Richard is described by such a wide range of words (comes, marchio, consul, princeps, dux) by various sources (sometimes of dubious authority) that it would be difficult to argue that there is a specific "title" by which he should be called [see Helmerichs 1997].

Normandy has always had large ports: Rouen, on the Seine, is the nearest navigable point to Paris, while Dieppe, Le Havre and Cherbourg have important transatlantic trade.
Normandy also boasts extraordinary Romanesque and Gothic architectural treasures, although only the much-restored capital, Rouen, retains a complete medieval centre.
Parts of inland Normandy are now among the most depressed in the whole country, and in the forested areas to the south, where life has never been easy, things have not improved.

?Normandy 1944 looks at the planning and preparation for the invasion, the launching of the greatest military operation of all time and the campaign that followed in the summer of 1944 until the Allied armies closed the Falaise Gap and the Germans began their retreat from France.
The invasion of Normandy was the greatest military operation in history involving servicemen from Great Britain, Canada and the USA.
In short, this author has done his homework and the result is as fair and accurate an account of an event which set those gallant Allied Forces on the road to victory - and that was the journey which lead to the final surrender of Germany.

 Dudo Introduction
Dudo writes that the commission was delivered two years before the death of Richard I. According to the oldest manuscript copies of Dudo's narrative, that doleful event took place either in 996 or 1002.
Because this same Dudo is called simply a "canonicus" (canon) of St. Quentin in a charter of duke Richard II which dates from 1015, (note 2).
The deanship of a canonry is not a lifetime position from which one cannot abdicate; indeed, it is precisely the sort of position from which one might resign in order to become the "capellanus" of Richard II, the position which Dudo describes himself as holding in the charters of 1011 and 1015.
