Anslech De Bricquebec
Anslech or Anslec de Bricquebec (active in the 930s and 940s) played a major political role in the first days of the duchy of Normandy, though the sources on him are rather opaque. In the Anglo-Norman chronicles Around 1000, Dudo of Saint-Quentin evoked Anslech as one of the three ''secretarii'' to the jarl of the Normans, William I (v.927-942). A later source, ''le Roman de Rou'', explains that Anslech supported William when Rioulf began an important rebellion against him. We see the same figure again in the writings of William of Jumièges. After the assassination of William I, Anslech, Raoul Taisson ''l'Ancien'' and Bernard the Dane formed what William of Jumièges called "guardians of the whole duchy of Normandy", awaiting the majority of the new duke Richard. In 943, they welcomed the king of the Franks, Louis IV to Rouen, who came as overlord to receive the homage of the inhabitants of Rouen. Rise and fall The sagas from Norway and the islands make Anslech a Norman noble ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
