William Clito (1102–1128), was the Count of Flanders and titular Duke of Normandy.
His epithet "Clito" was a Latin term meaning the same as the Anglo-Saxon "Aetheling".
Both "Clito" and "Atheling" signified a "man of royal blood", or the modern term "prince".
History and family
William was the son of Robert Curthose, Duke of Normandy, and his wife Sybilla of Conversano.
She was the daughter of Geoffrey, Count of Conversano (in southern Italy).
His father, the Duke of Normandy was defeated and captured by his brother Henry I of England at the Battle of Tinchebrai in (1106).
Robert Curthose went with Henry I to Falaise where Henry met his nephew the young William Clito for the first time.
Henry placed his nephew in the custody of Helias of Saint Saens, Count of Arques.
Helias had married a daughter of Duke Robert, his friend and lord.
The boy William stayed under the care of Helias until August 1110.
At that time the king suddenly sent agents to demand the boy be handed over to him.
At the time Helias was away from home.
But his servants hid the boy and smuggled him to their master.
Helias fled to safety among Henry's enemies.
First Norman Rebellion, 1118–19
William’s first refuge was with King Henry’s great enemy, Robert de Bellême, who had extensive lands south of Normandy.
When Robert of Bellême was captured in 1112, William and Helias fled to the court of the young Count Baldwin VII of Flanders who was another of William’s cousins.
In 1118 a number of Norman counts and barons were tired enough of King Henry to ally with Count Baldwin.
They took  up William Clito’s cause and started a dangerous rebellion.
The Norman border counts and Count Baldwin were too powerful for the king to fight.
They seized much of the north part of Normandy.
But the campaign quickly ended when count Baldwin was injured at the siege of Arques (September 1118).
The next year the cause of William Clito was taken up by Louis VI of France.
He invaded Normandy down the river Seine.
On 20 August 1119 the French king was met by the troops of King Henry at the Battle of Brémule.
Louis and his army were defeated.
William Clito was riding as a knight with the French king’s guard that day.
He narrowly escaped capture when the French lost the battle.
The next day his cousin, King Henry’s son, William Adelin, sent him back the horse he had lost in the battle with other "necessities" as a matter of chivalry.
The rebellion collapsed, but the French king continued to support him.
Louis brought his case to the pope’s attention in October 1119 at Reims, and forced Henry I to give reasons for his harsh treatment of the exiled boy.
Second Norman Rebellion, 1123–24
On 25 November 1120 tragedy struck Henry I of England.
His son, William Adelin was among the nobles who drowned when the White ship sunk in the English Channel.
The loss of King Henry’s only legitimate son, changed William Clito’s fortunes.
He was now the obvious male heir to England and Normandy.
A significant party of Norman nobles took up his cause.
Henry's problems became worse.
His his son William Adelin had been promised in marriage to Matilda of Anjou, the daughter of Count Fulk V of Anjou.
Fulk now wanted her dowry, including several castles and towns in Maine, returned.
But Henry flatly refused.
Fulk then promised his daughter Sibylla to William Clito, giving him the county of Maine as her dowry.
King Henry then appealed to canon (Church) law and the marriage was eventually annulled (not legal) in August 1124.
The William and Sibylla were too closely related under Church laws of the time to be married.
In the meantime, a serious rebellion broke out in Normandy in favour of William Clito.
But this was defeated by Henry’s spy network.
There was also very little organization among the leaders.
They were defeated at the battle of Bourgtheroulde in  March 1124.
Henry I also got his son-in-law, the Emperor Henry V, to threaten Louis from the east.
This kept king Louis VI distracted so he could not offer help.
In 1127, Louis VI was able to make great efforts to help William’s cause.
In January he gave him the royal lands in the French Vexin as a base to attack down the Seine into Normandy.
Also he married the French queen’s half sister Joanna of Montferrat.
The murder of Count Charles the Good of Flanders on 2 March 1127 gave King Louis a good chance to further William’s fortunes.
The king marched into Flanders at the head of an army and on 30 March got the barons of the province to accept William as their new count.
William started out very well as count.
By the end of May he had most of the county cooperating with him.
But English money and a new rival, Thierry of Alsace, led to a weakening of his position.
In February 1128 Saint-Omer and Ghent said they would no longer accept him as their count.
Bruges did the same in March.
In May 1128 Lille too welcomed Thierry.
This left William controlling little more than the southern fringe of Flanders.
However, he struck back at Bruges.
In the battle of Axspoele south of the town on 21 June, William with his Norman knights and French allies defeated Thierry.
At this point William was joined by his father-in-law, Duke Godfrey of Brabant.
Together their armies besieged Aalst on 12 July.
But during the course of the siege William was wounded in the arm in a scuffle with a foot soldier.
The wound became gangrenous and William died at the age of twenty-five on 28 July 1128.
His faithful brother-in-law, Helias of Saint Saens, was there with him.
William’s body was carried to the abbey of St Bertin in St Omer and buried there.
He left no children and was survived by his father, a prisoner of Henry I, who died six years later.

Geoffrey V (1113–1151), called the Handsome () and Plantagenet (), was the Count of Anjou, Touraine, and Maine from 1129.
He was the Duke of Normandy from 1144.
By his marriage to the Empress Matilda, daughter and heiress of Henry I of England, Geoffrey had a son, Henry Curtmantle, who succeeded to the English throne.
Geoffrey was the founder of the House of Plantagenet, so named for his nickname.
Geoffrey was the elder son of  Fulk V, King of Jerusalem and his wife Ermengarde of Maine.
She was the daughter of Elias I of Maine.
Geoffrey, born 24 August 1113, was named after his great-grandfather Geoffrey II, Count of Gâtinais.
He received his nickname, Plantagenet, from the yellow sprig of broom blossom (genêt is the French name for the planta genista, or broom shrub) he wore in his hat.
King Henry I of England sent his royal legates to Anjou to arrange a marriage between Geoffrey and his daughter, Matilda.
Consent was given by both parties.
On 10 June 1128 King Henry I knighted the fifteen-year-old Geoffrey.
In 1128 Geoffrey married Empress Matilda, the daughter and heiress of King Henry I of England and widow of Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor.
The marriage was meant to seal a peace between England/Normandy and Anjou.
She was about eleven years older than Geoffrey, and very proud of her status as an Empress (as opposed to being a mere Countess).
Their marriage was a stormy one with frequent long separations, but she bore him three sons and survived him.
The year after the marriage Geoffrey's father left for Jerusalem to marry the heiress of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.
Geoffrey became the sole count of Anjou.
When King Henry I died in 1135, Matilda at once entered Normandy to claim her inheritance.
The border districts submitted to her, but England chose her cousin Stephen of Blois for its king, and Normandy soon followed suit.
The following year, Geoffrey gave Ambrieres, Gorron, and Chatilon-sur-Colmont to Juhel de Mayenne, on condition that he help obtain the inheritance of Geoffrey's wife.
In 1139 Matilda landed in England with 140 knights, where she was besieged at Arundel Castle by King Stephen.
In the "Anarchy" which ensued, Stephen was captured at Lincoln in February, 1141, and imprisoned at Bristol.
A legatine council of the English church held at Winchester in April 1141 declared Stephen deposed and proclaimed Matilda "Lady of the English".
Stephen was subsequently released from prison and had himself recrowned on the anniversary of his first coronation.
During 1142 and 1143, Geoffrey secured all of Normandy west and south of the Seine, and, on 14 January 1144, he crossed the Seine and entered Rouen.
He assumed the title of Duke of Normandy in the summer of 1144.
In 1144, he founded an Augustine priory at Chateau-l'Ermitage in Anjou.
Geoffrey held the duchy until 1149, when he and Matilda conjointly ceded it to their son, Henry, which cession was formally ratified by King Louis VII of France the following year.
Geoffrey also put down three baronial rebellions in Anjou, in 1129, 1135, and 1145–1151.
He was often at odds with his younger brother, Elias, whom he had imprisoned until 1151.
The threat of rebellion slowed his progress in Normandy, and is one reason he could not intervene in England.
In 1153, the Treaty of Wallingford allowed Stephen should remain King of England for life and that Henry, the son of Geoffrey and Matilda should succeed him.
Geoffrey died suddenly on  7 September 1151.
According to John of Marmoutier, Geoffrey was returning from a royal council when he was stricken with fever.
He arrived at Château-du-Loir, collapsed on a couch, made bequests of gifts and charities, and died.
He was buried at St. Julien's Cathedral in Le Mans France.
Henry II of England (1133–1189)
Geoffrey, Count of Nantes (1 June 1134 Rouen- 26 July 1158 Nantes) died unmarried and was buried in Nantes
William X, Count of Poitou (1136–1164) died unmarried
Geoffrey also had illegitimate children by an unknown mistress (or mistresses): Hamelin; Emme, who married Dafydd Ab Owain Gwynedd, Prince of North Wales; and Mary, who became a nun and Abbess of Shaftesbury and who may be the poetess Marie de France.

William Adelin (1103–1120), sometimes Atheling , was the titular Duke of Normandy and heir apparent to the crown of England.
William, born in 1103, was the only son of Henry I of England and his wife Matilda of Scotland.
He was nicknamed Adelin meaning crown prince as he was the heir apparent to the throne.
Henry of Huntingdon said of young William that he was full of pride and was arrogant.
The historian William of Malmesbury quotes him as saying of the English: "if he came to reign over them, he would make them draw the plough like oxen."
Henry arranged a marriage for his young son to Matilda of Anjou.
She was the eldest daughter of Count Fulk V of Anjou in February 1113 near Alençon.
But Fulk agreed to this without the permission of the king of France.
During king Henry I's lifetime William was invested by Henry as Duke of Normandy.
But this was a title he held more in name than practice.
Henry made William the duke when he was pressed by the king of France, Louis VI, to pledge his fealty.
Henry as a king himself thought this was beneath him so in 1115 he offered to have William do this in his place.
The offer was at first refused.
But later Louis after a period of war Louis accepted him.
William did homage to Louis VI in the middle of 1120.
William's mother Queen Matilda served as Henry's regent in England while he was away in Normandy.
After her death in 1118 William was old enough to serve as regent which he did for a year.
It is clear that a group of Henry's advisors were there to help both Matilda and William.
In 1119, William and Matilda of Anjou married.
The ceremony took place in June at the cathedral of Lisieux.
The lordship of Maine was to be Matilda's dowry.
William died in the White Ship tragedy of 25 November 1120.
The White Ship was a newer vessel and her captain was Thomas FitzStephen.
He offered to let Henry I of England use it to return to England from Barfleur in Normandy.
Henry had already arranged his passage but allowed his son William Adelin and many other nobles to use the White Ship.
According to Orderic Vitalis William Adelin and his friends were drinking liberally and allowed the ship's crew to have drink also.
By the time the ship was ready to leave there were about 300 people on board.
Told to overtake the king's ship the captain set sail after dark.
But the ship soon hit a rock in the harbor and quickly sank.
William Adelin got into a small to escape but turned back to help his half-sister, Matilda, Countess of Perche.
When others tried to climb into the boat it was swamped and sank.
William and all of his companions died.
William's wife was on another ship at the time of the disaster, and survived him.
Henry I kept her in England in hopes of marrying her to a nobleman.
He wanted to control the county of Maine through her.
But her father returned from Jerusalem a year later.
He demanded she be returned to Anjou.
But Henry refused.
Eventually Henry sent her home.
She returned to Anjou where she became a nun.
Eventually she became Abbess of Fontevrault.
The sinking of the White ship was tremendous loss for Henry.
His only legitimate son and heir was lost.
Several of Henry's illegitimate children were lost as well.
The remaining 300 who drowned were among the richest and best known of the nobility of the day.
It was the worst maritime disaster of the Middle Ages.
William Adelin's body was never found meaning there could be no funeral and no tomb.
Henry's good fortune took a turn for the worse.
Since William Adelin had died and his wife eventually returned to Anjou, Henry's alliance with her father was now cancelled.
Henry quickly remarried to Adeliza, the daughter of Godfrey, Duke of Brabant.
Although still a teenager she became a popular queen.
Even so they never had any children so Henry's attempt to have a male heir to succeed him died with William Adelin.
1120 deaths
This group should not be confused with the Australian Labor Party (Non-Communist), which was a name used by supporters of New South Wales Premier Jack Lang in the 1930s.
The Australian Labor Party (Anti-Communist) (ALP-AC) was the name used by the right-wing group which split away from the Australian Labor Party in 1955.
It later became the Democratic Labor Party in 1957.
In April 1955, seven Victorian federal MPs and eighteen state Members of Parliament were expelled from the ALP.
They formed the ALP-AC under the influence of B. A. Santamaria.
Only one state MP was elected at the next elections, while five Legislative Council members were not re-elected when their terms expired in 1958.
The seven federal MPs were:
Tom Andrews
Jack Cremean
Bob Joshua
Stan Keon
Jack Mullens
Frank McManus was elected to the Senate for Victoria and former ALP senator George Cole was re-elected to the Senate for Tasmania.
Later Frank Scully gained the seat of Richmond in the Victorian Legislative Assembly in the May 1955 Victorian election.
The members of the ALP (Anti-Communist) were mostly Roman Catholic.
There were only two non-Catholics, its federal leader, Bob Joshua, who represented Ballarat in the Australian House of Representatives, and Jack Little, who led the party in the Victoria Legislative Council between 1955 and 1958.
It has been suggested that the party was mainly people of Irish background, and the ALP split of 1955 was the removal of the Irish-Catholics from the ALP.
However, many ALP (Anti-Communist) members were not  Irish.
The party attracted many voters among migrants from Catholic countries in southern Europe, and among anti-Communist Eastern European refugees.
In 1957, the party became the Democratic Labor Party, which closed in 1978.

The Lavasoa dwarf lemur (Cheirogaleus lavasoensis) is a newly discovered primate.
It is a small nocturnal species of lemur found on Madagascar.
It lives in three small, isolated patches of forest on the southern slopes of the Lavasoa Mountains in southern Madagascar.
Fewer than 50 individuals are thought to exist.
Its habitat lies in a transitional zone between three ecoregions: dry spiny bush, humid littoral forest (near and in water), and humid forest.
It was first collected in 2001, and was thought to be a subpopulation of the furry-eared dwarf lemur (C. crossleyi).
It was not formally described until 2013.
It is one of six species of dwarf lemur.
The research also suggested the existence of other new species.
