[Commentyary]Cawley: "The name of Richard’s wife is not known. She is called “Emma” in the Complete Peerage, but the primary source on which this is based has not been identified. A manuscript relating to St Werburgh’s Chester records that “Hugo Lupus filius ducis Britanniæ et nepos Gulielmi magni ex sorore” transformed the foundation into a monastery. This suggests that Hugues’s mother may have been a uterine sister of King William, and therefore daughter of Herluin de Conteville. However, no indication has been in other primary sources which supports the contention that Hugues was the son of a duke of Brittany. It is assumed therefore that both lines of his parentage have been romanticised in this document to improve his status and reputation. Another possibility is that she was related to the Grantmesnil family: Orderic Vitalis records that “Rodbertus, Unfridi filius” [Robert of Rhuddlan, son of Onfroi de Tilleul and his wife Adelise de Grantmesnil] went “cum Hugone consobrino suo, Richardi de Abrincis cognomento Goz filio” to England. If the relationship is as indicated by Orderic, from a chronological point of view Richard’s wife could have been --- de Grantmesnil, daughter of Robert de Grantmesnil & his wife Hawise ---". Ormerod says that she was Emma de Conteville, the the half-sister of William the Conqueror (daughter of Herluin, Viscount of Conteville and Herleve), but Ancestral Roots 7 says "Prof. Douglas says "fictitious". (Douglas, cit., pp. 92-93; Douglas, "The Rise of Normandy", pp. 127-128) "
