After Godfrey's Count of Eu rebelled c996, William was given the title of Comte d'Eu. He had already been Count of Heimois (or Exmes as it is now known).nn AT yahoo.com:he Exmesin of Heimois. gitte/royal/bio/roberteubio.html] mes/f030.htm#I1402X2] ul 2002] Note: Earl is an English _only_ title & I am skeptical of his connection to Toulouse in far se France whereas his father was duc d'Normandie in far nw France... Curt ter escaping, he submitted to the Duke, was pardoned, and was given the comte of Eu, of which his nephew, Gilbert (ancestor of the family of Clare) had been recently deprived. [Ref: CP V:151] Note: CP has (I believe) confused the chronology. It was Williams brother Godfrey/Godfroi who rebelled & was deprived of Eu. Godfreys son (William's nephew) Gilbert/Giselbert Crispin did assume the land and title when William died, but he was assassinated in 1040. Note: Gilberts date of death from Altschul, ES III:156, Wagner, Watney & Wurts who all say either 1040 or thereabouts seems to confirm the date of death of William per ES III:693 as shortly bef. 1040 ad been Count of Heimois. [Ref: TAF 28 Mar 2001] rt (who I have as his son-in-law) became Count of Eu and d. 1040; so William had to have died at least a year or two before 1040.
