Torf "The Rich" De Harcourt 
Torf "The Rich" De was born about 0928 in Harcourt, Brionne, Eure, Normandy, France. He died about 1019.General Notes
He was a great Norman feudal baron. Probably he was a grandson of one of the viking chiefs of Scandinavia who accompanied Rollo about 900 A.D. in the Norse invasion of northern France where they permanently settled and gave to the country its name "Normandy". Torf possessed numerous lordships in Normandy, being Seigneur de Torville, Torcy, Torny, Torly, du Ponteautord,etc. It has been suggested that he was a son of Bernard the Dane, the most powerful of the feudal nobles of Normandy during the reign of Duke William I. (927-943) and Regent during the minority of Duke Richard I. (943-955); but this claim has not been proved.Some genealogies show his parents as Bernard of Saxony and Spriota de Bourgogne, but this is most certainly fabricated. - Todd Farmerie
Torf "The Rich" De and Ertemberge De were married in a religious ceremony after 0955. They had three sons named Turchetil, Tourade De and William De.
