Narrative

[large-G675.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.
