Note:
[Marshall.FTW]
William had supported Louis IV and attempted to establish his protection over Brittany, There remains some doubt about William's claim to the whole Breton peninsula. C.930 the Bretons rebelled, he subdued them, taking Brittany, the Channel Islands, the Contentin, and the Averanchin(933); killed in treacherous ambush 17 Dec. 942 by servants of Theobald of Blois and Arnulf of Flanders. His son Richard, still a minor, succeeded him.
Note: Isenburg inserts a Robert between Rollo and William I, and makes Robert the conqueror of Bayeux, husb. of Poppa, and 1st Duke. Chronology favors the descent given by Moriarty and Onslow. It seems probable that Robert was another name for Rollo. If there really was a Robert as 1st Duke, then [ROBERT I] would be ROBERT II, which is not the case.
