Roots: Richard I, "the Fearless," b. Fecamp, ca. 933; named father's heir
29 May 942. Married first (Danish wife) Gunnor but betrothed ca. 945 and
eventually married 960 to Emma. After Emma's death he married (Christian
marriage) Gunnor to legitimize their children.
Sureties: Richard I, the Fearless, Duke of Normandy.
Richard "sans Peur," Third Duke of Normandy, 942-996.
The line to the dukes of Normandy comes through Isabel St. Liz, and the line
to Charlemagne comes through her husband, William Mauduit. The lines merge
again with the marriage of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, and Emma, daughter of
Hugh "The Grand," who was--in all but name--King of France. His son, Hugh
Capet, later assumed the title, and primogeniture began in the French line of
kings.
The two lines met again later with the marriage of Adele, daughter of King
Robert II, and Richard III, Duke of Normandy.
Richard was betrothed to Emma for some time but did not marry her until
about 960, after the death of her father, Hugh the Great, in 956. Richard was
the guardian of Hugh's son, the Duke of Paris, and eventually married Emma to
strengthen his position. He did not treat her unkindly, he merely loved Gunnor.
"Poor Emma passed her life at Rouen alone and solitary, and eventually she
pined away and died about the year 962," Onslow says.

Davis: Richard I, the Fearless, Duke of Normandy from 942-996.
Norr: Richard I, the Fearless (san Peur), born about 933, 3rd duke. Married
(1) Agnes, daughter of Hugh le Grand and had issue. Married (2) Gunora, born
about 952, sister of a forester's wife whom Richard desired but who tricked him
with her younger sister.

Roots: (Danish wife) Gunnor, died 1027 or 1031, daughter of forester
of Arques.
K. calls her Gonnor de Crepon. Norr: Gunnor (Gunora), (952)-1031.
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.

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.
2. Douglas, David C. _William the Conqueror_: The Norman Impact Upon
