Herleva of Falaise, Mother of William the Conqueror. By Susan Abernethy. Legends states the young Duke Robert I of Normandy was on the walkway of his castle at Falaise looking down at the river and discovered a beautiful young girl washing clothes. He asked to see her and she became his mistress.
Robert fathered an illegitimate son by a woman named Herleva, who was from the town of Falaise and the daughter of a chamberlain. The child, William, was born in about 1028. The castle (12th–13th century), which overlooks the town from a high crag, was formerly the seat of the Dukes of Normandy.
Herleva or Arlette was the mother of William the Conqueror. According to later legend, she was a young woman in the town of Falaise who attracted the attention of Duke Robert of Normandy when she was washing in the river near his castle, and he took her for his mistress.
