  • Notes 
    • Geoffrey (Godfrey) was the s/o Duke Richard I or Normandy, by an unnamed wife or concubine. The early Normans followed the Viking custom of marriage called more danico that they considered a legitimate form of marriage. It was the Church that considered this the same as concubinage.Legitimacy would not have been an issue at this time.
