See: Douglas, Earliest Norman Counts, ''EHS'' 61, No. 240 (1946), p.134.〕 in the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. == Life == He was a son of Duke Richard I of Normandy,〔J.H. Round, The Family of Clare, ''The Archaeological Journal'', Vol. LVI, Second Series Vol. VI, (1899), pp. 223-4〕 by an unnamed wife or concubine.〔Edmund Chester Waters, The Counts of Eu, Sometime Lords of the Honour of Tickhill, ''The Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal'', No. 9 (1886), p. 262〕 The county of Eu was an appanage created for Geoffrey by his brother Richard II of Normandy in 996 as part of Richard's policy of granting honors and titles for cadet members of his family.〔 The citadel of Eu played a critical part of the defense of Normandy;〔Edmund Chester Waters, The Counts of Eu, Sometime Lords of the Honour of Tickhill, ''The Yorkshire Archaeological and Topographical Journal'', No. 9 (1886), p. 261〕 the castle and walled town were on the river Bresle, just two miles from the English Channel. It had long been an embarkation point for England and in time of war was often one of the first places attacked.〔 The castle of Brionne had been held by the Dukes of Normandy as one of their own homes but Richard II also made a gift of Brionne to his half-brother Geoffrey,〔Orderic in a speech attributed to Roger, Count of Mullent to Robert II, Duke of Normandy, in asking for the castle of Brionne stated that it was Duke Richard the elder (I) who gave Brionne to his son Geoffrey (Godfrey). See Ordericus Vitalis, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Trans. Forester, Vol. II (1854), p. 490.〕 who held it for life passing it to his son Gilbert and was only returned to the demesne of the Duke after his murder.〔''The Gesta Normannorum Ducum of William of Jumieges, Orderic Vitalis, and Robert of Torigni'', Vol. II, Ed. & Trans.
