  • Peaceful relations

  • Wealth accumulation

  • Discord with his brothers in England

  • Majorly expanding Normandy

Answer

Robert, the Duke of Normandy, was known for his discord with his brothers in England. He was the eldest son of William the Conqueror, and he was raised in England. However, he was not named as the heir to the English throne, and he was instead given the Duchy of Normandy. This caused tension between him and his brothers, who felt that he should have been given the English throne.
