Raiding Normandy and the Support of William’s Enemies

• From Rémalard, Robert and his supporters began raiding into Normandy, harassing Norman garrisons and supporters of King William.
• Their rebellion was encouraged by many of William’s enemies, who saw Robert as a useful tool against the Normans.
• William’s discovery that his wife, Queen Matilda, was secretly sending Robert money further strained relations within the family.
