Richard II of Normandy

Richard II of Normandy, also known as Richard The Good, and French Richard Le Bonduke of Normandy (c963–1027), was the son of Richard I the Fearless.

Richard II held his own against a peasant insurrection, helped Robert II of France against the duchy of Burgundy, and repelled an English attack on the Cotentin Peninsula that was led by the Anglo-Saxon King Ethelred II the Unready. He also pursued a reform of the Norman monasteries.
