https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard,_Count_of_%C3%89vreux
Richard, Count of Évreux (died 1067) was a powerful member of the Norman 
aristocracy during the early and later reign of William, Duke of Normandy.
Life[edit]

Richard was the eldest son of Robert II Archbishop of Rouen and Count of Évreux and 
Herleva.[1] Richard, son of the Archbishop Robert, donated a mill at Evreux to the 
abbey of Jumièges by charter dated [26 Mar 1038/14 Apr 1039]. He is mentioned in a 
charter of King William I confirming Richard as having been a benefactor to that 
abbey.[2] Richard and his wife, Godechildis, founded Saint-Sauveur d´Evreux.[3] He, 
as Count of Evreux, donated the church of Gravigny to Sainte-Trinité de Rouen, dated 
[1052/66]. Richard donated the tithe of a town to the abbey of Saint-Taurin.[4]

Some scholars report him as taking part in the battle of Hastings on 14 Oct 1066, but 
it is unlikely due to his advanced age and death the next year. His son, William, was 
one of the few known Companions of William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings 
in 1066.[5] William contributed 80 ships to the invasion of England in 1066 as Count 
of Évreux.[6] Richard died in 1067.[1]

Family[edit]

Richard married after 1040, Godechildis, widow of Roger de Conches who is also 
known as Roger I of Tosny. [a]

Richard and Godechildis had the following issue:
William, Count of Évreux († 1118), succeeded his father as Count of Évreux.[1]
Godehildis, nun at St. Sauveur, Évreux[7]
Agnes, married Simon I de Montfort[b][1]
