The earliest accounts of Fulbert's daughter, Herleva, come from Orderic Vitalis. They were not written down until 80 years after she met Robert the Magnificent. It was only through Wace and Benoit in the 12th century, and later 17th-century writings, that she became known as a daughter of tanner.
In fact, Fulbert was probably a mortician. He is described as, "a person who laid out corpses," and "might have embalmed bodies." As Chamberlain of the ducal court, this was one of Fulbert's duties, and most likely the backdrop of the heckling which resulted in Duke William's bloody retribution.
Jack Day's Work in Progress "Cawley (2006), lists Fulbert de Falaise and Doda (Duwa) UNKNOWN, as the parents of Herlave (living 1049)." "Note that Cawley (2006), terminates Herlave's pedigree with Fulbert, with nothing more known." "Baldwin (2006), does not identify parents for Herleve."
