Notes
Although traditionally presented to be a common tradesman (a Tanner), Fuhlburt appears to have been a minor son of Guy I de Tonnerre and employed as the Duke's Chamberlain at the castle of Falaise. Thus the story Duke William's bastardy by the daughter of a common "Tanner" was in actuality not as common as represented in modern romantic literature. Although his mother is yet unidentified, the name Fulbert is Frankish in origin and he likely had a Sahlien mother. His sister's mother is identified as Adele de Sahlien.
The shame of William the Conquerer's low birth would have had more to do with the fact that his parent's "Common Law Marriage" was unrecognized by the church and he himself was labeled a bastard by the Pope, rather than the shame of his mother's "low birth". The Scottish clan histories of MacEth and MacBeth indicate Fulbert Tanner's widow (Doda) returned to Scotland from Normandy following his death and that Doada subsequently married the Mormaer of Moray. This would indicate that that Tonnerre's daughter Arlette (a noble name) was likely the half sister of Macbeth.
The Nickname Tanner
Like Henry the Fowler, it is possible that Fuhlbert may have been the butt of a long running joke involving a play on word with this surname "Tonnerre" being rendered "Tanner" by the tongue of the Norman nobles.
