RESEARCH NOTES:
    1. Child #5 Alice or Adelaide is the one claimed to have been betrothed to Harald II, King of England; even though there is some disputation as to when she died, Harald II makes a claim she died before the invasion of England in 1066.

HISTORICAL NOTES:
    For hundreds of years before 1066, England had been ruled by Anglo-Saxon kings. When Edward "the Confessor" died in 1066, William of Normandy saw his chance for a successful invasion of England. He built a fleet, attracted many knights, and obtained the pope's blessing. He gained victory at the Battle of Hastings and was crowned King of England on Christmas of 1066. During the next few years, William presided over a gradual redistribution of land in England. Saxon rebellions led to the confiscation of lands, which the Norman Barons received. As a result of this Norman invasion, the English people today are of both Norman and Anglo-Saxon extraction.
