General Notes

William I, "Longsword", b. ca. 891 probably Rouen, c. 927 succeeded to Duchy of Normandy, c. 930 the Bretons rebelled, he subdued them, taking Brittany, the Channel Islands, the Contentin, and the Averanchin; killed in treacherous ambush 17 Dec 942 by servants of Theobald of Blois and Arnulf of Flanders. He m. (1) (Danish wife) Sprota, a Breton; m. (2) Luitgarde de Vermandois, n.i. [no issue], killed 942 by Louis, son of Charles III "the Simple", daughter of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois and Troyes. [Ancestral Roots]

Note: There is an apparent error in Luitgarde's death date of 942. See notes under her. I think the clause ",killed 942 by Louis, son of Charles III "the simple" belongs to William's death and not to Luitgarde's, even though she is the subject of the sentence before & after the clause. I am going to remove the death date as a sourced alternative. It is an obvious error.

William Longsword was killed in a rebellion of Rioulf of St. Savour in
933. He was supported by AnslechTurstain one of three barons who alone
remained faithful and rendered military assistance to the Duke, both
descendants of Eisten Glumru by different wives. When William was
assassinated the guardianship  of his new-born son, DukeRobert,was given
to three men, one of whom was Anslech Turstain. See notes under Anslech.
From: The History and Pedigree of the Washington Family, by Albert Welles

William I, "Longsword", b. ca. 891 probably Rouen, c. 927 succeeded toDuchy of Normandy, c. 930 the Bretons rebelled, he subdued them, takingBrittany, the Channel Islands, the Contentin, and the Averanchin; killedin treacherous ambush 17 Dec 942 by servants of Theobald of Blois andArnulf of Flanders. He m. (1) (Danish wife) Sprota, a Breton; m. (2)Luitgarde de Vermandois, n.i. [no issue], killed 942 by Louis, son ofCharles III "the Simple", daughter of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois andTroyes. [Ancestral Roots]

Note: There is an apparent error in Luitgarde's death date of 942. Seenotes under her. I think the clause ",killed 942 by Louis, son of CharlesIII "the simple" belongs to William's death and not to Luitgarde's, eventhough she is the subject of the sentence before & after the clause. I amgoing to remove the death date as a sourced alternative. It is an obviouserror.
