    Find a Grave - Memorial Text,
    Robert the Magnificent, also called Robert the Devil and Robert I or II, was the Duke of Normandy. He was the son of Richard II of Normandy and Judith de Brittany,
    daughter of Conan I of Rennes. He was the father of William the Conqueror.
    When his father died, his elder brother Richard succeeded, whilst he became Count of Hiémois. When Richard died a year later, there were great suspicions that Robert had Richard murdered, hence his other nickname, "Robert le diable" ("the devil").
    By his mistress, Herleva of Falaise, he was father of the future William I of England and Adelaide of Normandy.
    After making his illegitimate son William his heir, he set out on pilgrimage to Jerusalem. According to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum he travelled by way of Constantinople, reached Jerusalem, and died on the return journey at Nicaea on 2 July 1035. Some sources attribute his death to poison and date it to 1 or 3 July. His son William, aged about eight, succeeded him.
    Around 1086 William sent a mission to Constantinople and Nicaea, charging it with bringing his father's body back to be buried in Normandy. Permission was granted, but, having travelled as far as Apulia (Italy) on the return journey, the envoys learned that William himself had meanwhile died. They then decided to re-inter Robert's body in Italy.
