Herluin's marriage to Herleva[edit]

Towards the beginning of the 11th century, Conteville and its dependencies appear to be in the hands of Herluin, who married Herleva, the mistress of Robert I, Duke of Normandy and already mother of William the Bastard, called William the Conqueror later. Herluin and Herleva had two sons and two daughters: Odo or Eudes, who became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert who became Count of Mortain; both were prominent in the reign of their half-brother William. The daughters:


)Emma, who married Richard le Goz, (-------------------------------------------------------- Viscount of Avranches, and a daughter of unknown name, sometimes called Muriel, married Guillaume, Seigneur de la Ferté-Macé.[6] Herluin is said to have loyally borne Guillaume's body to his grave at Caen after he died in the burning of Mantes.[7]

MEDIEVAL LANDS

HERLUIN, son of --- (-[1066], bur Grestain). Vicomte de Conteville. He founded the abbey of Grestain after 1050[2071].

m firstly HERLEVE, mistress of ROBERT II King of Normandy, daughter of FULBERT & his wife [Doda/Duwa] --- (-[1050]). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines refers to the mother of Duke Guillaume as "filia…Herbertus pelliparius et uxor eius Doda sive Duwa", specifying that the family was from Chaumont in the diocese of Liège but moved to Falaise although others said that they were from Huy, and specifies her marriage to "Herlewino de Vado comitis"[2072]. Orderic Vitalis calls her "Duke Robert's concubine", and specifies her marriage, referring to her husband as stepfather to Duke Guillaume[2073]. Guillaume de Jumièges names "Herlève fille le Fulbert valet de chamber du duc" as mother of Duke Guillaume II, recording that "un certain Herluin, brave chevalier, prit Herlève pour femme" after the death of Duke Robert[2074]. It is assumed that this marriage took place after Duke Robert's death as no record has been found of the Duke having a subsequent relationship. She presumably died before her husband founded the abbey of Grestain as she is not referred to in the abbey's confirmation charter dated 14 Nov 1189[2075]. Robert of Torigny's De Immutatione Ordinis Monachorum records that "Herluinus de Contevilla…et Herleve uxor eius" were buried in "mon. Sanctæ Mariæ Gresteni"[2076].

m secondly FREDESENDIS, daughter of ---. She is named as the wife of Herluin in the confirmation charter of the abbey of Grestain, dated 14 Nov 1189[2077].

Vicomte Herluin & his first wife had three children:

1. EUDES [Odo] (-Palermo [2/6] Jan 1097, bur Palermo Cathedral). Guillaume de Jumièges names (in order) "Eudes et Robert" as the two sons of Herluin and Herlève[2078]. His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis, who specifies that he was the half-brother of William I King of England[2079]. Named by Florence of Worcester as the brother of King William I "but only on his mother's side"[2080]. His half-brother invested him as Bishop of Bayeux on the death of Bishop Hugues, son of Raoul d'Ivry Comte de Bayeux[2081] in 1050. He is said to have taken an active part in the preparation of the Norman invasion of England and was present at the battle of Hastings 23 Oct 1066. The Brevis Relatio de Origine Willelmi Conquestoris records that "Odone episcopo de Baiocis" contributed 120 ships towards the invasion of England in 1066[2082]. His half-brother William I King of England rewarded him with a grant of over 500 manors in England and created him Earl of Kent in 1067[2083]. Florence of Worcester records that King William left "fratrumque suum Odonem Baiocensem episcopum et Willelmum filium Osberni quem in Herefordensi provincia comitum" when he went to Normandy 21 Feb [1067][2084]. He was one of the leaders of the force which suppressed the rebellion of the Earls of Norfolk and Hereford in 1075[2085]. He began scheming to become Pope, sending great gifts to influential men in Rome, but was arrested by King William and sent to Normandy where he was a prisoner in Rouen between 1082 and 1087[2086]. He was released by King William on his deathbed[2087]. Although King William II restored Odo to his Earldom, he was one of the leaders of the rebellion in 1088 which sought to put Robert Duke of Normandy on the English throne[2088]. He was banished from England and all his honours and possessions forfeited. He became chief adviser to Duke Robert in Normandy, accompanying him on the First Crusade but dying en route in Palermo[2089]. Bishop Odo had one illegitimate son:

a) JEAN de Bayeux (-1131). Son of Odo bishop of Bayeux according to Orderic Vitalis, who records that Jean gave King Henry news of the death of his nephew Guillaume "Clito" Count of Flanders in 1128[2090]. Orderic Vitalis records that he lived at the court of Henry I King of England where he was held in esteem for his eloquence and probity[2091].

2. ROBERT de Mortain (after 1040-8 Dec 1090, bur abbaye de Grestain). Guillaume de Jumièges names (in order) "Eudes et Robert" as the two sons of Herluin and Herlève[2092]. His parentage is recorded by Orderic Vitalis, who specifies that he was the half-brother of William I King of England [2093]. Named by Florence of Worcester as the brother of King William I "but only on his mother's side"[2094]. Guillaume de Jumièges records that his half-brother Guillaume II Duke of Normandy installed Robert as Comte de Mortain after expelling "Guillaume Guerlenc"[2095]. He was installed as Comte de Mortain in 1063 by his half-brother Guillaume II Duke of Normandy, after he dispossessed Guillaume Werlenc[2096]. King William I granted him nearly all the land of Cornwall as a reward for his participation at the battle of Hastings in 1066, but he does not seem to have been created Earl of Cornwall, continuing to be referred to as "comes Moritoniensis"[2097]. "Robertus Moretonii comes frater Villelmi Anglorum regis et Normannorum principis" granted property to the abbey of Saint-Benoît-sur-Loire by charter dated 9 Jan 1083[2098]. He joined his brother Eudes in the 1088 rebellion against King William II but was pardoned[2099]. The necrology of the church of Mortain records the death "8 Dec" of "Robertus comes Moretonii fundator istius ecclesie"[2100]. m firstly (before 1066) MATHILDE de Montgommery, daughter of ROGER Sire de Montgommery, Vicomte d'Hiémois [later Earl of Shrewsbury] & his first wife Mabel d'Alençon (-[1085], bur abbaye de Grestain). She is named and her parentage given by Orderic Vitalis, who lists her second among her father's daughters by his first marriage and names her husband[2101]. "Robert count of Mortain" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel for "his deceased wife Mathildis and his living wife Almodis" by charter dated to [1087/91][2102]. “Willielmus comes Moritonii” founded Montcute Priory, for the souls of “patris mei Roberti comitis et matris meæ Mathillidis comitissæ”, by undated charter[2103]. m secondly ALMODIS, daughter of ---. "Robert count of Mortain" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel for "his deceased wife Mathildis and his living wife Almodis" with the consent of "Robert his son" by charter dated to [1087/91], which specifies that "William his other son has promised to grant it if Almodis should leave no heir"[2104]. Earl Robert & his first wife had five children:

a) ROBERT . "Robert count of Mortain" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel for "his deceased wife Mathildis and his living wife Almodis" with the consent of "Robert his son" by charter dated to [1087/91], which specifies that "William his other son has promised to grant it if Almodis should leave no heir"[2105].

b) GUILLAUME de Mortain (-Bermondsey after 1140). Orderic Vitalis refers to him as nepos of Robert III Duke of Normandy[2106]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Guilelmi" as son of "Robertum comitem Moretonii"[2107]. Robert of Torigny names "unum filium Guillermum et tres filias" as the children of "Robertus comes Moritonii uterinus frater Willermi regis"[2108]. "Robert count of Mortain" donated property to the abbey of Mont Saint-Michel for "his deceased wife Mathildis and his living wife Almodis" with the consent of "Robert his son…and William his other son" by charter dated to [1087/91][2109]. He succeeded his father in 1090 as Comte de Mortain, and in the latter's lands in Cornwall. He unsuccessfully claimed the earldom of Kent on the death of his uncle Eudes[2110]. “Willielmus comes Moritonii” founded Montcute Priory, for the souls of “patris mei Roberti comitis et matris meæ Mathillidis comitissæ”, by undated charter[2111]. "…Willelmi comitis de Moritun…" subscribed a charter dated 14 Sep 1101 under which Henry I King of England donated property to Bath St Peter[2112]. Florence of Worcester records that "Willelmus comes de Moreteon" rebelled against Henry I King of England, who confiscated all his English lands in [1104][2113]. Florence of Worcester also records that "comes Willelmus de Moretonio" fought with Robert Duke of Normandy against King Henry I at Tinchebrai in [1106], was captured, but later escaped and fled[2114].

WIKIPEDIA (fr)

Herluin de Conteville (vers 1001 – vers 1066), fut un seigneur normand, vicomte ou comte de Conteville. Il est le père de deux personnages importants du règne de son beau-fils Guillaume le Conquérant, Robert de Mortain et Odon de Bayeux.

Biographie

Il aurait été le fils de Jean de Conteville, mais il s'agit probablement d'une invention a posteriori, car ses origines sont obscures[1]. Il est possible qu'au moment de son mariage, il ait été établit comme un soutien loyal au duc en moyenne Normandie[2].

Il épouse Arlette de Falaise († vers 1050), l'ancienne « frilla » (concubine à la manière danoise) de Robert le Magnifique, duc de Normandie, et mère de Guillaume le Conquérant. La date de leur mariage est inconnue, et il a existé deux théories opposées sur ce point.

La plus ancienne s'appuyait sur le récit du chroniqueur Guillaume de Jumièges, contemporain des faits : « Mais après que le duc pèlerin de Jérusalem fut mort, un certain Herluin, brave chevalier, prit Herlève pour femme, et en eut deux fils, Eudes et Robert, qui dans la suite parvinrent à une grande illustration »[3].

Aujourd'hui, les historiens s'accordent à penser que le duc a arrangé un mariage pour sa maîtresse avec Herluin aux alentours de 1030, soit peu après la naissance de son fils[2]. Certainement peu après son mariage, il est fait vicomte ou comte de Conteville[2].

Il fonde l'abbaye de Grestain avec son fils Robert vers 1050 et c'est là que lui et ses femmes furent inhumés. D'après un récit maintenant perdu, il avait eu une vision dans laquelle la fondation d'un monastère lui guérirait sa lèpre[4].

Familles et descendance

En premières noces, il épouse Arlette de Falaise († vers 1050), ancienne « frilla » (concubine à la manière danoise) de Robert le Magnifique, duc de Normandie, et mère de Guillaume le Conquérant. Ensemble ils ont[5] :

   * Robert de Mortain († 1090), comte de Mortain, et de Cornouailles, compagnon du Conquérant ;

* Odon de Bayeux († 1097), évêque de Bayeux, comte de Kent, compagnon du Conquérant.
* Muriel, qui épouse Eudes « au chapeau », vicomte du Cotentin, que Wace liste parmi les conseillers du duc en 1066[6].
Pour David Bates[7], ils engendrent aussi :

   * Adelaïde de Normandie (v. 1026-v. 1090), comtesse d'Aumale ;

* Très probablement une fille inconnue qui épouse le baron normand Guillaume, seigneur de La Ferté-Macé.
En secondes noces, il épouse Fredesensis. Ensemble, ils ont[7] :

   * Raoul ou Ranulf de Conteville († après 1089). Il est enregistré dans le Domesday Book comme propriétaire dans le Somerset et le Devonshire en 1086 ;

* Jean de Conteville, probablement mort jeune.

* Herluin de Conteville à thepeerage.com
* Origines des comtes de Mortain
--------------------------

Herluin de Conteville (1001–1066[1]), also sometimes listed as Herlevin De Conteville, was the stepfather of William the Conqueror, and the father of two men who became prominent in William's reign.

No contemporary record provides the parentage for Herluin,[2] although much later sources have assigned him parents (such as the otherwise unknown Jean de Conteville (965) and Harlette de Meulan[citation needed]). Herluin was a lord of moderate income and some land on the south side of the river Seine. He was viscount of Conteville, probably so created by his stepson, and held the honour of Sainte-Marie Église, a portion of the county of Mortain. He had a castle there, and founded in its neighbourhood the Abbey of Grestain, in which he and his wives were buried.[1]

Towards the beginning of the 11th century, Conteville and its dependencies appear to be in the hands of Herluin, who married Herleva, the mistress of Robert I, Duke of Normandy and already mother of William the Bastard, called William the Conqueror later. Herluin and Herleva had two sons and one daughter: Odo or Eudes, who became Bishop of Bayeux, and Robert who became Count of Mortain; both were prominent in the reign of their half-brother William. The daughter, sometimes called Muriel, married Guillaume, Seigneur de la Ferté-Macé.[1]

After the death of Herleva (1050), Herluin married Fresendis, who was his wife when he founded Grestain Abbey. By that time she had borne him two sons: Raoul de Conteville (d. aft. 1089), who later held land in Somerset and Devon,[1] and Jean de Conteville. Little is known of the sons of his second marriage.[2] Herluin was afflicted with leprosy or some similar disease, and was inspired to found the abbey of Grestain in hopes of achieving a cure.

WILLIAM THE CONQUEROR’S HALF BROTHERS AND SISTERS. (9".1 S. viii. 199, p. 293.)

Orderic Vital (bk. vii. chap. xvi.) calls Harlowen de Burgo Herluin de Conteville. This place is Conteville-sur-Mer, near the mouth of the Risle. He states that he married Harleve, and had two sons. Mr. Cobbe gives him two sons, Odo and Robert, and a daughter named Adelaide, who married Eudes de Champagne for her first husband. and secondly Lambert Count of Lens. Her daughter Judith married Waltheof, Earl of Northumbria. Planché says there were two daughters—Emma, who became wife to Richard, Viscount of the Avranchin, whose son was the Earl of Chester; and Muriel, who married Eudo do Capello or al Chapel; but he states in vol. i. (‘Conqueror and his Companions ’) that there was also a sister of Muriel who became the wife of the lord of Ferté Macé, who was called
nephew of Odo in a charter. But he says (vol ii p. 286) that a sire de Ferté Macé, either Mathias or William, married a sister of Odo, and William, his son, was Odo's nephew. He does not know which sister of Odo, or by which father, or whether a child of Herleve and Herluin.Here lies a doubt which I have been seeking to solve, but at the present I am totally in the dark.

THE ‘Dictionnaire de la Noblesse ’ of 1774, by M. De la Chenaye-Dubois, says, under ‘La Haye du Puis,’ that early in the eleventh century it was in the possession of Richard Turstin called Bardouf, who founded in 1056, with his sister Anne and his son Yvon Capel, the Abbey of Lessay two leagues south of the Haye du Puis. Under ‘De la Haye,’ another family, it gives references to La Roque’s ‘Histoire de Harcourt,’ tome ii. p. 1101, c. This ancient noblesse descends from Renaud I, Sovereign Count of Burgundy, and Alix, daughter of Richard II, Duke of Normandy and Judith of Brittany, and is a branch of the Counts of Vernon.

Robert de la Haye, third son of Guy of Burgundy, Count of Vernon and Brione, accompanied William the Conqueror at the battle of Hastings, and confirmed the foundation of the Abbey of Lessay by the advice and with the consent of his wife Muriel and his two sons. He married Muriel daughter and heiress of Eudes au Capel, Grand Maitre d’Hotel to the Duke of Normandy, son of Richard Turstin “dit" Bardouf, or Haldup, and Emma, daughter of one of the Dukes of Normandy. According to the charters and La Roque. tome ii. p. 267. Henry I recommended the Abbey of St. Evroult to the Bishop of Lisieux, the Count of Mortain, and Robert de la Haye.

Count Robert of Mortain founded St. Evroult in 1082 with Matilda de Montgoméri, his first wife. Eudo de Capel’s estates went to his grandson, according to the French ‘Noblesse,’ for his daughter and heiress Muriel de la Haye du Puis married Robert de la Haye, of another family, and had Richard and Raoul.

Richard had only three daughters: he married a cousin, Matilda de Vernon heiress of Varanguebec. The eldest daughter had for her share the barony of La Haye du Puis, also Varanguebec from her mother. She married Richard, Baron du Hommet.

Odo Bishop of Bayeux, had a son John, who had for his preceptor Roger (see Sauvage, ‘ Recherches sur l’arrondissement de Mortain’).

Robert, Earl of Mortain and Cornwall, married first Matilda de Montgoméri daughter of Roger de Montgoméri, Earl of Shrewsbury, by whom he had William and four daughters. He married second Almodis, and had a son Robert.

William, second Earl of Mortain and Cornwall, married Adelidis, called “de Ou ” in a charter (‘ Calendar of Documents preserved in France,’ by J. H. Round, Charter No. 1209, date 1100-6). He became a monk at Bermondsey in 1140. Taken prisoner at Tinchebray and blinded.

Emma married William, Earl of Toulouse, and was great - grandmother to Eleanor, heiress of Aquitaine, who married first Louis, King of France, then Henry II, King of England.

Agnes married Andre de Vitre; her daughter Hawisa married Robert de Ferrers, first Earl of Derby.

Denise, so called by La Roque and Moreli, or Agatha by Anselm, married Guy, Sieur de Laval.

Barbe married Baudouin du Bose, fourth son of Antoine de Cluny; she had four sons, and died 1127. (French ‘Noblesse’ under ‘ Radeport,’ vol. xi. p. 662.)

Maude, Matilda, or Adelais.—Anselm says Eudes de Champagne, son of Henry, called Stephen, Count of Troyes and Meaux, second son of Eudes II, called Champénois, Count of Blois, Troyes, and Meaux, and of his wife Ermengarde of Auvergne, married Adelais de Mortaing, widow of a Norman seigneur, daughter of Helvin, Seigneur de Conteville and Herleve. Adelais founded the priory of St. Martin d’Aumale.

Brooke calls her Matild, half-sister by the mother to the Conqueror, and Vincent does not correct him. ‘L’Art de Verifier les Dates’ calls her “ soeur utérine." Maseres, ‘ Selects. Monumenta,’ in pedigrees, p. 389, calls her “soror uterina Gulielmi I ” TIn notes, p.316, she is called half-sister to the king, by Harleva or Arlotta and Herluin, “probus miles.” Also p. 250 says the same: p. 254 (in Latin), Orderic Vital says, “Odoni vero Campaniensi nepoti Theobaldi Comitis, qui sororem habebat ejusdem Regis (filiam scilicet Rodberti Ducis) dedit idem Comitatum Hildernessae.” She married first Enguerraud or Ingleram, Sire d’Aumale, killed 1053, leaving one daughter, Adelaide, supposed d. s.p.; married second, before a year of widowhood, Lambert, Count of Lens, brother to Eustace II, Count of Boulogne, who was killed next year, leaving one daughter, the “wicked” Judith, married to Waltheof ; her third husband was Odo of Champagne, by whom she had one son, Stephen, who became Count of Aumale.

Harlowen de Conteville married first Frédégonde, and had by her Raoul de Conteville, who came to England and had posterity (see House of Ivry).

Secondly he married Arlotta, or Herleva, and had by her Robert, Earl of Mortain; Odo, Bishop of Bayeux; Maud, or Adelais (perhaps), Countess of Albemarle.

Emma married Richard Goz, Earl of Avranches ; she was mother to Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester. Brooke calls her Margaret. Vincent does not correct him.

Isabel married Guilbert, son of the Earl of Corbeil.

Muriel married Eudes al Chapel.

The ancestry of Harlowen is so far unknown. There is no trace of a John, Earl of Comyn, and the descent through Godfrey de Bouillon, who lived a century after, is of course absurd. The mistake has arisen most likely from Baldwin IL, King of Jerusalem, being called “Du Bourg ” (see ‘Art de Verifier les Dates’). He was father of Millicent, Queen of Jerusalem, whose jewelled prayer book is in the British Museum. Baldwin II was a “parent" (may mean nephew or cousin) to the brothers Godfrey and Baldwin I; he was son of the Count de Rethel, in Champagne.

Pére Anselm, vol. ii. p. 470. says Harlouin de Conteville is by some called Gilbert de Crépon.

Vicomte av Conteville og Sainte-Mère-Église

Stefar til Wilheilm Erobreren, foreldre Jean de Conteville (965) og Harlette de Meulan

Herluin var en herre med moderat inntekt, han hadde et landområdepå sørsiden av elven Seinen. Han var vicomte av Conteville, trolig gitt av hans stesønn Wilhelm Erobreren, Han hadde Sainte-Mère-Église, en del av fylket av Mortain. Der grunnla han Grestain Abbey rundt 1050 med sønnen Robert. Herluin gift senere Fredesendis, og kalles en velgjører av Grestain Abbey, Dette er bekreftet i et skriv om klosteret datert 1189. Klosteret ble grunnlagt av Herluin seg rundt 1050 i håp om å oppnå en helbrede sin spedalskhet eller noen lignende sykdom. Herluin og Fredesendis hadde to sønner: Raoul de Conteville (d. aft. 1089), som senere holdt land i Somerset og Devon, og Jean de Conteville (som synes å ha døde ung).
