  HERBERT LOSINGA
Herfast had been given land at Norwich, by the king, probably quite early in his episcopate, on which to establish the principal seat of his diocese.
In 1071 Herfast transferred the seat of the East Anglian diocese from Elmham to Thetford and began attempts to deprive the abbey at Bury of exemption from episcopal control.
Thus Herbert's noble origins were clear but not of a sufficient grade to allow his presence in the councils of the great without the elevation of rank which his progress through the church had secured, and perhaps the desperation of his ambition to be in such a position was the sole motive for the simony.

Herbastus may have also married Sigrid (Cynthia) the Haughty, queen of Sweden, somewhere in between her marriages to King Erik VI and Sweyn I Forkbeard (son of Harald Bluetooth), and she may be the mother of his children.
Either way, Herbastus eventually went with his children (Herfast, Gunnora, Aveline, Sybille, and Sainfrie) to northern France where other Norsemen had settled, to the place called Normandy, and he became the forester of Arques and lord of Crepon.
And this Herfast was a mighty noble in Normandy, for his sister was the duke’s wife, and he served at the court of his brother-in-law, Richard I, and perhaps for a short time at the court of his nephew Richard II, before he died.

Of the three great names at the head of this chapter [Wm F.O., Roger de Montgomeri, Robt de Beaumont], that of William Fitz Osbern claims precedence as the nearest personal friend of the Conqueror, and the chief officer of his household.
Son of that Osbern the son of Herfast, otherwise Osbern de Crépon, who was foully murdered in the bed-chamber of his young sovereign by William de Montgomeri, he succeeded him in his office of Dapifer and the favour of the Duke.

 Our Family Tree: Herbastus of Arques + Cyrid of Skane
from Jim Weber: Apparently there is no evidence of what the name was of the father of Gunnor, Senfrie, Herfast, and Avelina.
He was not of Crepon, but later genealogists mistakenly thought the family was of Crepon because Herbastus' son, Herfast, received lands in Crepon, probably due to the relationship of his sister with Duke Richard.
