     Fulbert de Falaise (?) was born circa 978 at Falaise, Normandy, France. He married Doda de Falaise (?). Fulbert de Falaise (?) [CR:]
Fulbert de Falaise (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 67, Line 89-31). Fulbert was possibly mistakenly thought of as a tanner rather than a mortician. Orderic in his Historia Ecclesiastica, the knight Herluin prepared the burial of William the Conqueror. He brought persons 'pollinctores' to lay out the corpse of the King, and bearers 'vispillionwa', and paid them himself for the work they did. The elaborate 11th-Century description of the procedure followed in ca se of death in a monatery, given by Lanfranc in his monastic rule states the chamberlain was one of the persons in charge of burials. This is precisely the office Herleva's father obtained at the ducal court. Again, we owe this information to Orderic. In Book VII of the 'Gesta', he writes that Duke William was the son of Duke Robert's concubine, Arlette, who was the daughter of Fulbert, Chamberlain of the Duke. The words 'Fulberti Cubicularii ducis filia natus' are written on an erasure in his autographed manuscript. The original text cannot be reconstructed. Bearing in mind that the first part of the Alencon interpolation occurs in the first part of the same manuscript, it seems as if Orderic obtained fresh information about Harlette's origins after he had finished most of the writing of the 'Gesta'. It is very likely that Duke Robert appointed Fulbert, Arlette's father, as his Chamberlain, after the birth of his son, William. No contemporary evidence of Fulbert's position in the ducal household, however, survives. The name of Duke William's birthplace, Falaise, is also mentioned by Orderic, for the first time. As Douglas pointed out, Robert must have met Arlette while involved in defending the place against his brother, Duke Richard III [1026 - 1027]. We may conclude that all information about Arlette's origins derives from Orderic Vitalis who wrote more than eighty years after Duke Robert met his concubine at Falaise. In that town, William was born. His mother Arlette was the daughter of Fulbert who, as a pollinctor, had laid out corpses for bu ial and who might therefore have been an embalmer. At an unknown date, after William's birth, Fulbert became ducal Chamberlain. The story that he was peltere, tanner, or tailor was stated in the works of Wace and of Benoit in the second half of the 12th. Century. This tradition was enhanced by the influence of the two 17th. Century Editions of the 'Gesta'.

     King Edmund (?) II Estimates of Edmund's birth date range from 980 to 994.

The son of King Ethelred II the Unready (reigned 978?1016), Edmund defied his father's orders by marrying(1015) the widow of one of the Danish lords then occupying English territory. Nevertheless, when Canute invaded England later in 1015, Edmund raised an army in northern England and ravaged regions that would not rally to his cause. Upon Ethelred's death (April 1016), a small number of councillors and citizens of London proclaimed Edmund as their ruler, but a larger body of nobles at Southampton declared for Canute. Edmund then launched a series of offensives against his rival. He recovered Wessex and relieved London of a siege before being decisively defeated by Canute at Ashington, Essex, on October 18. In the ensuing peace settlement, Edmund retained Wessex, while Canute held the lands north of the River Thames. After Edmund died (probably of natural causes), Canute became sole ruler of England.
