He received Cornwall and West Devon, when that region had been reduced into possession, in the spring of 1068. Early in 1060, he witnessed a charter in favour of Exeter Cathedral, and, in June, put to flight the fona of Harold near the river Taw. He was probably deposed after Guador's rebellion in 1075.

W. Watson remarks: * The parentage of the tliird wife of Kichard, Earl of Cornwall has been variously stated. According to Butkens, she was dau.of Lothaire, Count of Hostade and Daelhem ; it is this hypothesis alone which would make her niece of Conrad, Archbishop of Cologne. Gebauer, iu his Life of Richard (1744), endeavours to prove that she was dau. of Philip von Falckenstein, Arch-chamberlain of the Empire. But it appears certain that she was really dau. of Thierry de Fauque- mout (Valkenberg, near Maastricht), by his wife Jane, da. of Amoul, Count of Loos : and oonaequently niece, not of Conrad, but of his suooessor, Engilbert de Fanquemont,' " I »>
