He was an uterine half-brother of William the Conqueror, King of England [see ENGLAND 1]. He was created a count about 1060. He married (1st) before 1066 MAUD DE MONTGOMERY, daughter of Roger de Montgomery, Earl of Shrewsbury, by his 1st wife, Mabel, daughter and heiress of William, seigneur of Alencon and Bellême. They had one son, William [Count of Mortain], and four daughters, Agnes, Denise (wife of Guy III, seigneur of Laval), Emma (wife of William IV, Count of Toulouse), and Sibylle [Abbess of Saintes]. About 1082 he and his wife, Maud, founded a collegiate church at St. Evroult at Mortain. His wife, Maud, died 21 Sept. 1082, and was buried in Grestain Abbey. He married (2nd) ALMODIS ___. They had one son, Robert, and one daughter, Almodis (wife of Raimon Berenguer III of Barcelona). In the period, 1082-84, he granted land in Dorset to Marmoutier Abbey at Tours. He joined the rebellion against King William Rufus in 1088, which was soon put down. He was a benefactor of many religious houses, including the abbeys of Grestain, Marmoutier, Caen, Préaux, Fécamp, Mont-St-Michel, St.- Nicholas, Angers and St. Albans.
