| Notes |
- Gunnor or Gonnor (circa 950-1031), was the wife of the Duke of Normandy Richard I is believed to be Josceline's sister.
Also known as the Gunnor Crépon or Gunnora, its origin is poorly established. It could be from a Danish family established in the Caux , however Crepon today Crépon , refers to a place name of Bessin . Dudo of Saint-Quentin reports that she belongs to a family of Danish nobility . His father Herbast (us) Crépon, son of a Rainulf of Crépon, the progenitor would Roricon Crépon (born around 870), Earl came from Denmark, set in the Duchy of Normandy and becomes the first lord Crépon. Rainulf Crépon wife Gunnor of Denmark, daughter of King Gorm of Denmark and his wife Thyra Danebod. Gunnor Normandy has Herfast brother of Crépon, father of Osbern Crépon , future Seneschal of Normandy .
Following a chance meeting told by Robert de Torigni , Gunnor wife more danico (Danish polygamous way, not according to the Christian rite) the Duke of Normandy, Richard I . This marriage seems to have been then "regularized" vis-a-vis the Church to 980-990, well after the death of the official wife, Emma.
Among the wives of the Dukes of Normandy, it is one of the few to have played an important role. According to the thesis (criticized) by Eleanor Searle , Gunnor belong to the Scandinavian families who settled in eastern Normandy under Richard I. His marriage would mark the rallying of the newcomers to the authority of the Duke . It is however not certain that Gunnor came from eastern Normandy . After the death of her husband, the Duchess seems to have a real regency of the duchy .
Mother of a Duke ( Richard II of Normandy ), an archbishop ( Robert Dane ) and queen ( Emma of Normandy ), it promotes the rise of these nieces and nephews. One of them marries Viscount of Rouen. Another is quite possibly the mother of William I of Warenne . A nephew, Osbern , Seneschal becomes Duke Robert the Magnificent .
Dudo of Saint-Quentin , appreciative towards Gunnor admits having collected a lot of information from his mouth to his De Gestis Normannaie ducum.
