 Research Notes:
Guillaume of Jumièges records the rebellion of “ducis uno ex patre fratrem progenitum...Willelmum”, who had received “Oximensem” from his brother, his capture and imprisonment “in Rothomagensis urbis turre”, before his escape five years later and subsequent reconciliation with his brother who granted him “Ocensem comitatum” and his marriage to “Lezscelinam...filiam...Turchetilli”. Orderic Vitalis records that “Willermus Aucensis comes instinctu religionæ conjugis suæ Lezscelinæ” founded “abbatiam sanctæ Mariæ super rivulum Divæ”. "Lezelina comitissa" donated land bordering the Seine to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen dated [1049], which also names her three sons (in order) Hugues, Guillaume and Robert. Robert of Torigny's De Immutatione Ordinis Monachorum records that "Lecelina comitissa Aucensis relicta Willermi comitis" founded "mon. Sancti Petri super Divam virorum et mon. fem. ante urbem Lexoviensem" with "filiis suis Roberto comite Aucensi et Hugone episcopo Lexoviensi". 2
