Yes, thanks for the correction. It must have been Searle that I was
thinking of.

The Stasser reference is:

Stasser, Thierry. '"Mathilde, fille du Comte Richard": essai
d'identification.' Annales de Normandie, 40:49-64 (1990).

(Note that he also follows Vajay in including among Richard's children
the two wives of Tancred de Hauteville, whom others had variably
assigned as daughters of Richard I or one of his other sons.
