Answer

William the Conqueror was a Norman duke who invaded England in 1066, becoming the first Norman king of England. Robert, Count of Mortain, was William's half-brother and a key supporter of his invasion. However, Robert was also a rebellious and ambitious man, and William often felt that he could not trust him. This led to a strained relationship between the two men, and William often referred to Robert derisively.
