	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Normandy
		Thus Normandy for nearly a century and a half was at once a sort of promontory of the Christian world in face of Scandinavia and at the same time a coign of Scandinavia thrust into the Christian world.
		Philip II Augustus sanctioned the judgment of the court of peers by invading Normandy which in 1204 became a French possession.
		Shortly afterwards Normandy was one of the provinces of France most faithful to the Dauphin Charles, the future Charles V, and the hope the English entertained in 1359 of seeing Normandy ceded to them by the Preliminaries of London was not ratified by the treaty of Brétigny (1360); Normandy remained French.

		As his predecessors were styled jarl (earl) of the Northmen (Normans), Richard II was the first to be styled duke of Normandy (the ducal title established between 987-1006).
		In 1204, during the reign of King John, mainland Normandy was taken from England by France under King Philip II while insular Normandy (the British Channel Islands) remained (and remains ceremonially today) under the English Duke of Normandy.
		Dukes of Normandy were one of the most important princes in medieval France, both when the duchy was their main holding (911-1066) and when they were holders of other yet more remarkable holdings, such as kings of England (1066-1204).

	Normandy
		The duchy of Normandy was originated from the county of Rouen, which was given to the Viking chieftain Rollo as a French fief from the king Charles the Simple 911.
		The union with England lasted with a short break until 1204 when Normandy was conquered by the French king and became a part of their royal domains.
		The title duke of Normandy was thereafter used by the heir to the throne until it was replaced by the more well known title Dauphine.

	The Age of Chivalry - Duchy of Normandy 911-1259 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Duke Richard II of Normandy (996-1026) rejected the Peace of God (the Church's attempt to curb the violence of lesser knights) in favour of using his own ability to keep the peace.
		Although the main enemies of Normandy were Flanders and Anjou the kings of France, who were, nominally at least, the suzerain of the duchy, attempted to destroy it in 987 and 1058 but was defeated on both occasions.
		However, this led to the gradual Angevin takeover of Normandy and Geoffrey Plantagenet, the husband of Henry's daughter Matilda, finally conquered it in 1144.

	Normandy (Traditional province, France)
		The union of Normandy and Flanders scared the pope and the king of France, and the foundation of the abbeys was Guillaume's answer.
		During the next thirty years, Normandy was trashed by armed gangs claiming to be the English party or the Navarre party, since king of Navarre Charles le Mauvais was lord of Cotentin and Evreux.
		However, it is highly probable that William of Normandy did not use armorial devices and it is probably correct to dismiss the theory concerning the one lion of Guyenne and the two of Normandy being combined to make the three of England.

		Emma was the daughter of Richard I of Normandy and sister of Richard II.
