Subject: Canute II King Denmark/England married Emma deCourcy of Normandy

Canute II king Denmark/England & Emma of Normany, deCourcy

Richard I the fearless of Normandy, Duke of Normandy b. 933,
daughter Emma married Canute (as her second husband) to make
better ties between the Norman & Viking relatives.

Richard II the Good of Normandy: had

1st son Richard III of Normandy, Duke of Normandy
2nd son Robert II the Devil of Normandy, Duke of Normandy

Robert II has William the Conqueror as a son, who later takes over
England & Governs Normandy

What are the links to William the Conqueror that make him
connected to the deCourcy or version of name? ( I have a source
that states the His father & fathers father etc.. were part of
what one branch became know as the de Coucy/deCourcy. Then why
don't other books use this name? His best friend was related to
him, Richard deCourcy. (whos line out lined in "Royal Ancestry of
Magna Carta Barons" shows Richard deCourcy coming down from
Charles III, King of France.) In that line where does the name
deCourcy begin?

I have also found links that (using the Royal Data Base
http://www.dcs.hull.ac.uk/public/genealogy/royal/catalog.html)
that these lines go back to Odin...

I have to many gaps, to many versions of names. Need sources,
books, contacts of associations etc..

Thank you for your assistance.

Stay true to the Fire With-in,

Garland Elizabeth deCourcy
