Because the illegitimate children in the Middle Ages were not so obvious, the result of their extramarital affairs gave the children who were not so mysterious at that time a chance to fall in love, especially William the Conqueror.
This is the story of William the Conqueror's parents. The descendant of a Scandinavian colonist became a nobleman named Rollo. The rulers of Normandy were a controversial group who adopted their Viking ancestors.
1026 When Richard III came to power, his younger brother Robert immediately rebelled.
Despite his best efforts, Robert failed to oust Richard from the throne of the Duke.
Richard even married Adela, the daughter of French King Robert II, by establishing a long-term royal alliance, which was Robert's luck in Normandy. Later, he was called "the devil" and "magnificent", and his brother died for about a year under his rule.
Medieval chronicles say that jealous Robert poisoned Richard, but because this accusation is so common, we may never know whether it is true or not.
Robert may have married the Danish princess astrid, but he treated her badly in the end.
In fact, he turned his attention to a young girl in his territory: a lady named Mr. Reva. Robert the Great is part of the statue of the six dukes of Normandy in the square of Pharez.

5) Hereva is not a princess.
On the contrary, she is the daughter of an ordinary businessman named Fulbert.
According to William of Mamesbury, when Robert saw Reva dancing, he fell in love with her and was "fascinated" so much that he married her.
It is reported that he is still loyal to her as if she were his wife.
Others said that Robert crossed Heleva near the town of Falls and washed clothes in the river.
He fell in love with her at first sight. In the late 1920s, when Heleva was about to give birth, she dreamed that "her intestines were elongated, extending to the whole of Normandy and England.
When she gave birth to the baby, he grabbed the fluff on the floor, indicating that he would catch everything she dreamed of.
Malmesbury claimed that the midwife announced that the new baby would be a rather epic king, King William I ("the conqueror").
Did William the Conqueror's parents guess that he would be such an important historical figure? The exact nature of Fulbert's occupation varies from person to person, but it is not particularly attractive: he is either a tanner or a disinfector.
Chronicle writer Odrix Vitalis recalled that when William later surrounded Allen? In the town, people on the wall waved around the skins and laughed at him, referring to his family. They were all policemen.
The exact meaning of the word polinctor is vague.
Medieval chroniclers speculated that it might refer to tanning, funeral or antiseptic work. Although Robert was very loyal to Helenwa and their son and illegitimate daughter Adelia, he never married Helenwa.
On the contrary, Robert actually married one of his subjects outside Heleva, a Norman nobleman named Helevin. A few years after she gave birth to William, it was an honor that was debated by all parties.
Reva and Heron have several children, including Robert, Earl of Mo Dan, Oddo, Bishop of Peyo and Earl of Kent. They support William's power in Normandy and England, and they come from the Peyo Tapestry Group-this painting depicts Bishop Oddo of Peyo, Duke William and Earl Robert of Mo Dan.
William was only about 8 years old when his father died. Coupled with his improper status, the central government is unstable.
His mother's family gathered around him to support him.
Fulbert's grandfather served Duke Robert in his palace, perhaps as a personal attendant. Walter helped protect the little Duke after his daughter dated the Duke and William's uncle Osborne.
It is said that Walter snatched little William from his bed under the threat of danger and hid him in a slum in the town.
It worked because William continued his brilliant career in War and Peace, Vincent of Beauvais and Mirror in History (Volume IV): William the Conqueror invaded Britain.
