Frank, The Richard I "the Lion-Hearted" of England was married to Berengaria of Navarre. Everything I've read states that it is doubtful that this marriage was ever consummated. They believe that Richard was homosexual. Richard was the third son and fourth child of Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine. You might have this, but here is a brief lineage from the Dukes of Normandy to Richard I of England:
Ganger Rolf (Rollo) "the Viking", Duke of Normandy
William I, "Longsword", Duke of Normandy
Richard I, Duke of Normandy
Richard II, Duke of Normandy
Robert I, Duke of Normandy
William II of Normandy and I of England
Henry I of England
Matilda
