• Notes

  Duke Robert's child William was borne to him by Herleva, unmarried daughter of a wealthy citizen of Falaise, France. However, later she was given in marriage to a French noble. Robert had no other sons and later persuaded the Norman barons to recognize William as his legitimate heir. Notes from "The Lives of the Kings & Queens of England" edited by Antonia Fraser, pub. 1998 University of California Press, p.20.
