  1. 4.  William I "Longsword", Duke of NormandyWilliam I "Longsword", Duke of Normandy Descendancy chart to this point (3.Poppa3, 2.Berenger2, 1.Berenger1) was born about 900 in Normandy, France; died on 17 Dec 943 in France; was buried in Rouen Cathedral, Rouen, Normandy, France.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • History: He was also known as Guillaume Longue-espee, in French. In 927, he succeeded as the Duke of Normandy, upon the death of his father. Most of William's career was spent in relative obscurity, but in the late 930s he suddenly emerged onto the stage of Frankish royal politics, first because of his war with Arnulf of Flanders, and then because of his support for King Louis IV (d'Outremer) at a time when Louis' star seemed to be fading. In December 942, at the peak of his good relations with Louis, Arnulf called for a peace conference with William. At the conference, William was murdered (traditionally, Arnulf is said to have arranged the murder). [see picture below] A Planctus (mourning poem) was composed probably shortly after William's death. Jules Lair suggests plausibly if not definitively that it was in 943. This poem, although it survives only in corrupt and incomplete versions and is largely hagiographic in content, nevertheless is a critical source for early Norman history. It is by far the earliest work written about the Normans from a Norman point of view, and some historical nuggets can be gleaned from it. [see picture below]
