[edit] Meaning of name

"Curthose" is given as a significant qualifier based upon his shortness of stature, but for the vast majority of English speakers, I can pretty much guarantee that this is cryptic indeed--and a far cry from anything remotely approaching a rationale for this description cum appellation. Perhaps a brief [no pun intended] explanation that "curthose" is anglofrench or whatever for "shortpants" would be worthwhile. Or perhaps even I don't "get it"...

[edit] Robert's Family

Whoever did the original work on this page omitted to include a section on his wife and children, which really needs to be added. Maybe I'll have a chance to do that, but this really isn't my period. --Michael K. Smith 20:23, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
