- Richard II "le Bon/l'Irascible", Duc de Normandie (d. 23 Aug 1026) bur. Fécamp
Richard is the son of Richard I, Duke of Normandie and Gunnora. He had two wives: Judith de Bretagne and Papia (Poppa). In total, they bore him eight (8) known children.[6][7]
According to Cawley (2006), Richard was also betrothed Estrid "Margaret" Svensdatter some time after 1017, but repudiated her.[8] Baldwin (2006), elaborates on the problems with this theory, particulary because it's also been said that she was betrothed to Robert. [9]

Sources
↑ Cawley (2006), states her alias is Judith, but Baldwin (2006) attributes the alias of Judith to the wife of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders.
↑ Cawley (2006), calls him Robert II, Duke of Normandy.[1] while Baldwin (2006), refers to him Robert I "le Magnifique" Duke of Normandy.[2]
↑ Cawley (2006), cites her as Eleonore, while Baldwin (2006) disputes this and says that Eleonore and Judith are aliases for an unknown given name.[3]
↑ Baldwin (2006), seems certain she was named Mathilde,[4] but Cawley (2006) is not.[5]
