At the battle of Hastings in 1066, when William defeated King Harold II of England, Baldwin was in command of the French troops. [House of Forrester, p. 4-5] After William the Conqueror ascended the throne, he gave an old English fort known as Etherstone to Baldwin. Baldwin later made the fort into a castle, and it was occupied for many generations by Foresters. With Baldwin settling at Etherstone and with his son Richard settling in Scotland, Forester roots were put down in the British Isles for generations to come. [House of Forrester, p. 5] !Tab. Souv.

For hundreds of years before 1066, England had been ruled by Anglo-Saxon kings. When Edward "the Confessor" died in 1066, William of Normandy saw his chance for a successful invasion of England. He built a fleet, attracted many knights, and obtained the pope's blessing. He gained victory at the Battle of Hastings and was crowned King of England on Christmas of 1066. During the next few years, William presided over a gradual redistribution of land in England. Saxon rebellions led to the confiscation of lands, which the Norman Barons received. As a result of this Norman invasion, the English people today are of both Norman and Anglo-Saxon extraction. Called "Le Debbonair".

(121:23), (162:23), (169:23). 1 Burial: Holy Trinity Chruch, Caen, Normandy Note: An interesting story is told in Cokayne's "Complete Peerage" (Gloucester). According to the Tewkesbury Abbey Chronicle, Brictric, son of Algar, otherwise known as Brictric Mawr, a great thegn of the time of Edward the Confessor, held, with Tewkesbury, various lordships in Worcester, Gloucester, Somerset, and other counties. Maud [Matilda], afterwards wife of WILLIAM THE CONQUERER, in her youth wished to marry Brictric, who refused her. When she became Queen, she imprisoned him, and on his death shortly afterwards his manors, the (later) honour of Gloucester, were given to her. For many years it was assumed that Gundred, who married William de Warrene, was a daughter of William I and Matilda (as indicated in The Plantagenet Ancestry). However it is now known that Gundred was a daughter of Gherbod the Fleming (as indicated in Ancestral Roots). The following information strongly suggests that Gundred's mother was Matilda (thus the mistaken notion that she was daughter of William I). -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- copied from Bill Crawford's ancestry: crawfolk data base on World Connect Project, rootsweb.com: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- Had Matilda of Flanders as many husbands as Adelaide, Countess of Ponthieu, and, like her, issue by each? What was the real cause of the inhibition of her marriage with William, Duke of Normandy, — its delay for six years? What truth is there in the story of her unreturned affection for the Angio-Saxon Brihtric Meaw, and of her vindictive conduct to him after she became Queen of England? I have hesitated to believe in the popular tradition that Duke William grossly assaulted the daughter of Baldwin in the street or in her own chamber, not that I have any doubt about his being capable of such an outrage, but because he was too politic to commit it, and she was not the woman to have forgiven it, assuming that the offence was the simple refusal of his hand on the ground of his illegitimacy. It is obvious, however, that the early life of Matilda is involved in mystery, and it is highly probable that a clearer insight into it would enable us to account for much which we now reject as legend, or fail to reconcile with acknowledged facts. If there be any foundation for the story of William's brutality, the outburst of ungovernable fury might have been due to a much greater provocation than has been assigned for it. Brihtric, the son of Algar or Alfar, sumamed Meaw (Snow), from the extreme fairness of his complexion, an Anglo-Saxon Thegn, possessor of large domains in England, had been sent on an embassy from King Edward the Confessor to the Connt of Flanders. Matilda, we are told, fell desperately in love with him, and offered herself to him in marriage! Either disgusted by her forwardness, or preferring another, he declined the flattering proposal. "Hell hath no fury like a woman foiled," and she kept her wrath warm till she was in a position to ruin the man she had so passionately loved. She had no sooner become the Queen of England than she induced William to confiscate, on some pretence, all Brihtric's estates, and obtained the greater proportion for herself. The unfortunate Thegn was arrested at his house at Hanley, in Worcestershire, on the very day Saint Wulfstan had consecrated a chapel of his building, dragged to Winchester, and died in a dungeon! The truth of this story is supported by the impartial evidence of Domesday, in which Hanley and the principal manors held by Brihtric in the time of King Edward are recorded as the possessions of Queen Matilda, and the remainder passed to Fitz Hamon. After her hand had been rejected by the noble Saxon, it is presumed she became the wife of a Fleming, named Gherbod, who appears to have held the hereditary office of Advocate of the Abbey of Saint Bertin, in St. Omers, and by whom she had at least two children, viz., Gherbod, to whom William gave the earldom of Chester, and Gundred, "the sister of Gherbod," and wife of William de Warren. Was this a clandestine or an informal marriage, which, as it has never been acknowledged by any chronicler, contemporary or other, might have been unknown to the Duke of Normandy, when he proposed to one whom he believed to be the maiden daughter of the Count of Flanders, and the corporal chastisement inflicted, however unworthy of a man, passed over, sub silentio, for prudential reasons, by the parties wlio had been guilty of a disgraceful suppression of facts? The subsequent marriage under such circumstances will awaken no surprise in any one who has studied the character of William. Utterly unscrupulous, destitute of every generous, noble, or delicate feeling, every action of his life was dictated by POLICY alone. An alliance with the Count of Flanders might be considered by the crafty schemer sufficiently advantageous to warrant his overlooking any objectionable antecedents in the conduct of a granddaughter of a king of France, his first discovery of which had provoked his savage nature into a momentary ebullition of fury. Her being the mother of two children was a point in her favour with a man whose sole motive for marrying was the perpetuation of a dynasty, and the fair prospect of legitimate issue, in whose veins the blood of the Capets should enrich that of the Furrier of Falaise, would overcome any hesitation at espousing the widow of an Advocate of St. Bertin. On the other hand, Count Baldwin would be too happy to embrace the opportunity of reinstating his daughter in a position befitting her birth, and, as well as the lady herself, gladly condone past insults for future advantages and the hope of smothering, in the splendour of a ducal wedding, the awkward whispers of scandal. I have said thus much simply to show the view that may be taken of these mysterious circumstances, in opposition to the rose-coloured representations of some modern historians, who, upon no stronger evidence, elevate the Conqueror into a model husband, and describe Matilda as the perfection of womankind.

[Ped. of Charlemagne, Vol. III] !Described as "minute". [History of England] !About 1049 William began negotiations with her father for her hand in marriage. Emperor Henry III was displeased that her father was making friends with William and convinced his ally, Pope Leo IX, at the council of Rheims in October 1049 to forbid the marriage, presumably on the grounds of consanguinity. Despite the papal ban, they were married in 1052/3. It is unlikely that this was a love match, but rather that William valued the alliance, as he was marrying somewhat above himself. !William built a monastery and nunnery at Caen as penance for their incestuous marriage. [William I and the Norman Conquest] !Her out-of-wedlock child may be why her father was willing to allow her to marry "below herself" and her cousin at that. !Westminster, 11 May 1068. Matilda was crowned queen of England in the abbey. Unlike previous queens she was acclaimed as queen ordained by God. The marriage is a byword for fidelity. They are oddly matched, he being nearly 6' tall and she only just over 4'. When he was 18 she rejected his proposals, saying that she would marry no bastard. According to popular belief, he rode straight to her palace, forced his way in and dragged her round the room by her hair. This won her heart. Three years later the pope banned them from marrying because they were distant cousins. Thanks to Lanfrance, abbot of Bec, the ban was lifted, and they were married about 1050. She is the only person who had defied William with impunity. [Chronicle of the Royal Family, p. 34] Matilda evidently kept the Foresters close to the throne for many years. Foresters played an important part in the service of their kings in Britain and Scotland from 1066-1650 and in some instances even into the 18th and 19th centuries. It is worthy of note that Matilda was the ancestral grandmother of every British king or queen from her children with William the Conqueror to the House of Stuart.

Also killed his nephew and captured his sister-in-law in this battle. The victory made him Count of Flanders but destroyed his relationship with his brother-in-law, William I. Thereafter Robert's main interest was in his imperial fiefs and in expansion eastwards. He relied for the protection of Flanders on his feudal lord, the king of France, rather than on William I. The relationship between King Philip I and Robert was confirmed upon the marriage of his stepdaughter, Bertha of Holland, to the king. He gave his eldest daughter in marriage to Cnut II of Denmark. [Timetables of History] FOSTER, BURR LINES !William I was affronted by the slaying of his steward and friend, William fitzOsbern, who had come to the aid of Arnulf III and Richildis, who Robert had killed or captured at Bavinchove, near Cassel. Thereafter relations between the two were strained even though they were brothers-in-law. Moreover, Robert, whose main interest was in his imperial fiefs and in expansion eastwards, preferred to rely for the protection of Flanders on his feudal lord, the king of France, rather than on his brother-in-law. He lengthened the breach between the two by giving his daughter in marriage to Cnut II of Denmark. [William I and the Norman Conquest] Used the tactic of feigning flight, then turning to overwhelm his pursuing enemy at the battle of Cassel in 1071.
