Roots 121, 121E, 130; France, Vol. 1 (1868), by M. Guizot and Madame Guizot de Witt; AIS; Davis. Roots: Robert I, Duke of Normandy. Married (Danish wife) Arlette (or Herleve). Left issue by this mistress. K: Robert I "le Magnifique ou le Diable." Count d'Hieme. Duke of Normandy. In line 1350 he calls him erroneously calls him Richard I. Robert was called both "The Magnificent" and also "Robert the Devil," because of his "reckless and violent deeds of audacity, whether in private life or in warlike expeditions." In 1034 or 1035, after a "fair life from the political point of view, but one full of turbulence and moral irregularity" he undertook a pilgrimage, barefoot, to Jerusalem "to expiate his sins..." The Norman prelates and barons urged him not to go because they believed he might die on the pilgrimage (they were right) and he had no successor. Robert, therefore, named his bastard son, William, as his successor and prevailed upon King Henry I of France to sanction the arrangement--a decision the king was later to regret. Guizot says Robert I was the fifth in succession from Rollo, the first ruler of Normandy. William was named after William Longsword, the son and successor of Rollo. So the Norman reign went from Rollo, to William Longsword, Richard I, Richard II, Richard III, Robert I and William, who would become William the Conqueror and, subsequently, William I, King of England. Richard III and Robert I were sons of Richard II, according to a chart in Butler. Robert instructed Herluin (another spelling) de Conteville to marry his mistress, Harlette, if he failed to return from the Crusade. Herluin did so, and they had children. Dukes says Robert's last years were marked by signs of "eccentricity, if not unsoundness of mind." AIS: Robert, Duke of Normandy, born about 995, Normandy, France; died 2 July 1035, Nicaea, Turkey.
