin, brave chevalier, prit Herlève pour femme" after the death of Duke Robert[199]. Orderic Vitalis calls her "Duke Robert's concubine", and records her marriage, referring to her husband as stepfather to Duke Guillaume[200]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the mother of Duke Guillaume as "filia…Herbertus pelliparius et uxor eius Doda sive Duwa", specifying that they were from Chaumont in the diocese of Liège but moved to Falaise but that others said they were from Huy, and refers to her marriage to "Herlewino de Vado comitis"[201].

She married Herluin de Conteville.

Duke Robert II had one illegitimate child by Mistress (1):

a) ADELAIS (-[1081/84]). Robert de Torigny names "Aeliz" as the daughter of Duke Robert II "de alia concubina" from Herleve[202]. She retained the title Comtesse d'Aumâle after her first marriage. The foundation charter of Saint-Martin d´Auchy names “Engueranni consulis qui filius fuit Berte supradicti Guerinfridi filie et Adelidis comitisse uxoris sue sororis…Willelmi Regis Anglorum”[203]. Her second marriage is deduced from the same charter of Saint-Martin d´Auchy which also names “Judita comitissa domine supradicte filia”[204]. Orderic Vitalis calls her "the king's sister" when referring to her marriage to Eudes Comte de Troyes[205].

m firstly ENGUERRAND [II] Comte de Montreuil, son of HUGUES de Ponthieu Comte de Montreuil & his wife Berthe d'Aumâle (-killed in battle Château d'Arques 25 Oct 1053).

m secondly ([1053/54]) LAMBERT de Boulogne Comte de Lens, son of EUSTACHE [I] Comte de Boulogne & his wife Mathilde de Louvain (-killed in battle Phalampin 1054).

m thirdly ([1060]) EUDES III Comte de Troyes et d'Aumâle, son of ETIENNE I Comte de Troyes [Blois] & his wife Adela --- (-after 1118).

Duke Robert II had one illegitimate child by Mistress (2):

b) GUILLAUME (Château de Falaise, Normandy [1027/28]-Rouen, Prioré de Saint-Gervais 9 Sep 1087, bur Caen, Abbé de Saint-Etienne).

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[206], and Orderic Vitalis, who states that he was eight years old at the time[207]. 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[208]. He succeeded his father in 1035 as GUILLAUME II Duke of Normandy.

Family Background

The background of Herleva and the circumstances of William's birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. The most commonly accepted version says that she was the daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the small Norman town of Falaise, where they lived. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, or a person who laid out corpses for burial.

It is argued by some that Herleva's father was not a tanner but rather a member of burgher class. The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if the father (and therefore her brothers) of Herleva was a tanner, little more than a peasant.

Relationship with Robert the Magnificent

According to one legend, still recounted by tour guides at Falaise, it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva from the roof of his castle tower. The walkway on the roof still looks down on the dyeing trenches cut into stone in the courtyard below, which can be seen to this day from the tower ramparts above. The traditional way of dyeing leather or garments was for individuals to trample barefoot on the garments which were awash in the dyeing liquid in these trenches. Herleva, legend goes, seeing the Duke on his ramparts above, raised her skirts perhaps a bit more than necessary in order to attract the Duke's eye. The latter was immediately smitten and ordered her brought in (as was customary for any wench that caught the Duke's eye) through the back door. Herleva refused, saying she would only enter the Duke's castle on horseback through the front gate. The Duke, filled with lust, could only agree. In a few days, Herleva, dressed in the finest her father could provide, and sitting on a white horse, rode proudly through the front gate, her head held high. This gave Herleva a semi-official status as the Duke's mistress.[citation needed]

She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027 or 1028, and probably a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030.

Marriage to Herluin de Conteville

The love affair of Robert and Herleva didn't last; the Duke lost his romantic interest in her. However, her "official" liaison with the Duke had elevated her from a commoner status. With the Duke's consent Herleva later married Herluin de Conteville in 1031. Some accounts however, maintain that Robert always loved her, but the gap in their social status made marriage impossible, so, to give her a good life, he married her off to one of his favourite noblemen.

From her marriage to Herluin she had two sons: Odo, who later became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert who became Count of Mortain. Both became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least one daughter, who married William, lord of La Ferté-Macé.

Herleva probably died around 1050, in her forties.

Herleva (c. 1003 – c. 1050) also known as Herleve,[1] Arlette,[2] Arletta[3] and Arlotte,[4] was the mother of William I of England. She had two other sons, Odo of Bayeux and Robert, Count of Mortain, who became prominent in William's realm.

Family background

The background of Herleva and the circumstances of William's birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. The most commonly accepted version says that she was the daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the town of Falaise, in Normandy. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, apothecary, or a person who laid out corpses for burial.[5]

It is argued by some that Herleva's father was not a tanner but rather a member of the burgher class.[6] The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if Herleva's father (and therefore her brothers) was a tanner, which would place his standing as little more than a peasant.

Orderic Vitalis described Herleva's father Fulbert as being the Duke's Chamberlain (cubicularii ducis).

Relationship with Robert the Magnificent

According to one legend, still recounted by tour guides at Falaise, it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva from the roof of his castle tower. The walkway on the roof still looks down on the dyeing trenches cut into stone in the courtyard below, which can be seen to this day from the tower ramparts above. The traditional way of dyeing leather or garments was for individuals to trample barefoot on the garments which were awash in the dyeing liquid in these trenches. Herleva, legend goes, seeing the Duke on his ramparts above, raised her skirts perhaps a bit more than necessary in order to attract the Duke's eye. The latter was immediately smitten and ordered her brought in (as was customary for any woman that caught the Duke's eye) through the back door. Herleva refused, saying she would only enter the Duke's castle on horseback through the front gate, and not as an ordinary commoner. The Duke, filled with lust, could only agree. In a few days, Herleva, dressed in the finest her father could provide, and sitting on a white horse, rode proudly through the front gate, her head held high. This gave Herleva a semi-official status as the Duke's mistress.[citation needed]

She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027 or 1028, and probably a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030.

Marriage to Herluin de Conteville

Herleva later married Herluin de Conteville in 1031. Some accounts however, maintain that Robert always loved her, but the gap in their social status made marriage impossible, so, to give her a good life, he married her off to one of his favourite noblemen.[citation needed]

Another source suggests that Herleva did not marry Herluin until after Robert died because there is no record of Robert ensuing another relationship, whereas Herluin married another woman, Fredesendis, by the time he founded the abbey of Grestain.[9]

From her marriage to Herluin she had two sons: Odo, who later became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert, who became Count of Mortain. Both became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least two daughters, Emma, who married Richard LeGoz (de Averanches), and a daughter of unknown name who married William, lord of la Ferté-Macé.[10]

Death

According to Robert of Torigni, Herleva was buried at the abbey of Grestain, which was founded by Herluin and their son Robert around 1050. This would put Herleva in her forties around the time of her death. However, David C. Douglas suggests that Herleva probably died before Herluin founded the abbey because her name does not appear on the list of benefactors, whereas the name of Herluin's second wife, Fredesendis, does

Translation of filia pelletarii burgensis being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, apothecary, or a person who laid out corpses for burial.
It is argued by some that Herleva's father was not a tanner but rather a member of the burgher class. The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if Herleva's father (and therefore her brothers) was a tanner, which would place his standing as little more than a peasant.

Relationship with Robert the Magnificent

From: "The Normans, From Raiders To Kings" by Lars Brownworth, Chapter 4.

According to one legend, still recounted by tour guides at Falaise, it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy, saw Herleva from the roof of his castle tower. The walkway on the roof still looks down on the dyeing trenches cut into stone in the courtyard below, which can be seen to this day from the tower ramparts above. The traditional way of dyeing leather or garments was to trample barefoot on the garments which were awash in the liquid dye in these trenches. Herleva, legend goes, seeing the Duke on his ramparts above, raised her skirts perhaps a bit more than necessary in order to attract the Duke's eye. The latter was immediately smitten and ordered her brought in (as was customary for any woman that caught the Duke's eye) through the back door. Herleva refused, saying she would only enter the Duke's castle on horseback through the front gate, and not as an ordinary commoner. The Duke, filled with lust, could only agree. In a few days, Herleva, dressed in the finest her father could provide, and sitting on a white horse, rode proudly through the front gate, her head held high. This gave Herleva a semi-official status as the Duke's mistress.[citation needed]

She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027 or 1028.

Marriage to Herluin de Conteville

Herleva later married Herluin de Conteville in 1031. Some accounts maintain that Robert always loved her, but the gap in their social status made marriage impossible, so, to give her a good life, he married her off to one of his favourite noblemen.[citation needed]

Another source suggests that Herleva did not marry Herluin until after Robert died, because there is no record of Robert entering another relationship, whereas Herluin married another woman, Fredesendis, by the time he founded the abbey of Grestain.[a]

From her marriage to Herluin she had two sons: Odo, who later became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert, who became Count of Mortain. Both became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least two daughters: Emma, who married Richard LeGoz or Richard Goz (count or viscount of Avranches), and a daughter of unknown name who married William, lord of la Ferté-Macé.[10]

Name
•Herleve[1] : Herlava; Arlette (c.1003- c.1050)[2][3]
•Arlette [1]

Parents

Herleve's father was Fulbert de Falaise. [4][5]

Herleve's mother was named Doda or Duwa. [5] [6]

Bree Ogle | Mar 2014 WikiTree -- The earliest accounts of Herleva come from Orderic Vitalis (1075 – c. 1142).[7] They were not written down until 80 years after she met Robert the Magnificent. It was only through Wace and Benoit in the 12th century, and later 17th century writings, that she became known as a the daughter of tanner.[8]

Scholarship discounts this based on examination of the original source, the context of the public heckling of Duke William, and the Latin and French words later chroniclers had trouble translating.[8]

According to van Houts (1986), Fulbert was probably a mortician. He is described as, "a person who laid out corpses," and "might have embalmed bodies." As Chamberlain of the ducal court, this was one of Fulbert's duties.[8]

The Legend of Robert and Herleve

According to one legend, still recounted by tour guides at Falaise, it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva from the roof of his castle tower. The walkway on the roof still looks down on the dyeing trenches cut into stone in the courtyard below, which can be seen to this day from the tower ramparts above. The traditional way of dyeing leather or garments was for individuals to trample barefoot on the garments which were awash in the dyeing liquid in these trenches. Herleva, legend goes, seeing the Duke on his ramparts above, raised her skirts perhaps a bit more than necessary in order to attract the Duke's eye. The latter was immediately smitten and ordered her brought in (as was customary for any woman that caught the Duke's eye) through the back door. Herleva refused, saying she would only enter the Duke's castle on horseback through the front gate, and not as an ordinary commoner. The Duke, filled with lust, could only agree. In a few days, Herleva, dressed in the finest her father could provide, and sitting on a white horse, rode proudly through the front gate, her head held high. This gave Herleva a semi-official status as the Duke's mistress. [9]

1027 Robert I and William the Bastard

There is some controversy as to whether Herleve married Robert. Freeman reports their relationship as a marriage: "Herleve married first Robert, Duke of Normandy. Issue: William the Conqueror [10]

There is also the possibility that they were married according to "More danico", the "Danish Way". [11] She was referred to in the Grestain abbey as "a legitimate wife according to old Norman traditions." [12]

At the same time, up-and-coming reformists like pope Gregory VII (Hildebrand of Sovana) hoped to ban these customs and establish authoritarian rule. As a "concubine" through this lens, a "frilla" like Herleve is a glance at the long process of the Christianization of Europe, and the outing of indigenous culture.[13][14]

Still struggling for power and legitimacy, the seat of Rome had barely cleaned up its own house, before it got caught between the Roman aristocracy, and the slaughter of the Saracens and unstoppable Norman "barbarians." Unable to maintain its own security, the papacy cut a deal with the devil, and asked for the backing of the Norman military. It worked, but Rome paid a fateful price before it was able to achieve absolute rule.[14]

So at this juncture, the lack of a wedding sanctioned by the Roman church was no threat to the rank or inheritance of England's future Norman king.[15] And by the time the Conqueror was on the throne, the papacy was lucky to have any influence on him at all.[16] Incidentally, William was born around c.1028 in Falaise, Normandy.[17]

Nevertheless, contemporary genealogists such as Douglas Richardson state that "she became the mistress of Robert I, Duke of Normandy, and by him had one illegitimate son, William the Conqueror, King of England, Duke of Normandy."[1]

It should also be noted that while William was never known as "the Conqueror" during his life time, he was often referred to as "William the Bastard." [18]

1030 Marriage of Herleve and Herluin

About 1030 Herleve married Herluin de Conteville, Vicomte, seigneur of Conteville. [1] Some writers assume that the marriage to Herluin occurred only after Robert's death.

Herleve and Herluin had two sons, and one daughter:[1]
1.Eudes or Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, Earl of Kent, died Jan 1097 [1]
2.Robert de Mortain, Count of Mortain, [1] born after 1040 - d. 8 Dec 1090.
3.Muriel. [1]

1050 Grestain Abbey: ✝ Abbey Notre Dame de Grestain ✝

Herluin founded Grestain Abbey i Normandy about 1050. He and his wife renounced their claim to the tithe of Toutainville and to the vill called Mesnil-Dastin to Preaux Abbey. [1][19]

At some point, Herlave's second husband supposedly had leprosy.[20] This is said to have inspired the couple to found the Abbey Notre-Dame de Grestain in 1050,[20] but other sources state Herleva had no part in it.[21] It's assumed Herlave is buried there or Mortain, Haute-Normandie.[22]

1050 Death

Herluin's wife, Herleve, is thought to have been living in 1050-51, but died soon afterwards. [1]

Herluin and his first wife, Arlette, were buried in Grestain Abbey. [1]

Remarriage of Husband

Herluin married, 2nd, Fredesende. They had two sons, Jean, who appears to have died young, and Raoul Fitz Herluin (or de Conteville), seigneur of Corneville-sur-Risle and Martainville-en-Lieuvin, presumably Domesday tenant of Chapel Allerton, Huish (in Burnham), Adber (in Trent) and Brent, Somerset. Herluin de Conteville died about 1066. [1]

His widow, Fredesende, granted part of dower lands at Le Neubourg, Cantelou, and Honnaville, to Grestain Abbey. [1]

Documented Children

Herleve had children by both Robert and Herluin. Herleve and Herluin had two sons, and one daughter:[1]

Garverdatter(?)
Herleva (c. 1003 - c. 1050) also known as Arlette, Arletta, Herlève and Herleva, was the mother of William I of England. She had two further sons, Odo of Bayeux and Robert, Count of Mortain, who became prominent in William's realm.

Family Background
The background of Herleva and the circumstances of William's birth are shrouded in mystery. The written evidence dates from a generation or two later, and is not entirely consistent. The most commonly accepted version says that she was the daughter of a tanner named Fulbert from the small Norman town of Falaise, where they lived. Translation being somewhat uncertain, Fulbert may instead have been a furrier, embalmer, or a person who laid out corpses for burial[1].

It is argued by some that Herleva's father was not a tanner but rather a member of burgher class[2]. The idea is supported by the fact that her brothers appear in a later document as attestors for an under-age William. Also, the Count of Flanders later accepted Herleva as a proper guardian for his own daughter. Both facts would be nearly impossible if the father (and therefore her brothers) of Herleva was a tanner, little more than a peasant.

Relationship with Robert the Magnificent
According to one legend, still recounted by tour guides at Falaise, it all started when Robert, the young Duke of Normandy saw Herleva from the roof of his castle tower. The walkway on the roof still looks down on the dyeing trenches cut into stone in the courtyard below, which can be seen to this day from the tower ramparts above. The traditional way of dyeing leather or garments was for individuals to trample barefoot on the garments which were awash in the dyeing liquid in these trenches. Herleva, legend goes, seeing the Duke on his ramparts above, raised her skirts perhaps a bit more than necessary in order to attract the Duke's eye. The latter was immediately smitten and ordered her brought in (as was customary for any wench that caught the Duke's eye) through the back door. Herleva refused, saying she would only enter the Duke's castle on horseback through the front gate. The Duke, filled with lust, could only agree. In a few days, Herleva, dressed in the finest her father could provide, and sitting on a white horse, rode proudly through the front gate, her head held high. This gave Herleva a semi-official status as the Duke's mistress.[citation needed]

She later gave birth to his son, William, in 1027 or 1028, and probably a daughter, Adelaide, in 1030.

Marriage to Herluin de Conteville
The love affair of Robert and Herleva didn't last; the Duke lost his romantic interest in her. However, her "official" liaison with the Duke had elevated her from a commoner status. With the Duke's consent Herleva later married Herluin de Conteville in 1031. Some accounts however, maintain that Robert always loved her, but the gap in their social status made marriage impossible, so, to give her a good life, he married her off to one of his favourite noblemen.

From her marriage to Herluin she had two sons: Odo, who later became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert who became Count of Mortain. Both became prominent during William's reign. They also had at least one daughter, who married William, lord of La Ferté-Macé.[3]

Herleva probably died around 1050, in her forties.[4]

She was never married to Robert.

Herleva, the daughter of a tanner from Falaise in Normandie, was born in1010. When she was sixteen gave birth to a son called Richard. The boy'sfather was Gilbert, Count of Brionne, one of the most powerful landownersin Normandie. As Herleva was not married to Gilbert, the boy became knownas Richard Fitz Gilbert. The term 'Fitz' was used to show that Richardwas the illegitimate son of Gilbert.

The following year, Herleva became the mistress of Robert, Duke ofNormandie. In 1028, Herleva and Robert had a son who eventually becameknown as William, Duke of Normandie. Instead of marrying Herleva, Robertpersuaded her to marry his friend, Herluin of Conteville. After marriage,Herleva had three more children, Odo, Robert and Muriel. Later the sonsbecame known as Odo of Bayeux and Robert of Mortain.

In 1035, Robert, Duke of Normandie died. Although William wasillegitimate, he was Robert's only living son, and so inherited hisfather's title. Gilbert, Count of Brionne, became William's guardian. Anumber of Norman barons would not accept an illegitimate son as theirleader and in 1040 an attempt was made to kill William. The plot failedbut they did manage to kill Gilbert of Brionne.

Gilbert of Brionne's large estates in Normandie were now passed on to hislegitimate son, Baldwin of Flanders. As Richard Fitz Gilbert wasillegitimate, he did not receive very much land when his father died.When William, Duke of Normandie, decided to invade England in 1066, heinvited his three half-brothers, Richard Fitz Gilbert, Odo of Bayeux andRobert of Mortain to join him. Richard, who had married Rohese, daughterof Walter Giffard of Normandie, also brought with him members of hiswife's family.
Legend says that Robert spied on her while she washed clothes at theriver.Ancestral File Number: GS5C-51

also married Herluin de Conteville, son of Earl Jean de Conteville

Harlette is a form of harlot. She was not married to William. William was famously known as a bastard.

The de Burghs are descendants of Harlette through another husband Hurbert de Burgo. As of 5/7/2002 I am not filling in this line. I am a bit suspicious of the source, as it shows an (unnamed) daughter of Richard I and Berengaria, who were childless. Richard is known to history as having been homosexual.

27724541. Arlette (Herlewa) N.NSDTR (5839) was born about 1011.(5840) F. i provinsen Namur She died after 1100. (5841) Hun ligger begravet i Grestain kloster Det sies at hun var datter av enpelshandler og brygger Herbert. Hun skulle da ha vært født i Florenne i provinsen Namur og være kommet med sin fra, hvem fattigdom hadde tvunget til å utvarnde, til Falaise i Normandie. Andre kilder hevder at hennes far buntmakeren Hubert, og hustru Doda utvandret itl Falaise fra den lille by Huy ved Liege. Atter andre hevder at faren ver pelshandler Hubert som kom til Falaise for å etablere seg, etter å ha bodd i denlille vakre by Hay i Meusdalen mellom Liege og Namur. hans hustru skulle være fra et lite sted ved navn Vieux-Change.

Hun var først Robert I "Le Diables" elskerinne og hadde med ham Wilhelm Erobreren. Det fortelles at Robert opdaget henne en aften , etter å ha vent hjem fra jekten til sitt slott i Falaise, mens hun vasket sitt tøi. Han ble straks forelsket og tok henne senere opp på slottet. Andre sier at Robert oppdaget henne mens hun danset i de unge pikers krets.

Robert synes å ha vært tro mot Arlette, og hun mot ham, sjønt de aldri ble gift, sikkert p.g.a hennes lave byrd. Da hennes sønn Wilhelm var 7 år gammel (f. høst 1028), dro Robert til det hellige land og døde der. Det heter at han, før han dro avsted, lot sin gamle våpenkamerat Herulin love å ekte Arlette, hvis Robert ikke skulle komme tilbake. Noen mener at Herulin ektet henne før Roberts død. Herlewa hadde en bror, Walter.Hun ble visstnok meget gammel, antaglig død etter 1100. Hun kan ha vært ca 16 år gammel da Wilhelm ble født, alstå født ca 1011
