Deeds of the Dukes of Normandy. Roger [aged 50], therefore, relying on a great number of supporters, dared to rebel against the young duke. He openly despised all his neighbours and devastated their lands with robbery and fire, especially those of Humphrey of Vieilles. But Humphrey, unwilling to endure this any longer, sent against him his son Roger of Beaumont [aged 25] with his own household troops. Roger of Tosny recklessly scorned him and, fearing nothing, boldly engaged him in battle; but there, together with his two sons, Helbert and Elinant, he was slain, and left the victory to his enemies. There Robert of Grandmesnil received a mortal wound, from which he died after three weeks, on the fourth day before the Kalends of July1 [28th June 1040]. Before his death, however, he divided his land equally between his two sons, Hugh [aged 8] and Robert, and commended to them his youngest son, Ernauld, that they should treat him well as a brother when he should come of age.
Rogerius itaque fretus auxiliatorum multitudine, contra tenerum ducem ausus est rebellare. Omnes vicinos suos palam despiciebat et terras eorum, maxime Hunfridi de Vetulis, rapinis et incendiis devastabat. At ille diutius hoc ferre nolens, Rogerium de Bellomonte filium suum cum familia sua contra cum misit. Quem Rogerius Toeniensis temere sprevit, ot nil metuens cum eo audacter conflixit; sed ibidem cum duobus filiis suis Helberto et Elinantio peremptus, victoriam hostibus reliquit. Ibi Robertus de Grentemaisnil lethale vulnus accepit, quo post tres hebdomadas, iv Kal. Julii, obiit, Porro, ante mortem suam duobus filiis suis Hugoni et Roberto terram suam æqualiter distribuit, eisque Ernaldum minimum filium suum, ut ipsum, dum ad ætatem veniret, sicut fratrem bene tractarent, commendavit.
