Narrative

Name Prefix:<NPFX> Duchess
Name Suffix:<NSFX> Of Normandy, Princess Of Denmark
Sources: RC 24, 89, 166, 168, 222; Kraentzler 1153, 1156, 117 4, 1180, 1194, 1211, 1432, 1443; A. Roots 121E; Coe; Norr; Onslow; Pfafman; Davis. Roots: (Danish wife) Gunnor, died 1027 or 1031, daughter of forester o f Arques. K. calls her Gonnor de Crepon. Norr: Gunnor (Gunora), (952)-1031. O nslow in "The Dukes of Normandy and Their Orgin" says: Richard I heard about a charming woman married to the superintendentof forests at Secheville near Ar ques. Richard visited Secheville, metthe forester's beautiful wife, Sainfrida , and "had the impudence tosuggest to her husband that he should be allowed t o make her betteracquaintance. "The poor man was much perturbed and went in t rouble to his wife. The lady had no mind to become the mistress of the Duke, but her morals werenot so rigid as to prevent her from making capital our of the situation forher family. Sainfrida had three sisters, Gunnor, Adelina an d Veva(Wevia), and a brother named Herfast. Gunnor was a very pretty girl a nd by no means particular. Sainfrida told her husband to pretend to fall in wi th the Duke's proposals and give Richard facilities to pay her a visit. But whenRichard arrived, Gunnor took Sainfrida's place. The Duke did not discover the trick until the following day; but so delighted was he with Gunnor that not only did he forgive Sainfrida, but thanked her for having saved him fro mmortal sin! The result was that Gunnor became his wife by Danish custom an deventually the mother of a numerous family, the eldest of which was Richard II of Normandy." Gunnor apparently had children by Richard before they were married and before his marriage to Emma. Evidently the Richard-Gunnor union waslegitimized later. RC 166 says Gunnor's father was Herbastus de Crepon, Forester of Arques (in Denmark). Were there two foresters, the father of Gun nor andSainfrida and also the husband of Sainfrida? Or did the story become tangled over theyears? Coe spells name Gunore. Davis: Gonnor, daughter of a forester of Sauqueville in Britanny. Second wife of Richard I. She married (2) Eperleng, "farmer" of the mills of Pitres. ***** SOURCES: 1. Wingate, John. _William the Conqueror_, genealogical tables and notes. Gunnor was t he sister of Herfast of Denmark. She was the mistress, or wife "by the Dani sh custom" of Richard I, Duke of Normandy, and married him after the death o f his wife, Emma. She had both legitimate and illegitimate children by Richar d. 2. Douglas, David C. _William the Conqueror_: The Norman Impact Upon Eng land_.
