Research Notes: Husband - Giselbert "Crispin" de Brionne



His mother was apparently Haloise de Guînes.  Father uncertain.

From Wikipedia - Gilbert, Count of Brionne :

Gilbert or Giselbert "Crispin", (1000-1040) was a Norman noble, Count of Eu , and Count of Brionne  in northern France .

Parentage
The reference listed below states he was the son of Geoffrey, Count of Eu  (b. 962) who was an illegitimate child of Richard the Fearless . Some sources say Gislebert was the son of Godfrey of Brionne and Eu , others that he was the son of Gilbert, Baron of Bec . Still others claim that his father was Crispin de Bec  (b. 940). Gislebert's mother was apparently Haloise de Guînes (b. 942).

Life
Whatever his parentage, he inherited Brionne, becoming one of the most powerful landowners in Normandy . He married Gunnora d'Aunou (Gunmore d'Ainon) in 1012. He had children by his wife and a mistress. The name "Crispin" is said to have referred to the family's erect curly hair.

Gislebert was a generous benefactor to Bec Abbey  founded by his former knight Herluin in 1031.

When Robert II, Duke of Normandy  died in 1035 his illegitimate son William  inherited his father's title. Several leading Normans, including Gilbert of Brionne, Osbern the Seneschal and Alan of Brittany, became William's guardians.

Death
A number of Norman barons including Raoul de Gacé would not accept an illegitimate son as their leader. In 1040 an attempt was made to kill William but the plot failed. Gilbert however was murdered while he was peaceably riding near Eschafour. It is believed two of his killers were Ralph of Wacy and Robert de Vitot. This appears to have been an act of vengeance for wrongs inflicted upon the orphan children of Giroie by Gilbert, and it is not clear what Raoul de Gacé had to do in the business. Fearing they might meet their father's fate, his sons Richard  and his brother Baldwin were conveyed by their friends to the court of Baldwin, Count of Flanders.

Children
Gilbert was the great progenitor of the illustrious house of Candia  of the Viscount of Geneva  and in England of the illustrious house of de Clare , of the Barons Fitz Walter, and the Earls of Gloucester  and Hertford .
Esilia Crispin , (1028-1072), m. William Malet , Seigneur of Granville, (ca. 1042).
Roger Crispin  de Candiæ, (1029-10--), m. Lady of Burgundes , Seigneur of Chateau de Candie in Chambery , latter Viscount of Geneva; founder of the family de Candiæ.
