William I, Count of Eu (978-after 1057), illegitimate son of Richard I, Duke of 
Normandy. Count of Eu and Count of Hiémois. William succeeded his nephew as 
Count of Eu and Hiémois after his murder in 1040. [Some believe that William and 
Geoffrey are both the sons of Richard's mistress Gunnora de Crepon, but Dudo of 
Saint-Quentin disputes this.[1]]

William rebelled against his half-brother Richard II, Duke of Normandy, and was 
captured by Raoul d’Ivry and imprisoned by Turquetil of Harcourt, former governor of 
William the Conqueror.. He escaped five years later and, eventually, was pardoned by 
Richard and given leave to marry into the Harcourt family.

William married Lesceline, daughter of Turquetil. William and Lesceline had three 
children:
William Busac, the eldest son and heir until his revolt against the duke at the latest in 
1048, for a time Count of Eu, then Count of Soissons, de jure uxoris
Robert of Eu (d. between 1089 and 1093), who succeeded his brother as Count of Eu 
after the revolt of the latter
Hugues d'Eu (d. 17 July 1077), bishop-count of Lisieux from 1049 to 1077.

William’s son and namesake succeeded him a count of Eu.
