# ID: I6389
# Name: William I ("Longsword") de Normandie (Duc de Normandy)
# Sex: M
# Birth: 891 in Rouen,Normandy,France

# Note:

William I, "Longsword", b. ca. 891 probably Rouen, c. 927 succeeded t o Duchy of Normandy, c. 930 the Bretons rebelled, he subdued them, taki ng Brittany, the Channel Islands, the Contentin, and the Averanchin; ki lled in treacherous ambush 17 Dec 942 by servants of Theobald of Blois a nd Arnulf of Flanders. He m. (1) (Danish wife) Sprota, a Breton; m. (2) L uitgarde de Vermandois, n.i. [no issue], killed 942 by Louis, son of Ch arles III "the Simple", daughter of Herbert II, Count of Vermandois and T royes. [Ancestral Roots]

Note: There is an apparent error in Luitgarde's death date of 942. S ee notes under her. I think the clause ",killed 942 by Louis, son of Ch arles III "the simple" belongs to William's death and not to Luitgarde' s, even though she is the subject of the sentence before & after the cl ause. I am going to remove the death date as a sourced alternative. It i s an obvious error.
