Dukes of Normandy by Onslow; AIS; Fortune's Knave by Mary Lide.
Onslow: He was a Walloon, born at Chaumont near Liege, Belgium. Moved to
Falaise and became a wealthy tanner, an occupation of low regard--and high
smell. He later also became a brewer--a combination not viewed highly by the
public. He also became Chamberlain to Duke Robert after his daughter became the
duke's mistress. Fulbert and his wife had opposed their daughter's relationship
with the duke, wanting her to marry someone in her station of life.
AIS: Fulbert of Falaise.
Lide: In her novel she says Fulbert had a son Walter, who helped William the
Bastard escape from the clutches of Ralph de Gace, who hoped to became the
Duke of Normandy.
