  === Life Sketch ===
  “Royal Ancestry: A Study in Colonial & Medieval Families,” Douglas Richardson (2013):
  "Children of Robert, Count of Mortain, by Maud de Montgomery...
  iii. MURIEL OF CONTEVILLE, married EUDES FITZ TURSTIN (also known as EUDES AU CHAPEL), Vicomte of the Cotentin, steward to William, Duke of Normandy (afterwards William the Conqueror, King of England), son of Turstin, or Richard, Haldup, of La Haye-du-Puits, founder de Lessay Abbey. They had no issue. He is mentioned about 1060 in a charter by which Duke William gave land at Bernières to the Cathedral of Bayeux. Bulkeley La Hougue Bie de Hambie 1 (1837): 153-159. Taylor Master Wace: His Chronicle of the Norman Conquest (1837): 102, footnote 6 ("Historians have not mentioned an uterine sister of William, called Muriel ...Wace's account of Muriel is confirmed from other sources. It would seem to have been to her, then a widow - ad Muriel sanctimonialem - sister of Odo, bishop of Bayeux - ... that the poet Serlon, the canon of Bayeux ... addressed his verses de capra Bajocensium civitate. The baron here called Iwun-al-Chapel seems to be Eudo de Capello - du manteau, or capuchon - son of Turstain Halduc and Emma his wife, and subscribing himself Eudo Haldub in a charter of 1074. Mem. Ant. Norm. viii. 436. He was dapifer to duke William; although not the Eudo dapifer of Domesday, who was son of Hubert de Rie. He was head of the house of Haie-du-Puits in the Cotentin, and undoubtedly married a Muriel, as appears by the charters of Lessay, whether she were a daughter of Herluin or not. The estates of Eudo went to his nephew, which confirms Wace's account of his having no issue. See the Lessay charters in Dugdale and Gallia Christiana, and our subsequent note on Haie."), 235-236. Delisle Hist. du Chateau et des Sires de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte (1867): 22-24, 27. Freeman Hist. of the Norman Conquest of England 2 (1873): 415 ("[Herleva] had also a daughter by Herlwin, named Muriel, who has naturally been confounded with William's other sister Adelaide. Wace says (Roman de Rou, 11145), 'Ki à fame avait Muriel, Seror li Dus de par sa mere E Herluin aveit a pere."). Lincolnshire Notes & Queries 6 (1901): 111-115. Notes & Queries 9th Ser. 8 (1901): 525-526. Brown Anglo-Norman Studies X (1988): 82, 161, footnote 15 ("Wace is correct in identifying Duke William's half-sister as Eudo's wife, see Gallia Christiana, xi, instr., 228a (pancarte of Lessay Abbey, founded by Eudo au Chapel and his father Turstin, or Richard, Haldup"). For the latter, see Fauroux, nos. 99, 167, 231 and Gallia Christiana, xi, instr., 225a. He was a benefactor of Cérisy, an abbey well-known to Wace, who gives reliable amd unique information about it, see C.H. Haskins, Norman Institutions, New York 1918, 269-272. For Eudo, vicomte of the Cotentin and steward, see Fauroux, no. 219; L. Musset, Les Actes de Guillaume le Conquérant et la Reine Mathilde pour les Abbayes Caennaises, Caen, 1967, nos. 7, 8, 11, 18, 19 and 22; Regesta, i. xxiii, nos. 75, 119, 121, 132, 142, 150, 168, 199, 342; Orderic, ii, 124."). Bates & Curry England & Normandy in the Middle Ages (1994): 118 ("Lessay is one of the few relevant buildings with apparently clear documentary evidence ... In 1089 Eudo Capellanus, son of the founder, was buried in the choir."). Burgess Hist. of the Norman People: Wace's Roman de Ron (2004): xxxv, 158 ("He [William the Conqueror] summoned Odo au Chapel, whose wife was Muriel, the duke's sister by his mother; her father was Herluin. I do not know whether a child was born from them, but I never heard of one.").”
