Biography

This profile lacks supporting evidence from primary references.

Several secondary sources state Godefroi de Carteret to be a son of Guillaume based on Arthur Collins A History of the Noble Family of Carteret 1756^[1]. Collins does not provide a reference for Godefroi's existance .

Research Notes

Arthur Collins does refer to Historiae Normannorum scriptores antiqui but this reference only provides the surnames of those nobles who accompanied the Duke to England in 1066 and includes the surname Cateray^[2].

Le Cercle de Carteret claims Godefroi was born about 0981. He passed away about 1047^[3]. No supporting sources are provided for these dates.

Payne's Armorial of Jersey provides the following information on Godefroi ^[4], all without sources:

• He succeeded his brother Guillaume as Seigneur de Carteret and had four children , the names of two being:

• Onfroi (Abt 1042 -1100)
• Mauger (Abt 1045 -)

• Godfrey founded the Abbey of Fontenelle, on his return from a pilgrimage to an unnamed shrine.
