From Rosamond McKitterick, "The Frankish Kingdoms under the Carolingians 751-987", London & NY (Longman) 1983, pp. 238-239:

"When in 942 WILLIAM was murdered at the instigation of COUNT ARNULF OF FLANDERS, his son Richard, still a minor, succeeded him. LOUIS IV and HUGH THE GREAT each tried to sieze Normandy, and LOUIS took charge of Richard. He then ensconced himself at Rouen and HUGH took Bayeux, which still had a Scandinavian leader called Sictric. Richard escaped from his custody at Laon, retook Rouen, and called on another Viking leader, Harald of the Bassin, for help. The Normans under Richard were able to re-establish their autonomy and from 947 Richard governed in relative peace. In 965 he swore allegiance to the Carolingian king Lothar [son of LOUIS IV] at Gisors. Richard's official marriage was to Emma, daughter of HUGH THE GREAT; they had no children, but by his common-law wife GUNNOR, a
Dane, he had many. RICHARD II, son of GUNNOR and Richard I, succeeded his father in 996, another son Robert was archbishop of Rouen from 989 to 1037 and EMMA their daughter became queen of England on her marriage to AETHELREAD, a position she maintained after his death in 1016 by marrying Knut. GUNNOR's nephews and other relatives furthermore formed the core of the new aristocracy which developed in the course of the eleventh century. Unfortunately we know little about the internal organization and history of Normandy until the reign of RICHARD II."

From "Predatory Kinship and the Creation of Norman Power, 840-1066"
by Eleanor Searle, University of California Press, 1988:

"The Acknowledged Children of Richard I: Sons. The most revealing evidence of the prestige and power of Richard and his successor is to be found in the endowments and marriages of their children. The wife whose Norseness and high status made her an acceptable equal in the eyes of his chieftains was a woman whose children commanded paternal recognition, for they would have powerful maternal kinsmen upon whose loyalty they could call. Even so, it is remarkable that Dudo, with GUNNOR at his side, tells the reader only the number of children she bore Richard: five boys and three girls. He does not give their names, and Richard's sons defy full identification. RICHARD II was certainly GUNNOR's son, as was his virtual co-ruler, Robert, archbishop of Rouen. Charters identify their relationship clearly, but they do not identify any of her husband's other sons as GUNNOR's...."
"Richard I and his new settler -in-laws of the 960s were the winners who lasted. In becoming so they learned (and taught) two principles of
success that marked them off from the Franks. They learned the value of a strong centralizing chieftain who could at least freeze the status quo once his own local chieftains had taken what they wanted. The more successful he was, the more chiefs attached themselves to him for just this: with his warranty, backed by his chieftains, their defeated enemies could not recover by violence what had been taken from them by violence. Thus were the Norman dukes 'settlers of quarrels.' Fearlessness was the necessary quality in such a corrdinating chieftain, and Richard I, who has no encomiast of his deeds, has at least this sobriquet, "the Fearless" Those who were great fighters and the ruthlessly, selectively violent, were the great centralizers among the threatened and rapacious Norse."

During the minority of his (WILLIAM LONG-SWORD) successor, Duke Richard, KING LOUIS IV, who was making an expedition into Normandy, was captured by the inhabitants of Rouen and handed over to HUGH THE GREAT. From this time onwards the dukes of Normandy began to enter into relations with the dukes of France; and in 958 Duke Richard married HUGH THE GREAT's daughter. He died in 996. (Succeeded by RICHARD II.)
