Description In this year Robert 7, son of King William 1 deserted from his father to his uncle Robert 8 in Flanders, because his father would not let him rule in Normandy, which he himself and also King Philip 1 with his consent had given him; and the chief men in that county had sworn oaths to him and accepted him as liege lord. Robert 7 fought against his father and wounded him in the hand; and his horse was shot under him; and the man who brought him another horse was at once shot from a crossbow; his name was Toki 5, son of Wigod 3 [of Wallingford?]; and many were killed there and captured; and Robert 7 came back to Flanders.
