	ORB -- The Rollonid Principality 2.4
		The reign of William Longsword is also rather obscure, at least until the end, when he suddenly came to play a major role in the conflicts among King Louis IV, Hugh the Great, Herbert II of Vermandois, and King Otto of the East Franks.
		William here is rather cowardly, trying to cave in to Riulf at every opportunity and only being forced to put up a fight by the scorn of his men, and achieving victory through what appears not to be the manliest of strategies.
		William's career began in danger, as the principality his father had built was almost destroyed by a Northmannic revolt against a son seen as tied too strongly to Frankish interests.

	Jewett Texts
		Before we follow the fortunes of the new duke, young William Longsword, we must take a look at France and see what traditions and influences were going to affect our colony of Northmen from that side, and what relations they had with their neighbors.
		We are afraid that he had left his famous longsword at home on that campaign, until it appears that his old counsellor, Bernard the Dane, urged him to go back and meet the insurgents, and that a great victory was won and the revolt ended for that time.
		William Longsword had become sure that there was no use in trying to be either wholly Danish or wholly French, the true plan for a Duke of Normandy was to be Dane and Frenchman at once.

	Fornjot, Rongvald, Rollo, William (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Rollo’s son was William Longsword (murdered 942) - mother was Poppa; from her, four generations back to Guillaume of Gellone.
		This means that Guillaume de Gellone (William of Orange, King of Septimania and the subject of several important medieval chansons de geste as well as Wolfram von Eschenbach's Wilhelm) is a direct ancestor.
		They also state that William of Orange is "part of" the blood line that established the duchy of Aquitaine, but it seems unclear as to whether he was a direct ancestor, or a brother of the source of that line.

	The Planctus for William Longsword main page
		William Longsword was the son of Rollo, founder of the Rollonid dynasty that would become dukes of Normandy and after 1066, kings of England.
		In William’s day, however, the Rollonid principality was still a fragile entity centered around Rouen and, in terms of Realpolitik, not extending far west of the Seine.
		Most of William’s career was spent in relative obscurity, but in the late 930s he suddenly emerged onto the stage of Frankish royal politics, first because of his war with Arnulf of Flanders, and then because of his support for King Louis IV (d’Outremer) at a time when Louis’ star seemed to be fading.

	The Battle of Bouvines according to William the Breton
		William the Breton was the personal chaplain and advisor to the French king Philip Augustus, and was present on the battlefield of Bouvines when the French forces under Philip defeated the German emperor Otto.
		This happened because Gauthier the Young, William of Garlande, their lances broken and their glaives bloodied, and Bartholomew of Roye, a good knight and wise man, and the others who were with them, judged and said that it was dangerous to leave the King alone behind them, following unprotected.
		On the very day of the battle, William Longsword, Count of Salisbury, was handed over to Count Robert of Dreux with the intent that he give him back to his brother, King John of England, in exchange for his son, who, as we have said earlier, he held in prison.
