RESEARCH NOTES:
The greater part of our information about Gunnor and her relations is
derived from those additions to the History of William of Jumieges for which
Robert de Rotigny is responsible. It is Robert who preserved the story of how
Richard I of Normandy became enamoured of the beautiful Senfrie, wife of one
of his foresters, and how Senfrie contrived to substitute her sister Gunnor
for herself, to the Duke's ultimate satisfaction. [Ref: White Gunnor p57]

Parentage of Gunnor and her siblings is unknown. While some sources call her
father Herfastus, this was in fact the name of her brother. She has also been
laimed as a daughter of the Danish royal family, but there is no evidence for
this, and the context of her coming to attention of Richard I and the family's
subsequent rise to power militates against her being a royal daughter.
Doublas argued, based on the donations of brother Arfast to the monastery of
St. Pere, that the root of the family was in the Cotetin region of Normandy,
but van Houts has suggested that the Cotetin land was granted to Arfast,
rather than inherited by him. Thus we are left with the more ambiguous
statement of Torigny and others that she was a member of a Norman family of
Danish origins. [Ref: Farmerie Gunnor]
