William I The Conqueror King of England

[[email protected]]

By his father's will, William succeeded him as Duke of Normandy
at age seven in 1035 and was known as Duke William of
Normandy (French: Guillaume, duc de Normandie; Latin:
Guglielmus Dux Normanniae). William was knighted by Henry at
age 15. As Duke of Normandy, he is known as William II. He
was also, particularly before the conquest, known as William the
Bastard.

Was his father's will in Latin, and was his birth name Guglielmus
Dux Normanniae? Is his father's will first we hear of him? What
was his name/style in Latin when knighted? His father was Robert
the Magnificent, so why was he named/styled William II Duke of
Normandy and not Robert II Duke of Normandy? Was William an
ancestral name? Or was it plain Duke William of Normandy, knight?
Who named him William the Bastard? Why?


By his father's will, William succeeded him as Duke of Normandy at
age seven in 1035 and was known as Duke William of Normandy (French:
Guillaume, duc de Normandie; Latin: Guglielmus Dux Normanniae).

Is the will of the father of William I The Conqueror King of England
the first mention of him in history? If so, in that will, how is he
referred
to? If in Latin, quote original and offer a translation.
