In 1095, Guigues contracted an exemplary marriage with the high-born Matilda, long thought to be the daughter of Edgar the Aetheling, but now thought more likely to have been a daughter of Roger I of Sicily, the Great Count, and his third wife, Adelaide del Vasto. Patrick Deret, however, alleges, on the basis of possible birth dates, that her mother must have been Roger's second wife, Eremburga of Mortain.[1]

Father is Hauteville-41 and mother is Evreux-36.
I believe you need to request the Project Person(s) to change this.
(Mother seems OK?)
Are we saying The Fox impregnated his brother's wife, and Mathilda is their bastard?
Or do we just have the wrong brother connected to the mother and daughter?
