Biography

From the eldest, Anslac de Bastembourg, came the Bertrams, Sires de Briquebec, and the younger house of Montfort-sur-Rille. ^[1]

"In the rebellion of Rioulf of St. Sauveur against William Longsword in 933, Anslech, baron of Briquebec, is mentioned by Wace as being one of the three barons who remained faithful to the duke, by rendering him military service at the siege of Rouen. After the duke's death, Anslach was appointed one of the three guardians of his son, the young Duke Robert, at a crisis which required a rare union of courage, firmness, and discretion, and he fulfilled his trust with infinite reputation to himself, and advantage to his country." ^[2]
