WILLIAM I who in 997 succeeded to the Seigneurie of Belesme, which was joined to the County of Perche; received the Castle of Alen‡on and its dependencies and became Count of Alen‡on; died 1028; married MATHILDA, of the race of Ganelon
WILLIAM I. succeeded his father in the seigneury of Belˆsme, to which he added the county of Perche; and Duke Richard II. gave him the castle of Alen‡on and its dependencies. And it is thought that the county of Domfront was also given to him, since he built the castle of that name, and founded about the year 1025, in the neighboring forest, the abbey of Lonlai. Notwithstanding this act of piety, William was none the less unprincipled in his character. Envious and sanguinary, this disposition had made him commit great disorders.
