Heritage
In 1026 one woman dared to say No. It was a day like any other day, but to Robert the Magnificent, it would be a day he would remember for the rest of his life for he discovered Herleve (Harlette). Having caught his eye, he sent for her to be ushered into the Castle of De Falaise, via the backway.
Herleve declined saying she would only enter the Duke’s castle on horseback through the front gate, and not as an ordinary commoner. Days passed and the Duke of Normandy filled with passion and desire finally conceded. Robert the Magnificent could do nothing but wait for this beauty and after three days agreed to Herleve’s wishes. Harlette rode a white horse in the best finery her family could afford and took her place to begin a love affair that would be written about in books for times to come.
For Herleve (Harlette) became the Mother of England. Giving birth to William the Conqueror in 1028 at The Château de Falaise. A castle located in the south of the commune of Falaise (“cliff” in French) in the calvados department of Normandy, France. As the story goes although he never married her, he stayed faithful to her till the very end.
