About Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy

Parents unknown, but often pretended to be a fictitious Herbastus de Crepon. See Todd A. Farmerie, Robert de Torigny and the family of Gunnor, Duchess of Normandy (Dec. 1996).

According to Robert de Torigny, she was a virgin living with her married sister Senfrie when Duke Richard of Normandy became enamored of Senfrie. Senfrie managed to substitute Gunnora, who became mistress, and later wife, of Duke Richard of Normandy. Gunnora then used her influence to arrange good marriages for her sisters Wevia and Aveline and for her nieces whom he leaves unnamed.

Gunnor, wife of Richard 'Sans-Peur'.

Of Norse origin, but NOT descendant of Harald Blåtann (Harold Bluetooth). Read below.

MEDIEVAL LANDS by Charles Cawley (updated here on 28 Feb 2015)

Chapter 1. EARLY NORMAN FAMILIES of VIKING ORIGIN

Four sisters and one brother, presumably of Viking origin. Their parents are not known, and there is no guarantee that they all shared the same father and mother:

1. SAINSFRIDA [Senfrie] . Guillaume de Jumièges records that "in domo forestarii...hospiti suo...uxorem suam Sainfriam" rejected the advances of Richard I Comte [de Normandie] and sent “Gunnorem sororem suam” to his bed in her place[1596]. She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[1597]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Seufriam" as sister of "Gunnor uxor…Richardi Normannis ducem"[1598]. 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"[1599]. 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[1600]. m ROGER [I] Seigneur de Montgommery, son of --- (-before [1048]).

2. GUNNORA ([950]-5 Jan 1031). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "in domo forestarii...hospiti suo...uxorem suam Sainfriam" rejected the advances of Richard I Comte [de Normandie] and sent “Gunnorem sororem suam” to his bed in her place[1601]. She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[1602]. It appears from Dudo de Saint-Quentin and Robert de Torigny[1603] that Gunnora was Richard I's mistress before she married him. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard married “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”, in the sentence which follows the record of the death of Richard´s first wife[1604]. 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[1605]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "Non Jan" of "Gonnoridis…comitissa Normannie"[1606]. 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]-Fécamp 20 Nov 996, bur Fécamp).

3. HERFAST . His parentage is confirmed by Guillaume of Jumièges who records the murder of [his son] “Osbernus...procurator principalis domus, Herfasti Gunnoris comitissæ fratris filius“[1607]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Osbernus Herfasti filius” was “de pago Calcegio oriundus”, although in the context of a passage which is anachronistic[1608]. m ---. The name of Herfast's wife is not known. Herfast & his wife had two children:

a) OSBERN de Crépon (-murdered Vandreuil [1038/42]). Orderic Vitalis records that “Osbernus Herfasti filius” was “de pago Calcegio oriundus”, although in the context of a passage which is anachronistic[1609]. "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1026], subscribed by "…Osbernus filius Arfast, Ranulfus frater eius"[1610]. "…Osbe filius Herfasti…" witnessed the charter dated to [1030] under which Robert II Duke of Normandy confirmed rights of Mont Saint-Michel[1611]. Steward (dapifer) of Robert II and Guillaume II Dukes of Normandy. "Rotberti comitis, Osberni dapiferi…" witnessed the charter dated to [1030/35] under which "Erchembaldus vicecomes" donated "prata de Salhus et…in Sarlosvilla jure hereditario" to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité de Rouen[1612]. An undated charter, recording a donation to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, records that "Osbernus dapifer" was killed "a suis hostibus"[1613]. He is named "Osberni cognomento Pacifici" in the charter dated to [1035/60] which records the donation by his widow and two sons to Rouen Sainte-Trinité for his soul[1614]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Osbernus...procurator principalis domus, Herfasti Gunnoris comitissæ fratris filius“ was killed while sleeping “in cubiculo ducis cum ipso in valle Rodoili” by “Willelmo Rogerii de Montegumeri filio”, dated to early in the reign of Duke Guillaume II from the context[1615]. m EMMA d'Ivry, daughter of RAOUL d'Ivry Comte de Bayeux & his wife Aubrée [Eremburge] --- (-after [1067]). Guillaume of Jumièges records that one of the daughters of “Rodulphum” and his wife “Erembergam...natam in quadam villa Calcini territorii...Cavilla” married “Osberno de Crepon de qua natus est Willelmus filius Osberni”[1616]. "Willelmus et frater eius Osbernus" donated "terram…Herchembaldus vicecomes et Turoldus, comitissæ Gunnoris camerarius" and revenue from land received by "Croco et Erchembaldus filii eiusdem Erchembaldi vicecomitis" to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen, with the consent of "matre eorum Emma", for the soul of "patris sui Osberni cognomento Pacifici", by charter dated to [1035/60][1617]. "Emma Osberni dapiferi uxore" is named as "dominis mei" with her two sons in the undated charter of Ansfredus[1618].

"Ansfredus, Osberni de Ou vicecomitis, postea…Hierosolimitani monachi, filius…cum conjuge mea Emma" offered "unicum filium meum…Goiffredum" as a monk at Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "dominis meis Emma, Osberni dapiferi uxore et filiis eius Willelmo et Osberno…Willelmo…principe Normannorum", by undated charter[1620]. Osbern & his wife had three children:

i) GUILLAUME FitzOsbern (-killed in battle Cassel, Flanders 22 Feb 1071, bur Abbaye de Cormeilles). Guillaume of Jumièges records that one of the daughters of “Rodulphum” and his wife “Erembergam...natam in quadam villa Calcini territorii...Cavilla” married “Osberno de Crepon de qua natus est Willelmus filius Osberni”[1621]. "Willelmus et frater eius Osbernus" donated "terram…Herchembaldus vicecomes et Turoldus, comitissæ Gunnoris camerarius" and revenue from land received by "Croco et Erchembaldus filii eiusdem Erchembaldi vicecomitis" to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen, with the consent of "matre eorum Emma", for the soul of "patris sui Osberni cognomento Pacifici", by charter dated to [1035/60], signed by "…Godeboldi, Daneboldi, Ansfredi filii Osberni, Gisleberti filii Turgisii…"[1622]. "Willelmo filio Osberni et…Ælicia eius uxore filia Rogeri de Thoneio" founded the abbey of Lyre by charter dated 1046[1623]. Orderic Vitalis names “...Willermus Osberni filius, ducis cognatus et dapifer...” among the leading lords under Guillaume II Duke of Normandy[1624]. The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Willelmo dapifero filio Osberni" contributed 60 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066[1625]. Orderic Vitalis names “...Guillermus Osberni filius...” among those who took part in the battle of Hastings[1626]. He was rewarded for his part in the conquest of England with estates in the Isle of Wight and county of Hereford, thereby becoming Earl of Hereford.

ii) OSBERN (-1101). "Willelmus et frater eius Osbernus" donated "terram…Herchembaldus vicecomes et Turoldus, comitissæ Gunnoris camerarius" and revenue from land received by "Croco et Erchembaldus filii eiusdem Erchembaldi vicecomitis" to the abbey of Sainte-Trinité at Rouen, with the consent of "matre eorum Emma", for the soul of "patris sui Osberni cognomento Pacifici", by charter dated to [1035/60][1627]. "Osberni frater eius [Willelmi]" witnessed a charter dated 1038 or after[1628].

"Willelmus Vernonensis filius Hugonis eiusque conjux Emma" donated property at "castrum Vernonense" to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, with the consent of "Willelmo rege Anglorum et duce Normannorum", by undated charter[1631]. Guillaume de Vernon, his son Hugues and his wife Emma donated property to Rouen Holy Trinity, confirmed in the charter dated to [1067][1632]. Her parentage is confirmed by a charter of Carisbrooke Priory, Isle of Wight which names “Johannem et Ricardum” as the two sons of “Willielmum filium Osberni marescallum…comitem Herefordiæ” who predeceased their father, and records that their inheritance went to “Ricardo de Rivers, nepoti prædicti Willielmi filii Osberni, tunc comiti Exoniæ”[1633]. m GUILLAUME de Vernon, son of HUGUES de Vernon & his wife --- (-[4 Jun ----]).

b) RAINULF . "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1026], subscribed by "…Osbernus filius Arfast, Ranulfus frater eius"[1634].

5. [AVELINE] . Guillaume de Jumièges records that "Gunnor" had “excepta Sainfria...duas sorores Wewam et Avelinam”, adding that “tertia...sororum Gunnoris comitissæ” [Aveline, from the context] married “Osberno de Bolebec”, by whom she had “Galterium Giffardum primum et Godefridum patrem Willelmi de Archis”[1638]. She and her three sisters, as well as their husbands, are named by Robert de Torigny[1639]. On the other hand, the Genealogia Fundatoris of Tintern Abbey, Monmouthshire names ”Turketillus…frater…Turulphi, cuius filius Hasculfus d´Harcourt” married “aliam sororem…comitissæ Gunnoræ” by whom he was father of “duos…filios…Walterum de Giffard primogenitum…”[1640]. As noted under Giffard, another primary source indicates that the wife of "Osbernus Giffardus" (assumed to refer to Osbern de Bolbec given that his son used the name Giffard) was named Hawise[1641].

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

RICHARD, son of GUILLAUME Comte [ de Normandie] & his first [wife] Sprota --- (Fécamp [932]-Fécamp 20 Nov 996, bur Fécamp[81]). Guillaume of Jumièges records that, after the rebel “Riulfus” was defeated at the battle of "Pratum-belli", a messenger arrived “a...Fiscannensis castri” and reported the birth of his son to “nobilissima puella Danico more sibi iuncta...Sprota” to Guillaume who ordered him to be sent immediately to “Baiocas...episcopo Henrico” for baptism as “Richardum”[82]. Flodoard records "filio ipsius Willelmi, nato de concubina Brittana" being granted the land of the Normans by King Louis after his father's death[83]. Richard is described as "a boy" on the death of his father by Dudo of Saint-Quentin[84]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that, after his father was killed, “puerum Richardum” was recalled from Bayeux and placed "sub tutela Bernardi Dani"[85]. He succeeded his father as RICHARD I "Sans Peur" Comte [de Normandie]. Orderic Vitalis records that "Willelmus dux" was killed in 942 “fraude Arnulphi Flandrensis satrapæ” and that “Ricardus filius eius...tunc decem annorum” was made “dux Normannorum” a position which he held for 54 years[86]. He used the title Comte de Rouen/comes Rothomagensium, and from 966 Marquis des Normands/marchio Normannorum[87]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Louis IV King of the West Franks, after the death of Richard´s father, marched on Rouen, was received by “Rodulphus et Bernardus atque Anslech totius Normannici ducatus tutores”, and captured Richard, who was taken to Laon but was freed by “Osmundus...consilio cum Yvone patre Willelmi de Belismo” and taken to “Silvanectis” where “Bernardus...comes” protected “nepotem suum Richardum”[88]. His forces defeated the army of Otto I King of Germany after it attempted to capture Rouen in revenge for the escape of comte Richard from captivity[89]. Comte Richard defeated French forces after King Lothaire of France captured Evreux. Dudo de Saint-Quentin records that, soon after succeeding, Richard suppressed the rebellion of Rodulf "Torta", who was banished and fled to Paris[90]. These events are not dated, but are recounted with the betrothal of Richard to the daughter of Hugues Duc des Francs, which is dated to 956. Hugues "le Grand" Duc des Francs nominated comte Richard as guardian of his son, the future Hugues "Capet" King of France, in 956, the arrangement being confirmed by Richard's betrothal to Hugues's sister[91]. He invited William of Volpiano, Italian abbot of Saint-Bénigne at Dijon, to reform the Norman abbeys, and installed monks at Mont-Saint-Michel and Fécamp[92]. He agreed a non-aggression pact with Æthelred II King of England 1 Mar 991, designed no doubt to prevent either side from sheltering Viking marauders[93]. "Ricardus filius Willelmi, dux Normannie" founded Louviers "in Ebroicensi pago" by undated charter[94]. Guillaume of Jumièges records the death “apud Fiscannum” in 996 of “Richardus dux primus”[95]. Orderic Vitalis records the death in 996 of "Ricardo seniore"[96]. The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Ricardus…filius Willelmi et alius Ricardus" were buried "Fiscanni"[97].

m firstly (betrothed 956, Rouen 960) EMMA, daughter of HUGUES "le Grand" Duc des Francs, Comte de Paris & his third wife Hedwig of Germany ([943]-after 19 Mar 968). The Liber Modernorum Regum Francorum records the marriage in 956 of "Richardus filius Guillelmi principis Normannorum" with "filiam Hugonis ducis", although she is not named[98]. Guillaume of Jumièges records the betrothal of “Hugo dux...filiam suam...Emmam” and “puerum Richardum”, with the consent of “Bernardi Silvanectensis”, and in a later passage their marriage[99]. No direct proof has yet been identified that Emma was the daughter of her father's third marriage. However, this is likely given that betrothals at the time normally took place when the female partner was still a child or in early adolescence. Guillaume of Jumièges records the death without children of “Emma uxor eius filia Hugonis Magni”[100].

m secondly ([before 989]) GUNNORA, daughter of --- ([950]-5 Jan 1031). Guillaume de Jumièges records that "in domo forestarii...hospiti suo...uxorem suam Sainfriam" rejected the advances of Richard I Comte [de Normandie] and sent “Gunnorem sororem suam” to his bed in her place[101]. Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard married “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”, in the sentence which follows the record of the death of Richard´s first wife[102]. According to Robert de Torigny, the marriage took place to legitimise Richard and Gunnora's son Robert to permit his appointment as Archbishop of Rouen[103]. It appears from Dudo de Saint-Quentin that Gunnora was Richard I's mistress before she married him. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gunnor" as the wife of "dux Normannie primus Richardus"[104]. "Duke Richard [II]" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel by charter dated to [1024/26], subscribed by "…Gonnor matris comitis…"[105]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1030 of "Gunnor comitissa uxor primi Ricardi"[106]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "Non Jan" of "Gonnoridis…comitissa Normannie"[107].

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

1. RICHARD (-23 Aug 1026, bur Fécamp). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum...et Robertum atque Malgerium aliosque duos” as the sons of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”[108]. He succeeded his father in 996 as RICHARD II "le Bon/l'Irascible" Comte de Normandie. Duke of Normandy [1015].
- see below.

2. ROBERT (-1037). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum...et Robertum atque Malgerium aliosque duos” as the sons of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”[109]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Robertus archiepiscopus Rothomagensis" as brother of "dux Normannie Richardus II"[110]. He is named as brother of Duke Richard II by Orderic Vitalis[111]. Comte d'Evreux. Archbishop of Rouen 989, after his parents married to legitimise him in order to regularise his appointment according to Robert de Torigny[112]. An agreement between the abbots of Jumièges and Bougeuil concerning an exchange of land in Poitou, by charter dated [13 Apr/4 Apr] 1012, is subscribed by "Richardus…filius Ricardi principi magni…Robertus archiepiscopus…ecclesie Rotomagensis et Vuillelmus et Malgerus fratres Richardi comitis…"[113]. Guillaume of Jumièges records the succession of Robert after the death of his brother, his siege of “Ebroicum...urbem” due to his enmity for “Robertum archipræsulum” who fled to “Robertum regem Francorum” before being reconciled with Duke Robert[114]. Robert of Torigny records the death in 1037 of "Robertus…archiepiscopus Rothomagensis"[115]. - COMTES d'EVREUX.

3. ROBERT ["Danus"] (-12 Aug [985/89]). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum...et Robertum atque Malgerium aliosque duos” as the sons of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”[116]. 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[117]. Houts names Robert “Danus” as one of these unnamed sons of Richard but does not cite the corresponding source[118]. The necrology of Saint-Père-en-Vallée records the death "II Id Aug" of "Robertus puer filius comitis Richardi"[119].

4. MAUGER (-[1033/40]). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum...et Robertum atque Malgerium aliosque duos” as the sons of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”[120]. 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[121]. An agreement between the abbots of Jumièges and Bougeuil concerning an exchange of land in Poitou, by charter dated [13 Apr/4 Apr] 1012, is subscribed by "Richardus…filius Ricardi principi magni…Robertus archiepiscopus…ecclesie Rotomagensis et Vuillelmus et Malgerus fratres Richardi comitis…"[122]. Comte de Corbeil, by right of his wife. - COMTES de CORBEIL.

5. son . Guillaume of Jumièges names “Richardum...et Robertum atque Malgerium aliosque duos” as the sons of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”[123]. 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[124]. No reference has been found to the name of this son.

6. EMMA ([985]-Winchester 14 Mar 1052, bur Winchester Cathedral). Guillaume de Poitou names “genitrix Emma filia Ricardi primi, genitor Ædelredus rex Anglorum” as parents of “Edwardus ac Alveradus”[125]. Guillaume of Jumièges names “Emma...secunda Hadvis...tertia Mathildis” as the three daughters of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”, adding that Emma married “Edelredo regi Anglorum” by whom she was mother of “rex Edwardum et Alvredum”[126]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Emma Anglorum regina" as sister of "dux Normannie Richardus II"[127]. Emma was described by Henry of Huntingdon as "Emma Normanorum gemma"[128], although it is not known whether this was a particular indication of her beauty or mere hyperbole. She was known as ÆLFGIFU in England[129]. Her first husband sent her to her brother's court in Normandy in 1013 after the invasion of Svend King of Denmark[130]. She was living in Normandy in 1017 when King Æthelred's successor King Canute proposed marriage to her. Guillaume of Jumièges records that, after the death of “Edelredus rex”, “Emmam reginam” married “rex...Chunutus...Christiano more”, and names their children “Hardechunutum postmodum regem Danorum et filiam...Gunnildem quæ nupsit Henrico Romanorum Imperatori”[131]. Roger of Wendover records the marriage in Jul 1018 of "Cnuto" and "ducem Ricardum…Emmam sororem suam et regis Ethelredi relictam"[132]. 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[133]. 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[134]. Whatever the truth of this, King Edward did confiscate her property in 1043 according to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle[135]. She seems to have spent the last years of her life in retirement in Winchester[136]. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records the death of "Ælfgifu Emma, the mother of king Edward and of king Harthacnut" in 1052[137]. m firstly (betrothed 1000, 1002[138]%29 as his [second/third] wife, ÆTHELRED II King of England, son of EDGAR "the Peacable" King of England & his second wife Ælfthryth ([966]-London 23 Apr 1016, bur Old St Paul's Cathedral). m secondly (2 or 31 Jul 1017) CANUTE King of England, son of SVEND I "Tveskæg/Forkbeard" King of Denmark & his first wife Šwiętosława [Gunhild] of Poland ([995]-Shaftesbury, Dorset 12 Nov 1035, bur Winchester Cathedral). King of Denmark 1018, King of Norway 1028.

7. HAVISE (-21 Feb 1034). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Emma...secunda Hadvis...tertia Mathildis” as the three daughters of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”, adding that Havise married “Goiffredo Britannorum comiti” by whom she had “Alanum et Eudonem duces”[139]. 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[140]. "…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"[141]. The Chronico Kemperlegiensi records the death "1034 IX Kal Mar" of "Haduisa comitissa Britanniæ, vidua Gauffridi"[142]. m (996) GEOFFROY I Duke of Brittany, son of CONAN I "le Tort" Duke of Brittany & his wife Ermengarde d'Anjou ([980]-20 Nov 1008).

8. MATHILDE (-[1005]). Guillaume of Jumièges names “Emma...secunda Hadvis...tertia Mathildis” as the three daughters of Richard and his wife “Gunnor ex nobilissima Danorum prosapia ortam”, adding that Mathilde married “Odoni comiti” by whom she was childless, a later passage stating that her dowry was “medietatem Dorcasini castri”[143]. m ([1003/04]%29 as his first wife, EUDES [II] Comte de Blois, son of EUDES [I] Comte de Blois & his wife Berthe de Bourgogne [Welf] ([982/83]-15 Nov 1037).

Richard had five illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:

9. GEOFFREY [Godfroy] de Brionne ([953]-[1015]). Guillaume of Jumièges names “unus Godefridus, alter...Willelmus” as the two sons of Richard “ex concubinis”, adding that Geoffroy was “comes...Aucensis”[144]. Robert of Torigny names "unus Godefridus alter…Willermus" as sons of "Ricardi primi ducis Normanniæ" by concubines[145]. He is named son of duke "Richard the elder" by Orderic Vitalis, who specifies that his father gave Brionne "with the whole county" to him[146]. Comte d'Eu after 996. - COMTES d'EU.

10. GUILLAUME (978-1057). According to Dudo of Saint-Quentin[147], he was an illegitimate son of Richard I by a mistress other than Gunnora. Guillaume of Jumièges names “unus Godefridus, alter...Willelmus” as the two sons of Richard “ex concubinis”[148]. Robert of Torigny names "unus Godefridus alter…Willermus" as sons of "Ricardi primi ducis Normanniæ" by concubines, recording that Guillaume was first "comes…Aucensis" and after the death of his brother became "comes Brionnensis"[149]. An agreement between the abbots of Jumièges and Bougeuil concerning an exchange of land in Poitou, by charter dated [13 Apr/4 Apr] 1012, is subscribed by "Richardus…filius Ricardi principi magni…Robertus archiepiscopus…ecclesie Rotomagensis et Vuillelmus et Malgerus fratres Richardi comitis…"[150]. Comte d'Hiémois. Comte d'Eu. - COMTES d'EU.

11. ROBERT (-after [1015]). Comte d'Avranches. His parentage is established by André de Fleury´s Vita Gauzlini which records that “Rotbertus Abricatinensium comes” held “de sui jure patrimonii ecclesiam sancti Hylarii”, that after his death it was held by “eius filius Richardus” who was banished “a proprio avunculo Richardo” [Richard II Duke of Normandy][151]. - COMTES d'AVRANCHES.

12. BEATRIX (-18 Jan 1035). Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard had two daughters “ex concubinis”, but does not name them[152]. The Chronicon Gaufredi Vosiensis records that "sorore Richardi Normannorum Ducis" was the wife of "Archambaldus Chamba-Putrida" and mother of "Ebolum"[153], but this is difficult to sustain chronologically. The Miracles of Sainte-Foy attribute a miracle to "Lady Beatrice his [Lord Ebalus] wife…soon to lose him through divorce" involving her freeing pilgrims from captivity near Turenne[154]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage more precisely has not yet been identified. She returned to Normandy after her divorce and was appointed Abbess of Montivilliers [1035][155]. m (before 1001, divorced) as his first wife, EBLES Vicomte de Turenne, son of ARCHAMBAUD "Jambe-Pourrie" Vicomte de Comborn & his wife Sulpicie de Turenne (-after [1021]).

13. daughter . Guillaume of Jumièges records that Richard had two daughters “ex concubinis”, but does not name them[156]. same person as…? [PAPIA ). Robert de Torigny names "Papiam uxorem Walteri [error for Gilberti?] de Sanct Walerico et Aeliz uxorem Ranulfi Vicecomitis de Baioeis" as the two daughters of Duke Richard III (see below)[157]. In the case of Papia, it is clearly chronologically impossible for her to have been Duke Richard III´s daughter assuming that it is correct, as asserted by Orderic Vitalis[158], that her grandson, Richard de Heugleville, helped Guillaume II Duke of Normandy in the 1054 rebellion when he was already old enough for Geoffroy de Neufmarché to be his son-in-law. Orderic Vitalis records that “Gulbertus cognomento advocatus de Sancto Gualerico” married “filiam Ricardi ducis”[159]. It is not clear from this text to which duke Richard he refers, but in a later passage the same source confirms her name Papia daughter of "Ricardi iunioris ducis Normannorum" (which does suggest that he too is referring to Duke Richard III)[160]. Neither of the passages in Orderic Vitalis names Papia's mother. It is tempting to imagine that she was the second wife of Duke Richard II of the same name. However, it is also chronologically inconsistent with the 1054 references to Papia's grandson for Papia to have been the daughter of Duke Richard II. Assuming that all this speculation is correct, Papia must have been born in the early years of the 11th century and therefore, if she was the daughter of any Duke Richard, her father must have been Duke Richard I. m GILBERT Advocate of Saint Valéry, son of ---.]

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

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.

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.

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.

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 ancestry is provided elsewhere on this chart.

Her paternal grandparents were Herfast de Crepon Arque and <Unknown>; her maternal grandparents were King of Sweden Olof (Mitkg) Bjornsson and Ingeberg Thrandsdottir.
