About Henry of Normandy

Caution: The given name, the year of death, and the place of burial are not rooted in primary or secondary sources. Cawley makes a conjecture about why Weir's named this son "Henry". Is this supposed Henry one and the same as Henry 'Beauclerc'? Unless an unseen and unread 12th-c. manuscript is found, the mystery will never be solved.

Medlands (25 Dec 2021) Normandy Dukes
[HENRI] de Normandie (1101 after Jun-). Orderic Vitalis records the birth of a son to Robert and his wife in the year after the marriage was consummated in Normandy in Sep 1100[310]. He does not name this son, but records the birth of the couple's son Guillaume "in the third year after his parents' marriage" in a later passage (see below). Weir names “Henry” as second son of Duke Robert[311]. The primary source on which this name is based has not yet been identified. Presumably Weir is referring to this older son of Duke Robert. It is supposed that this son died young as no further source has been identified in which he is named.



This Wikitree link profile gives an unsubstantiated death year of 1104. The FMG and Genelogics.org links it cites do not support the guesstimate.
