fr.Wikipédia (Auto-translated French):

"...In 1033, Onfroy de Vieilles, lord of Beaumont and Pont-Audemer, decided to rebuild the monastery plundered by the Normans. From 1035, monastic life resumed with the arrival of six monks from Fontenelle under the direction of Abbot Eimard. In 1040, Aubrée, wife of Onfroy, established a monastery of nuns at Saint-Michel-de-Préaux dedicated to Saint Léger.... At the end of his life, Onfroy de Vieilles took the monastic habit and ended his days at the abbey, as did his son Roger de Beaumont in 1094. They were buried there." — fr.Wikipédia "Abbaye Saint-Pierre de Préaux".

"Humphrey de Vieilles[1] (died c. 1050) was the first holder of the "grand honneur" of Beaumont-le-Roger, one of the most important groups of domains in eastern Normandy[2].... He was married to Albreda or Alberée de la Haye Auberie.

"His early life and origins are the subject of much discussion. As reported by later Norman chronicler Robert of Torigni, he was the son of Thorold de Pont-Audemer and grandson of a Torf, from whose name derived that of the village of Tourville-sur-Pont-Audemer.[3] Humphrey's mother, according to Robert of Torigni, was Duvelina, sister of Gunnor, concubine of Richard I, Duke of Normandy....."

Family and Descendants

"His known children by his wife Albreda or Alberée de la Haye were:

1. Robert, the elder, assassinated by Roger de Clères[6] after 1066 and buried at the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux;[7]
2. Roger de Beaumont, known as le Barbe († 1094), who succeeded his father.
3. Henri de Beaumont fights Roger de Toesny with his brother Roger, sent by his father in 1040.[8]
4. Dunelma (perhaps a corrupted form of Duvelina, the name of her grandmother) sister of Roger of Beaumont and mother of a daughter who was a nun at Saint-Léger de Préaux

One other possible child: Guillaume de Beaumont, Monk at the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Préaux"

The abbot of Bernay, Raoul, parent of Humphrey, would have entrusted to him between 1027 and 1040, part of the heritage of his monastery. Like other lords of the beginning of the 11th century, like the family of Bellême, he increased the family's power by recovering or winning of ecclesiastical lands
