    Robert I, by name ROBERT The MAGNIFICENT, or The DEVIL, French ROBERT le MAGNIFIQUE, or le DIABLE (d. July 1035, Nicaea), duke of Normandy (1027-35), the younger son of Richard II of Normandy and the father, by his mistress Arlette, of William the Conqueror of England. On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later.

    A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Fran?ais, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]

    Roots: Robert I, Duke of Normandy. Married (Dan ish 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 cal ls him erroneously calls him Richard I.
    Robert was called both "The Magnificen t" and also "Robert the Devil," because of his "reckless and violent deeds of audacity, whether in private life or in warlike expeditions."

    For example the Duke of Normandy was looking out at his fortress. He saw a beautiful, tanner's daughter soaking animals skins in water. She had hiked up her skirt. The duke liked what he saw. He sent a soldier to pick her up. She said she would go to the duke's castle if she rode the soldier's horse. The soldier agreed. She borrowed a nice dress. Then rode the soldier's horse side-saddle. She and the duke had sex and the future William the Conqueror king of England was conceived.

    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 Contevi lle 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 ma rked by signs of "eccentricity, if not unsoundness of mind."

    Note: Robert contributed to the restoration of Henry King of France to his throne, and received from the gratitude of that monarch, the Vexin, as an additional to his patrimonial domains. In the 8th year of his reign, curiosity or devotion induced him to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where the fatigues of the journey and the heat of the climate so impaired his consitution he died on his way home.

    ============================================

    CHAPTER I: THE CONQUEROR
    The Conqueror and His Companions
    by J.R. Planche, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.

    His father was Robert I, Duke of Normandy, styled by some "the Magnificent," from his liberalities and love of splendour; "the Jerusalemite," in consequence of his pilgrimage; and by others less courteously "the Devil," though wherefore or at what period has not been satisfactorily ascertained. From a passage in "L'Estoire de Seint ?dward le Rei," it would appear there was a tradition in the family of Rollo, of one of his descendants (Richard I?) having beaten and bound his Satanic majesty,

    "E Duc Richard de'apres li vint,
    Ki li diable ateint e tint
    E le venqait e le lia."

    Robert was the second son of Richard II, Duke of Normandy, by his wife Judith, daughter of Conan le Tort (the Crooked), Count of Rennes, and sister of the half blood to Geoffrey, Duke of Brittany; and it was during the lifetime of his father, and while Robert was only Count of the Hiemois, and it may be in his nonage that he first saw Herleve, Harlett, or Arlot (for it is written in all manner of ways), daughter of a burgess of Falaise, an accident the results of which were the subjugation of England and the succession of a line of kings unsurpassed for valour and power by the greatest sovereigns in Europe.


    The Conqueror and His Companions
    by J.R. Planche, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.

    "... Robert's lawful marriage with Estrith, sister of Canute the Great, and widow of UIf, a distinguished Dane, who was murdered by order of his brother-in-law in 1025. Robert is said to have ill used and repudiated her, at what exact period is unknown; but he had no issue by her, which might possibly be one cause of his displeasure."
