Birth: ABT 945 in Gournay-en-Bray, Seine-Inferieure, Normandy, France
Death: Deceased

Note:
He played a significant part in the events of his time. Before 1035 he was a witness to a charter of the youthful Duke William. In his early career he made a mark as a sea-going warrior, and in 1036 he was one of the commanders of the Norman fleet that took the Anglo-Saxon Prince Edward (later the Confessor) to England, in that young man's hope that with the help of his mother, Queen Emma, he could gain the English throne upon the death of Canute. But he was not welcome there, and returned to Normandy to bide his time.
