Richard II of Normandy

Richard II of Normandy (c.966-August 23, 1036), also known as Richard The Good, (French, "Le Bon"). He was the son and heir of Richard I the Fearless and the Duchess Gunnor.

Richard succeeded his father as Duke in 996. In that same year he was married to Judith, daughter of Conan I, Duke of Brittany. They had six children before her death in 1017:

  1. Richard III of Normandy
  2. Robert the Magnificent
  3. William, monk at Fécamp, died 1025.
  4. Adélaide, married Renaud I, Count of Burgundy
  5. Eleanor (or perhaps Ainor or Judith), who married Count Baldwin IV of Flanders
  6. Matilda, died a virgin in 1033.

Richard II held his own against a peasant insurrection, helped Robert II of France against the duchy of Burgundy, and repelled an English attack on the Cotentin Peninsula that was led by the Anglo-Saxon King Ethelred II the Unready. He also pursued a reform of the Norman monasteries.

After Judith's death, Richard remarried to a woman named Papia. They had two children: Mauger, archbishop of Rouen , and William, count of Arques. Richard died in 1036 at Fécamp.
