Louis IV of France took the boy-duke into his protective custody, apparently intent upon reuniting Normandy to the crown's domains; but in 945 Louis was captured by the Normans, and Richard was returned to his people. Richard withstood further Carolingian attempts to subdue his duchy and, in 987, was instrumental in securing the French crown for his brother-in-law, the Robertian Hugh Capet.

[Ref: Peter Stewart SGM 3/24/2007-000839] ------------------------------------ Richard I of Normandy From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Richard I of Normandy (c.935 - November 20, 996) was the Duke of Norman dy from 942 to 996. He was called Richard the Fearless (French, Sans Peur) Birth He was born to William I of Normandy, Duke of Normandy, and Sprota. His da te of birth is unknown, but he was still a boy when his father died in 94 2. His mother was a Breton concubine captured in war and bound to Willi am by a Danish marriage. After William died, Sprota became the wife of Esp erleng, a wealthy miller. Life Richard was still a boy when his father died, and so he was powerless to s top Louis IV of France when he seized Normandy. Richard escaped from his p rison at Laon, allied himself with Norman and Viking leaders, drove Lou is out of Rouen, and took back Normandy by 947. Marriages He was first married to Emma of Paris (Duchess of Normandy) in 960. She di ed after 966, with no issue. According to Robert of Torigny, not long after Emma's death, Duke Richa rd went out hunting and stopped at the house of a local forester. He beca me enamoured of the forester's wife, Seinfreda, but she being a virtuous w oman, suggested he court her unmarried sister, Gunnor, instead. Gunnor bec ame his bride, and her family rose to prominence. Her brother, Herefa st de Crepon, was involved in a controversial trial involving the Cathar s. She was, like Richard, of Norse descent, being a Dane by blood. Richa rd finally married her to legitimate their children: Richard II, Duke of Normandy (The Good), Robert, Archbishop of Rouen, Count of Evreux, died 1037. Mauger, Earl of Corbeil, died after 1033. Robert Danus, died between 985/989. Emma of Normandy, died 1052. Hawise of Normandy, wife of Geoffrey I, Duke of Brittany. Maud of Normandy, wife of Odo II of Blois, Count of Blois, Champagne and C hartres. Mistresses Richard was known to have had several mistresses and produced childen with many of them. Known children are: Geoffrey, Count of Brionne, (b. ca. 970) Hawise (b. ca. 978), d. 21 Feb 1034. m. Geoffrey of Brittany, Duke of Brit tany, (ca. 997), son of Conan I of Brittany, Duke of Brittany, "le Tort ", and Ermengarde of Anjou. William d'Eu, Count d'Eu, (b. ca. 985). Death He died in Fecamp, France on November 20, 996 of natural causes. Roots: Richard I, "the Fearless," b. Fecamp, ca. 933; named father's heir 29 May 942. Married first (Danish wife) Gunnor but betrothed ca. 945 and eventually married 960 to Emma. After Emma's death he married (Christian marriage) Gunnor to legitimize their children.
