 Judith of Flanders   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The theory that Richard III of Normandy was Judith's father is weakened from the outset by the fact that the sources giving a parentage to Judith are unanimous in making her the daughter of a count of Flanders, and major evidence would have been needed to overturn the primary sources on this matter.
Thus, since Decker-Hauff's reason for rejecting the Norman marriage of Baldwin IV was not a valid one, the case for Baldwin IV as Judith's father was not given the hearing that it deserved in Decker-Hauff's remaining arguments.
Any children of Baldwin IV by his Norman wife would have been born in the interval 1030×1036, and would therefore have been roughly the same age as the children of Baldwin V (and perhaps even brought up in the same household after the death of Baldwin IV).

The interpolation alleges that Judith was the widow of Harold before she married Welf IV of Bavaria, that she was thus a dowager queen with enormous wealth, deriving from the kings Edward and Harold.
It is quite possible that the legend of Judith as a widowed queen rather than a widowed countess was fostered by Judith herself, for in the necrology of the monastery of Weingarten, where she spent the last years of her life and which she richly endowed, she was entered as a former queen of England.
