Notes for Robert I "The Magnificent" , Duke of Normandie
Robert I
aka: Robert II “the Devil” of Normandy, Duke of Normandy 6th
Born: CIR 1008, Normandy, France
Acceded: 6 AUG 1028
Died: 22 JUN 1035, Nice, Bithynia
Notes:
d. July 1035, Nicaeabyname ROBERT THE MAGNIFICENT, OR THE DEVIL, French ROBERT LE MAGNIFIQUE, OR LE DIABLE, duke of Normandy (1027-35), the younger son of Richard II of Normandy and the father, by his mistress Arlette, of William the Conqueror of England. On the death of his father (1026/27), Robert contested the duchy with his elder brother Richard III, legally the heir, until the latter's opportune death a few years later. A strong ruler, Robert succeeded in exacting the obedience of his vassals. On the death of Robert II the Pious, king of France (1031), a crisis arose over the succession to the French throne. The Duke gave his support to Henry I against the party favouring his younger brother; in reward for his services he demanded and received the Vexin Français, a territory not far north of Paris. A patron of the monastic reform movement, he died while returning from a pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
Robert contributed to the restoration of Henry, King of France to his throne, and received from the gratitude of that monarch, the Vexin, as an additional to his patrimonial domains. In the 8th year of his reign, curiosity or devotion induced him to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, where the fatigues of the journey and the heat of the climate so impaired his consitution he died on his way home. Some sources call him Robert II, the Devil of Normandy
