Vide infra.

Liegarde [Hildebrante] de France, daughter of Robert I de France, is
reportedly the wife of Heribert II, [c. 880/890 -- 943] Comte de
Vermandois. This couple were the 4th Great-Grandparents of Guillaume
'le Conquerant'.

Luitgarde de Vermandois, daughter of this couple, was the _second_
wife of William I 'Longsword', 2nd Duke of Normandy and NOT an
ancestor of William The Bastard or even of Guillaume 'le Batard' ---
John Carmi Parsons, _Nota Bene_.

Sprota de Bretagne is the _first_ wife of William I 'Longsword' and
the 2nd Great-Grandmother of William The Conqueror.

So, Olin Tillotson [1926- ] seems to have screwed the pooch, as Gus
Grissom in his 'Liberty Bell 7' Mercury spacecraft would have said.

Yes, I see Tillotson's book was published in 1995, but that doesn't
mean it can be trusted, n'est-ce pas?

Vanity Publisher or Self-Published?

& Life --- for further salient details.
