Biography

After the death of his father, Maine was captured by Count Anjou Geoffrey II Martel , who actually became the ruler of the county. Geoffrey was persecuted by Herbert's mother, Berto de Blois, as well as Bishop Le Mans Gervais (Hervasius) , who were forced to take refuge at the Norman court . Herbert and his sister Margarita fled to Normandy, where he found refuge at the court of the Duke William .

Since Geoffrey of Anjou captured the castles of Domfron and Alanson , owned by the vassals of William Bellem , the Norman army, under the leadership of the duke, invaded Maine. The war continued until the death of Geoffrey in 1060 .

Herbert's sister, Margarita, was engaged to Wilhelm's eldest son, Robert Kurtgez , and Herbert himself became engaged to one of Wilhelm’s daughters. Herbert died on March 9, 1062, recognizing Duke William as his heir, which gave him reason to conquer Maine.
