Mauger, Archbishop of Rouen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mauger (or Malger according to the Gesta Normannorum Ducum) was the son of Richard II, duke of Normandy, and Papia, daughter of Richildis of Envermeu. His brother was William of Talou, the count of Arques.
Mauger was the archbishop of Rouen from c.1037 to 1054 (or 1055). His brother William was defeated in a failed rebellion against their nephew, Duke William II, near Arques in 1053, resulting in the banishment of Talou. Perhaps because of his connection to his brother's rebellion, Mauger was deposed from his archbishopric at the council of Lisieux. He was banished to the Isle of Guernsey. According to Wace, Mauger had a son named Michael de Baines and died by drowning.
