    Gunnor ou Gonnor (vers 950-1031), fut la femme du duc de Normandie Richard Ier.

    Connue aussi sous le nom de Gunnor de Crépon ou Gunnora, son origine est mal établie. Elle pourrait être issue d'une famille danoise établie dans le pays de Caux1, cependant Crepon, aujourd'hui Crépon, se réfère à un toponyme du Bessin. Dudon de Saint-Quentin rapporte qu'elle appartient à une famille de la noblesse danoise2. Son père est Herbast(us) de Crépon, fils d'un certain Rainulf de Crépon, dont le progéniteur serait Roricon de Crépon (né vers 870), jarl venu du Danemark, fixé dans le duché de Normandie et qui devient ainsi le 1er seigneur de Crépon. Rainulf de Crépon épouse Gunnor de Danemark, fille du roi Gorm de Danemark et de Thyra Danebod son épouse. Gunnor de Normandie a pour frère Herfast de Crépon, père d’Osbern de Crépon, futur sénéchal de Normandie.

RHF 10, 324 (year only); Ex Obituario Gemmeticensi, RHF 23, 417 (4 Jan.); Notæ Monasterii Montis Sancti Micaelis, RHF 23, 576 (8 Jan.)]. Robert de Torigni, in his additions to GND, stated that was first Richard's mistress, and that the marriage occurred after the birth of the children. [GND viii, 36 (vol. 2, pp. 266-9)]
  7. Wikipedia gives a birth year of about 936, but lists children born as late as 985. Cawley estimates a birth year of about 950, which appears to fit better not only with her own children, but also with other family members.
