This profile has been edited with regard to parents in accordance with principles established by the European Aristocracy user-group. Medieval genealogy is not an exact science, and digital collaborative genealogy must therefore occasionally make choices where old-fashioned print-scholarship did not have to. The parents (or lack of parents) of the person described in this profile were decided upon in consultation with primary sources especially as collected in the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy’s Medieval Lands project. There is, in particular, NO EVIDENCE AT ALL OF ANY DESCENT FROM THE KINGS OF DENMARK.
Extract from Wikipedia Gunnora
Gunnora long acted as Richard's mistress or wife by "more danico", but when Richard was prevented from nominating their son Robert to be Archbishop of Rouen, the two were married, making their children legitimate in the eyes of the church. As duchess, was able to use her influence to see her kin favored, and several of the most prominent Conquest-era Norman magnates, including the Montgomery, Warenne, Mortimer, Vernon/Redvers, and Fitz Osbern families, were descendants of her brother and sisters.

Crépon-81 shows no husband, but has the same 6 children as Crepon-78 and a Josceline whose father is Bolebec-29, who has a married to a Hugues Montgomery and they have a son Roger Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury. Crépon-82 has a husband (Bolebec-30) , but their 7 children have names that indicate they may have different fathers. The research I am doing is with paper and pencil, for me to sort through it would require me to write it out by hand, and even then that may not fix it. But I do not have any sources to double check with.
