Family Notes
[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
The problem has been and maybe still is that William the
Conqueror and
Matilda (dau. of Baldwin V of Flanders & Adelaide of France)
had relatively
great difficulty is obtaining a papal dispensation for their
marriage. It
was not immediately obvious that there was any impediment that
needed a
dispensation. This problem of what the relationship between
Matilda and
William was that required a dispensation generated a vigorous
debate earlier
this century. Weis or Weis's source (as you report it) goes for
a theory
that makes Matilda and William cousins of sorts.
