"When the white ship was wrecked on the deadly rock a boat was launcedand William, the King's [William I Beauclerc] only legitimate son,was rowed to safety. The cries ofhis half-sister the Countess ofPerche induced him to return to the wreckwhere they sank together.This was considered by some to be punishment for Henry's sins of lustin having so many illegitimate offspring.
