♂Fulbert of Falaise
Dates not yet known.
Fulbert of Falaise was the twenty-ninth great-grandfather of Nancy Jane Blanchard (1929–2006), through his daughter HerleveW.
Fulbert is said to have lived in the Norman town of Falaise and worked as a skinner, a dresser of hides. His daughter Herleve became the mother of Adelaide of Normandy. Nothing else is recorded of him: no dates, no wife and no other children are known.
Notes
Sources
The Complete Peerage (2nd ed., vol. 1, 1910, p. 351, under Aumale) names Herleve as the daughter of “Fulbert or Robert, a pelliparius of Falaise”, and the same entry makes Adelaide the illegitimate daughter of Robert, Duke of the Normans, by Herleve. The work is a compilation, so the facts are worded as reports. It gives his name as “Fulbert or Robert”, so the first name is not settled; this family history uses Fulbert. His trade is the Latin word pelliparius, a skinner or dealer in skins.
