• Web Reference: Charles Cawley's Medieval Lands, Robert Comte d'Evreux.
"She is called "a wife named Herleve" whom the bishop took "in his capacity as count" by Orderic Vitalis [Orderic Vitalis (Chibnall), Vol. III, Book V, p. 85]. Orderic Vitalis, in another passage, says that "the practice of celibacy among the clergy was so relaxed that not only priests but even bishops freely shared their beds with concubines and openly boasted of their numerous progeny" [ Orderic Vitalis (Chibnall), Vol. III, Book V, p. 121]."

Herleva married Robert d’Évreux archevêque de Rouen, son of Richard I "the Fearless" de Normandy Princeps Nortmannorum and Gunnor. (Robert d’Évreux archevêque de Rouen was born in 964 in Evreux, Eure, Normandy, France and died in Evreux, Eure, Normandy, France.)
