Roots: (Danish wife) Gunnor, died 1027 or 1031, daughte r of forester of Arques.
K. calls her Gonnor de Crepon. Norr: Gunnor (Gunora), (9 52)-1031.
Onslow in "The Dukes of Normandy and Their Orgin" says:
Richard I heard about a charming woman married to the su perintendent of forests at Secheville near Arques. Richar d visited Secheville, met the forester's beautiful wife, Sa infrida, and "had the impudence to suggest to her husband t hat he should be allowed to make her better acquaintance.
"The poor man was much perturbed and went in trouble t o his wife. The lady had no mind to become the mistress o f the Duke, but her morals were not so rigid as to preven t her from making capital our of the situation for her fami ly. Sainfrida had three sisters, Gunnor, Adelina and Veva ( Wevia),and a brother named Herfast. Gunnor was a very prett y girl and by no means particular. Sainfrida told her husba nd to pretend to fall in with the Duke's proposals and giv e Richard facilities to pay her a visit. But when Richard a rrived, Gunnor took Sainfrida's place. The Duke did not dis cover the trick until the following day; but so delighted w as he with Gunnor that not only did he forgive Sainfrida, b ut thanked her for having saved him from mortal sin! The re sult was that Gunnor became his wife by Danish custom and e ventually the mother of a numerous family, the eldest of wh ich was Richard II ofNormandy."
Gunnor apparently had children by Richard before they we re married and before his marriage to Emma. Evidently the R ichard-Gunnor union was legitimized later.
RC 166 says Gunnor's father was Herbastus de Crepon, For ester ofArques (in Denmark). Were there two foresters, th e father of Gunnor and Sainfridaand also the husband of Sai nfrida? Or did the story become tangled over the years?
Coe spells name Gunore.
Davis: Gonnor, daughter of a forester of Sauqueville i n Britanny.Second wife of Richard I. She married (2) Eperle ng, "farmer" of the mills ofPitres.
