The line to the dukes of Normandy comes through Isabel St. Liz, andthe line
to Charlemagne comes through her husband, William Mauduit. The linesmerge
again with the marriage of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, and Emma,daughter of
Hugh "The Grand," who was--in all but name--King of France. His son,Hugh
Capet, later assumed the title, and primogeniture began in the Frenchline of
kings.
The two lines met again later with the marriage of Adele, daughterof King
Robert II, and Richard III, Duke of Normandy.
Richard was betrothed to Emma for some time but did not marry heruntil
about 960, after the death of her father, Hugh the Great, in 956.Richard was
the guardian of Hugh's son, the Duke of Paris, and eventually marriedEmma to
strengthen his position. He did not treat her unkindly, he merelyloved Gunnor.
"Poor Emma passed her life at Rouen alone and solitary, andeventually she
pined away and died about the year 962," Onslow says.
