ROBERT I

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 400 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RHY-RON
ROBERT I . (d. 1035), called Robert the Devil, was the younger son of
Richard
  II., duke of Normandy (d. 1026), who bequeathed to him the county of Exmes. In 1028 he succeeded his brother,
Richard
  III., whom he was accused of poisoning, as duke of Normandy. His time was mainly spent in fighting against his rebellious vassals. At his
court
  Robert sheltered the exiled
English
  princes,
Edward
 , afterwards King
Edward
  the Confessor, and his brother Alfred, and fitted out a
fleet
  for the purpose of restoring them to their
inheritance
 , but this was scattered by a
storm
 . When returning from a
pilgrimage
  to Jerusalem, he died at Nicaea on the 22nd of July 1035. His successor as duke was his natural son, William the Conqueror, afterwards king of England. In addition to winning for him his surname, Robert's strength and ferocity afforded material for many stories and legends, and he is the subject of several poems and romances (see ROBERT THE DEVIL below).
