Richard III (1001-1027) was the eldest son of Richard II who died in 1026.[1] Richard's short reign lasted less than a year. It opened with a revolt by his brother and finished in his death by unknown causes. Life Around 1020, Richard's father sent him in command of a large army to rescue his brother-in-law, Reginald, later Count of Burgundy, by attacking bishop and count Hugh of Chalon, who had captured and imprisoned Reginald.[2] When Richard II died in August of 1026, as the eldest son, Richard III became Duke of Normandy. Shortly after his reign began his brother Robert, discontented with his province of Hyemes on the border of Normandy, revolted against his brother. He laid siege to the town of Falaise, but was soon brought to heel by Richard who captured him, then released him on his oath of fealty. No sooner had Richard disbanded his army and returned to Rouen, when he died suddenly (some say suspiciously). The duchy passed to his younger brother Robert I.[3] Marriage In January of 1027 he was married to Adela,[4] a younger daughter of King Robert II of France.[4] After Richard's death 6 August 1027,[1] Adela secondly married Baldwin V, Count of Flanders.[4] Issue By an unknown mistress or mistresses, Richard had two children: Alice/Alix, who married Ranulph, Viscount of Bayeux[1][5] Nicolas, Monk at Fecamp, Abbot of Saint-Ouen, Rouen (died 26 Feb 1092)[1][6] References ^ Jump up to: a b c d Detlev Schwennicke, Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten, Neue Folge, Band III Teilband 1, Herzogs und Grafenhäuser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches Andere Europäiche Fürstenhäuser (Marburg, Germany: Verlag von J.

He married a daughter of Duke Richard III and was among the defeated rebels at Val-ès-Dunes. None the less, the office continued in the family, for he was succeeded by another Rannulf (II) who was established at Avranches before the Norman conquest, and who survived until after April 1089. Moreover, this second Rannulf married Maud, daughter of Richard, vicomte of the Avranchin, thus linking together two powerful vice-comital dynasties which were later in turn to determine the succession of the earldom of Chester.”).
