This we know by ample evidence. See what may have been the connection. Robert of Normandy, known as Robert II. , father of William the Norman, made the pilgrimage on foot to Jerusa- lem. History does not tell us which of his numerous crimes he sought to expiate, whether the wrong he had done Arlotta, the furrier's daughter, of Falaise, in the year 1024, whence was born William the Nor- man, Bastard and Conqueror, or the poisoning of Richard, his brother, in 1028, whose throne he seized and occu...pied. But penitence came in 1035, tardy indeed, but, like slow penitence in most cases, terri- ble even to remorse when it did at length seize him, EL HAKIM 89 and the stout knight fled apace to the sepulchre. On his return he died before reaching home ; but sent to France a piece of the True Cross, which was de- posited in an abbey. It is at least possible, and when we remember Harold's great emotion at that time, it seems highly probable that the piece of the cross which Robert sent home was one of the relics on which his son William made Harold swear that oath which unnerved his arm and ensured the con- quest of England by the Normans.
