bk&q p 498: "William the Conqueror . . was the illegimate son of ROBERT
I, duke of Normandy. The Normans were Vikings who had settled in northe
rn France and had taken on the lifestyle of the French aristocracy, witho
ut losing that passion for conquest. William was descended from RAGNAL
D, the ancestor of the earls of Orkney.

er in a castle. He murdered his brother Richard."
FIMA pp 111, 171-2. p. 111 "FULK NERRA OF ANJOU and ROBERT, Duke of Norma
ndy, set out on this perilous journey, taking leave of their friends and f
amilies as if they were close to death. Since then, the upheavals in t
he East had made the undertaking still more hazardous. On the other han
d, cultural progress was gradually drawing Christianity away from quasi-su
perstitious and unthinking adoration, centred almost exclusively on the li
turgy. Christian faith was now focused more upon the realities of the N
ew Testament, and the accounts of the life of Jesus in the synoptic gospe
ls became the object of more sustained attention. Jerusalem, Bethany a
nd Calvary became increasingly real to Christians in the West. Finally, t
here was the continuing influence of an eschatological vision, in which a
ll humanity moved towards the site of Christ's passion, resurrection and a
scension, under the aegis of an entirely spiritual monarchical power, f
or one final redemptive journey as the Last Judgement approached."
