     Robert (?) I, Duke of Normandy Robert the Magnificent[1] (French: le Magnifique) (22 June 1000 - 3July 1035), also called Robert the Devil (French: le Diable), was theDuke of Normandy from 1027 until his death. Owing to uncertainty overthe numbering of the Dukes of Normandy he is usually called Robert I,but sometimes Robert II with his ancestor Rollo as Robert I. He wasthe son of Richard II of Normandy and Judith, daughter of Conan I ofRennes. He was the father of William the Conqueror.

When his father died, his elder brother Richard succeeded, whilst hebecame Count of Hiémois. When Richard died a year later, there weregreat suspicions that Robert had Richard murdered, hence his othernickname, 'the Devil'. He is sometimes identified with the legendaryRobert the Devil.[citation needed]

Robert aided King Henry I of France against Henry's rebellious brotherand mother, and for his help he was given the territory of the Vexin(1032). He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported hiscousin Edward the Confessor, who was then in exile at Robert's court,and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy.

By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise, he was father of the futureWilliam I of England (1028-1087). He also had an illegitimatedaughter, but the only chronicler to explicitly address the issue,Robert of Torigny, contradicts himself, once indicating that she had adistinct mother from William, elsewhere stating that they shared thesame mother. This daughter, Adelaide of Normandy (1030 - c. 1083),married three times: to Enguerrand II, Count of Ponthieu, Lambert II,Count of Lens, and Odo II of Champagne.

After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he set out onpilgrimage to Jerusalem. According to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum hetravelled by way of Constantinople, reached Jerusalem, and died on thereturn journey at Nicaea on 2 July 1035. Some sources attribute hisdeath to poison and date it to 1 or 3 July. His son William, agedabout eight, succeeded him.

According to the historian William of Malmesbury, William sent amission to Constantinople and Nicaea, charging it with bringing hisfather's body back to be buried in Normandy. Permission was granted,but, having travelled as far as Apulia (Italy) on the return journey,the envoys learned that William himself had meanwhile died. They thendecided to re-inter Robert's body in Italy.
