Research Notes:
called a Breton concubine by Flodoard, she was first given a name by William
of Jumieges, who, writing in the second half of the eleventh century, stated
that she was bound to William by the Danish custom. The unusual form of the
name and the lateness of the source (more than 100 years later) make it
uncertain that her name has been corretly reported [Ref: HenryII sprot000
2/8/2004]
a Baston captive [Ref: Moriarty Plantagenet p11]
a lady of Norse descent [Ref: Paget HRHCharles p135, Paget HRHCharles p53]
I know of no contemporary source which provides the parents of Sprota.
Speculation has placed her among the family of the Counts of Senlis, because
Bernard of Senlis is called uncle of Richard I. However, a second source says
the same of William Longsword, suggesting that if true, the link was through
Poppa. (Sprota's status as mistress of William also makes it unlikely that she
came from a family of such status.) [Ref: Todd Farmerie SGM 12/5/1997-175649]
