Helena "le Bon"

An unnamed daughter (not Helena) of 'Richard II "the Good", Duke of Normandy Duke Richard II] or Duke Richard III is said to have married Waleran de Saint-Clair (Burke's Extinct Peerages (1866) ). She is sometimes called “le Bon” from the name of her supposed father, Richard II. She is not the same person as the Helena who is said to be mother of Hubert Huse.

Helena

Wife of Waldron St. Clair (Clare)

DOCUMENTATION WANTED!

Please post.

Some people list Helen as the daughter of Richard III, Duke of Normandy and Adèle, but there are no sources found to support that Richard had another daughter.

Others list Helen as the daughter of Richard's unnamed mistress and thus as half sister to his illegitimate daughter Alix.
