Mauger de Normandie "Count of Corbeil"

Mauger de Normandie, later known as Count of Corbeil, was reportedly born about 967. The family-tree notes describe him as the second son of Richard I, surnamed “the Fearless,” Duke of Normandy. Although later material calls him Count of Corbeil, the notes state that Norman records do not disclose another title for him beyond “de Normandie.”

He married Germaine de Corbeil. The principal notes identify her as a daughter of Aymon, Count of Corbeil, and Elizabeth; another supplied account calls her the daughter and heir of Albert, Count of Corbeil. The same material maintains that Mauger held the county of Corbeil in right of his wife. It also suggests that he must have possessed an estate of substantial importance in his own right, but this is presented as an inference rather than a documented title.

Mauger and Germaine are credited in the supplied notes with sons named Guillaume, also called Werlac; Hamon, surnamed Dentatus; and Hugh, Bishop of Bayeux. A Burke’s Peerage account differs concerning Guillaume, describing him as an elder son who died without issue as a monk of the Abbey of St. Maur, while naming Hamon as Count of Corbeil. This variation leaves the claimed descent through Guillaume uncertain.

A passage attributed to Guillaume de Jumièges states that Robert II, Duke of Normandy, sent “son oncle paternal Mauger comte de Corbeil” to assist King Henri I of France during the rebellion of Queen Constance in 1031 or 1032. The supplied material attributes this statement to Mauger, Count of Corbeil, but its stated family relationship requires further verification.

Mauger is said to have died in 1040.
