He was subsequently however, more fortunate in a similar attempt upon Normandy, invading that country in 870. He achieved its complete conquest in 912 and was invested with the ducal dignity. He married Gilbette, daughter of Charles the Simple, King of France and had 2 sons. From the elder William, descended the Conqueror and from Robert, the younger, created Earl of Corbeil sprang 2 brothers.
