"RAOUL d'Ivry ([942/50]-after 1011). Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Richardus dux primus” consulted “Rodulfo comite suo equidem uterino fratre” about his succession before he died[226]. It is assumed that he was born after the death of Comte Guillaume I, but it is unlikely that he was born much later than 945 if it is correct that the birth of his older half-brother Richard can be dated to [1032] (see the document NORMANDY DUKES). Comte [de Bayeux]. [m firstly ALBREDA, daughter of --- (-murdered ----). Orderic Vitalis records that “Albereda uxor Radulfi Bajocensis comitis” built “arcem de Ibreio” [Ivry] which “Hugo Bajocensis episcopus frater Johannis Rotomagensis archiepiscopi” defended “contra duces Normannorum multo tempore”, adding that it was reported that “præfata matrona” beheaded “Lanfredum architectum” after the castle was finished so that he could not build a similar structure for anyone else, and tried to expel her husband who killed her[227]. It is not certain that “Albereda” in Orderic’s passage was the same person as “Eremburgam” in Guillaume de Jumièges. It is curious that Orderic does not state in his text that Hugues Bishop of Bayeux and Jean Archbishop of Rouen were the children of “Albereda”: the omission would best be explained if they were born from another marriage of Raoul and “Eremburgam” their mother was a different person from “Albereda”. If this speculation is correct, the chronology of the children of Raoul suggests that they were born later in his life, presumably from a second marriage if he did marry twice, in which case Albreda would have been his first wife.] m [secondly] [as her first husband,] EREMBURGE [de Caville/Cacheville], daughter of ---. Guillaume of Jumièges records that “Rodulphum” married “Erembergam...natam in quadam villa Calcini territorii...Cavilla” and that they had “duos filios Hugonem postea episcopum Baiocensem et Ioannem Abricatensem...”[228]. Comte Raoul & his [second] wife had four children.' [1]

Categories: Estimated Birth Date
Our current birthplace is strictly wrong. This man built the stone castle at Ivry-la-Bataille and is the half-brother of eponymous Normandie family via connected Sprota. So, he's from Normandy not Burgundy. This doesn't even need sourcing frankly as it's historically self-evident given where & when the Normans were when Sprota became wife in "Danish tradition."
This is a garble with Ivry-en-Montagne, Côte-d'Or, on the far side of France:

Unrelated to this profile or the Normandie family, 400km away, Ivry-en-Montagne in this era presumably fell under Dijon & Chalons (it's in-between and the same family had both) so ruled by one of these folks:

NOTE: the usage of d'Ivry (or any other territory, for that matter) did not come into general usage until about 1040. Before that, the title of Comte (or count) was used, but no "of anything"
Do we have a rule of thumb or project-level name policy for transitional era* Norman LNABs?
I understand it's super complicated.

There are other duplicates of Ralph/Ranulph/Raoul de Bayeux around, but they have serious data problems
I'm not sure those are "duplicates" or perhaps just fictitious people synthetized to make the various Malahulc/Rollo era fake pedigrees work. See the Disproven/Disconnected section on, I think it's Malahulc (still connected here as grandfather). I think we should be brutal in ending lines rather than tolerating un-sourced connections. Because, I fear, the more we merge profiles scattered around WikiTree (many just parroting gibberish inherited via GEDs from less diligenct researchers on other sites ie Geni etc) we perpetuate synthetic history or just fake people.
FMG evidences this man existed. But we have a WikiTree-level dispute about his LNAB (and his father's LNAB). See via link above:
