Here first in English from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_II,_Duke_of_Normandy

Richard II (unknown - 28 August 1026), called the Good (French: Le Bon), was the eldest son and heir of Richard I the Fearless and Gunnora.[1][2] He was a Norman nobleman of the House of Normandy. He was the paternal grandfather of William the Conqueror.
Richard succeeded his father as Duke of Normandy in 996.[1] During his minority, the first five years of his reign (suggesting he was born circa 980), his regent was Count Rodulf of Ivry, his uncle, who wielded the power and put down a peasant insurrection at the beginning of Richard's reign.[3]
Richard had deep religious interests and found he had much in common with Robert II of France, who he helped militarily against the duchy of Burgundy.[3] He forged a marriage alliance with Brittany by marrying his sister Hawise to Geoffrey I, Duke of Brittany and by his own marriage to Geoffrey's sister, Judith of Brittany.[3]
In 1000-1001, Richard repelled an English attack on the Cotentin Peninsula that was led by Ethelred II of England.[4] Ethelred had given orders that Richard be captured, bound and brought to England.[5] But the English had not been prepared for the rapid response of the Norman cavalry and were defeated at the Battle of Val-de-Saire.[6]
Richard attempted to improve relations with England through his sister Emma of Normandy's marriage to King Ethelred.[4] This marriage was significant in that it later gave his grandson, William the Conqueror, the basis of his claim to the throne of England.[7] The improved relations proved to be beneficial to Ethelred when in 1013 Sweyn Forkbeard [Svend Tveskæg] invaded England. Emma with her two sons Edward and Alfred fled to Normandy followed shortly thereafter by her husband king Ethelred.[7] Soon after the death of Ethelred, Cnut [Knud], King of England [and Danmark] forced Emma to marry him while Richard was forced to recognize the new regime as his sister was again Queen.[4] Richard had contacts with Scandinavian Vikings throughout his reign. He employed Viking mercenaries and concluded a treaty with Sweyn Forkbeard who was en route to England.[8]
Richard II commissioned his clerk and confessor, Dudo of Saint-Quentin, to portray his ducal ancestors as morally upright Christian leaders who built Normandy despite the treachery of their overlords and neighboring principalities.[9] It was clearly a work of propaganda designed to legitimize the Norman settlement, and while it contains numerous historically unreliable legends, as respects the reigns of his father and grandfather, Richard I and William I it is basically reliable.[10] [Also his claim that Rollo of Normandie was from Fakse, Sjælland, Danmark].
In 1025 and 1026 Richard confirmed gifts of his great-grandfather Rollo to Saint-Ouen at Rouen.[11] His other numerous grants to monastic houses tends to indicate the areas over which Richard had ducal control, namely Caen, the Éverecin, the Cotentin, the Pays de Caux and Rouen.[12]
Richard II died 28 Aug 1026.[1] his eldest son, Richard becoming the new Duke.

He married firstly, c.1000, Judith (982-1017), daughter of Conan I of Brittany,[13][14] by whom he had the following issue:
Richard (c. 997/1001), duke of Normandy[1]
Robert (1000), duke of Normandy[1]
Alice of Normandy (c. 1003/5), married Renaud I, Count of Burgundy[1]
William (c. 1007/9), monk at Fécamp, d. 1025, buried at Fécamp Abbey[1][15]
Eleanor (c. 1011/3), married to Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders
Matilda (c. 1013/5), nun at Fecamp, d. 1033. She died young and unmarried.[16]

Secondly he married Poppa of Envermeu, by whom he had the following issue:
Mauger (c. 1019), Archbishop of Rouen
William (c. 1020/5), count of Arques

And a Danish text:
Richard 2. af Normandiet (død 1026) var hertug i Normandiet og gik under navnet Richard den Gode [Le Bon]. Han var søn af hertug Richard 1. den Frygtløse af Normandiet og hertuginde Gunnor. Han efterfulgte sin far som hertug af Normandiet i 996. Richard nærede modvilje imod bøndernes opstand og hjalp Robert 2. af Frankrig imod hertugdømmet Burgund. Han slog også et engelsk angreb på den kotentiske halvø tilbage, et angreb der blev ledet af den angelsaksiske kong Ethelred 2.. Richard søgte også at reformere de normanniske klostre.
Richard var gift 2 gange, først i 996 med Judith (død 1017), der var datter af Conan 1. af Bretagne dernæst med Papia. Børn af 1. ægteskab var:

He was the Duke of Normandy from 1027 until his death. He aided King Henry I of France against Henry's rebellious brother and mother, and for his help he was given the territory of the Vexin. He also intervened in the affairs of Flanders, supported his cousin Edward the Confessor who was then in exile at Robert's count and sponsored monastic reform in Normandy.

and a Life Sketch in Danish, from:
http://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_I_af_Normandiet
Robert 1. af Normandiet blev kaldt den Storslåede [le Magnifique] for sin forkærlighed for pynt (22. juni 1000 - 3. juli 1035) var søn af hertug Richard 2. af Normandiet og dennes hustru Judith, der var datter af Hertug Conan 1. af Bretagne.
Da Richard 2. døde, efterfulgte hans ældste søn ham som Richard 3. af Normandiet, mens Robert blev greve af Hiémois. Richard 3. døde dog inden et år, og der er stor mistanke om, at Robert skulle være indblandet i broderens død. Derfra fik han sit øgenavn Robert le Diable [Djævlen]. Robert hjalp kong Henrik 1. af Frankrig imod Henriks oprørske bror og mor, og for dette gav kongen ham land i Vexin. Han blandede sig også i Flanderns indre forhold, da han støttede Edvard Bekenderen, som var i eksil ved Roberts hof. Robert støttede også reformer i klostrene i Normandiet.
Med sin frille, Herleva, blev han far til den senere Vilhelm Erobreren.
En uægte datter, Adelaide, blev grevinde af Ponthieu og Champagne.
Efter at have gjort sin uægte søn Vilhelm til arving, tog han på pilgrimsrejse til Jerusalem og døde i Nikæa mellem 1. og 3. juli 1035. Sønnen Vilhelm var kun 8 år gammel, da han efterfulgte sin far. Man har søgt årsagen til, at Robert 1. af Normandiet deltog i ovennævnte pilgrimsrejse på trods af, at mange frarådede ham at drage af sted. Den engelske historiker David C. Couglas peger på, at Robert sandsynligvis følte et særligt behov for at få syndsforladelse. Man har senere påstået, at Robert ønskede at blive renset og opnå syndsforladelse for sin medvirken i broderens, Richard 3.'s død. I hvert fald er det absolut ikke usandsynligt, at Robert meget stærkt kan have følt kaldet fra Jerusalem. Resolut sammenkaldte han en skare af betydningsfulde normanniske stormænd, som imidlertid frarådede Robert at forlade et hertugdømme, som han netop havde erhvervet sig på baggrund af krigsførelse, og som han ville have svært ved at beholde, såfremt han forlod landet. Desuden anførte de, at han ikke kunne pege på en eneste person, som kunne træde i hans sted, hvis han drog til Jerusalem. Trods advarslerne drog Robert af sted for aldrig at vende tilbage igen. En af de første tre dage af juli i 1035 døde han i nærheden af Nikæa, i staten Bithynien, der tidligere var et selvstændig rige og ligger ud til den nordøstlige kyst af Tyrkiet ved Sortehavet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_the_Conqueror
William I (c. 1028 - 9 September 1087), usually known as William the Conqueror and sometimes William the Bastard,was the first Norman King of England, reigning from 1066 until his death in 1087. A descendant of Rollo, he was Duke of Normandy from 1035 onward. After a long struggle to establish his power, by 1060 his hold on Normandy was secure, and he launched the Norman conquest of England six years later. The rest of his life was marked by struggles to consolidate his hold over England and his continental lands and by difficulties with his eldest son.

William was the son of the unmarried Robert I, Duke of Normandy, by Robert's mistress Herleva. His illegitimate status and his youth caused some difficulties for him after he succeeded his father, as did the anarchy that plagued the first years of his rule. During his childhood and adolescence, members of the Norman aristocracy battled each other, both for control of the child duke and for their own ends. In 1047 William was able to quash a rebellion and begin to establish his authority over the duchy, a process that was not complete until about 1060. His marriage in the 1050s to Matilda of Flanders provided him with a powerful ally in the neighbouring county of Flanders. By the time of his marriage, William was able to arrange the appointment of his supporters as bishops and abbots in the Norman church. His consolidation of power allowed him to expand his horizons, and by 1062 William secured control of the neighbouring county of Maine.

In the 1050s and early 1060s William became a contender for the throne of England, then held by the childless Edward the Confessor, his first cousin once removed. There were other potential claimants, including the powerful English earl Harold Godwinson, who was named the next king by Edward on the latter's deathbed in January 1066. William argued that Edward had previously promised the throne to him and that Harold had sworn to support William's claim. William built a large fleet and invaded England in September 1066, decisively defeating and killing Harold at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. After further military efforts William was crowned king on Christmas Day 1066, in London. He made arrangements for the governance of England in early 1067 before returning to Normandy. Several unsuccessful rebellions followed, but by 1075 William's hold on England was mostly secure, allowing him to spend the majority of the rest of his reign on the continent.

William's final years were marked by difficulties in his continental domains, troubles with his eldest son, and threatened invasions of England by the Danes. In 1086 William ordered the compilation of the Domesday Book, a survey listing all the landholdings in England along with their pre-Conquest and current holders. William died in September 1087 while leading a campaign in northern France, and was buried in Caen. His reign in England was marked by the construction of castles, the settling of a new Norman nobility on the land, and change in the composition of the English clergy. He did not try to integrate his various domains into one empire but instead continued to administer each part separately. William's lands were divided after his death: Normandy went to his eldest son, Robert Curthose, and his second surviving son, William Rufus, received England.
