William's heart was left to Rouen Cathedral,( which he had founded) and his entrails were interred at the church in Chalus. HIs burial place has been often disturbed: in 1522, Rome instructed an examination of the grave contents; in 1562, Calvinists caused "complete devastation" of the tomb, in which the only bit of remains of the Conqueror was a thigh bone ( it was reburied under a new monument); the grave was again demolished in the riots of the revolution of 1793. What was the grave of William the Conqueror is today marked with a stone slab. It is believed that William the Conqueror had no illegitimate issue. His reputation was one of faithfulness to his wife.

Notes:
Name:
Adela was born around 1062 and was the youngest daughter of William the Conqueror and his wife Mathilde of Flanders. She was very well educated, spoke several languages, and was deeply religious. Around 1080/81, she married Stephen III, Count of Blos who was one of the richest men in Europe and a king in all but name. They had eleven children.
Adela's formidable political abilities first showed themselves in 1095 when Stephen became one of the leaders of the First Crusade and left for the Holy Land. He was County of Blois, Champagne, Brie, and Chartres and controlled hundreds of estates in France. he was away four years, and Adela was such an effective ruler of his domains in his absence that she became known as "the heroine of the Fist Crusade."
From 1099 when Stephen returned until he departed again on the Crusade of 1101, Adela continued to support several scholars and poets that she had invited to her court and that significantly contributed to the spiritual and cultural life of her era.
From 1101, Adela was once again ruling Stephen's domains. After May 1102 when he was killed at the battle of Ramleh, she became regent for their eldest son Thibaud and was the most important woman in Europe until he came of age in 1109. She generously endowed abbeys and churches. Several letters on ecclesiastical matters written to her by Hildebert, bishop of Le Mans, have survived.
Around 1122, Adela became a nun, entered the Cluniac priory of Marigney-sur-Loiure, and died there on 8 march 1137. She was buried in Caen in the abbey of the Holy Trinity next to her mother and her sister Cecilia.
Adela's brothers William and Henry both became kings of England, as William II and Henry I. So did her son Stephen.

12. | Agatha Princess Of ENGLAND (2.William2, 1.Robert1) was born about 1064 in Normandy, France; died before 1086 in Calvados, France; was buried in Bayeux, Calvados, France. Notes:
Some authorities question whether Agatha belongs in this family; Taute' includes Agatha in this family. It may have been Agatha who was betrothed firth to Harold, Earl of Wessex, and then to Alphonso, King of Gallicia. Douglas in "William the Conqueror", pgs. 393-394, discusses the daughters of William the Conqueror and matilda, adding that "Ordericus Vitalis" mentions 5 daughters, one being Agatha, who was betrothed to Harold Godwinson of Wessex and Alphonso of Spain and who died unmarried. While the careers of daughters Cecily, Adela and Constance are well know, less is known concerning the lvies (or even existence) of Agatha, Adeliza, and Matilda. "The separate existence of Agatha and Adeliza is not certain, and the evidence about Matilda is less than sataisfactory." (Douglas, "William the Conqueror, pg 395.)

14. | Henry I "Beauclerc" King Of ENGLAND (2.William2, 1.Robert1) was born in Sep 1068 in Selby, England; died on 01 Dec 1135 in (of food poisoning) Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France; was buried on 04 Jan 1136 in Reading Abbey, Reading, Berkshire, England. Other Events and Attributes:

Notes:
Henry was the only one of his father's children to be born in England. Henry I was called Beauclerc because of his love of learning and knowledge. Concerning the name, Henry; according to "Complete Peerage" by Cokayne, Vol. 3, Appendix C, "Before Henry VII the name Henry appeared almost invariably in the forms 'Harry' or Herry' in English Privy Seals." Henry and Adela had no children. Again according the "Complete Peerage", Vol 11, Appendix D, "it seems fairly certain that Henry was the father of at least 9 sons and 11 daughters." It adds, however, "there is no satisfactory modern list of Henry's bastards." Given-Wilson and Curteis (pg 60) state that Henry was father of "at least twenty royal bastards, more than any other king in English history.". There were advantages to a king's having bastards. The marriages of bastards could be used to cement alliances, and, most importantly, bastards were greatly loyal: "being illegitimate, they were almost entirely dependent on the king for advancement.
