Children:

Notes:

Duke of Normandy
The Conqueror
King of England, 1066-87.

The illegitimate son of Robert I of Normandy, he was unwillingly accepted as Robert's heir, succeeding to the dukedom of Normandy in 1035. Supported initially by Henry I, king of France, he consolidated his position in Normandy against hostile neighbors throughout the 1050s and expanded his territory in 1060. Having apparently been designated Edward the Confessor's successor as king of England, William secured the agreement of Harold, Earl of Wessex to his accession. Harold's assumption of kingship was the direct cause of William's invasion of Engalnd and the ensuing Battle of Hastings (1066) . Ruthlessly crushing internal resistance and defeating the invading Danes, he completed his conquest by 1070. He established stable government through astute land distribution and by instituting feudalism in England. One of the greatest achievements of his reign was the compilation of the Domesday Book (1986).

Note: His grandmother was Gunnor/Gonnor (b. Abt 950), who was dau. of Herbastus, Sire of Crepon (b. abt 911), and sister of Herfast (male), Sainfria, Weiwa, and Awelina (females). I wasn't sure from camfield@olympus.net's posting which side this was on. He also mentioned having a succession of Danish Kings from Frode VII (d. 548) through Harald II (d. 981), purported to be father of Gunnor (but he discounts that one).

Responding to threats against Rome and his own sovereignty, he led two armies into Italy and captured the Lombard throne (773). In reprisal to constant Saxon raids, he began a long (772-785) and brutal conquest of Saxony, finally securing it for Christianity and Frankish law. He also deposed the disloyal duke of Bavaria and defeated the Avars of the middel Danube (791-96, 804), adding new lands to his empire.

A man of great power and enthusiasm, he initiated the intellectual, artistic, and ecclesiastical awakening known as the Carolingian Renaissance. His empire, though lacking sufficient economic and political structure to maintain unity after his death, had combined the Germanic peoples for the first time. He was canonized in 1165.
