------------------------

William Clito, French GUILLAUME CLITON (b. c 1101 - d. 28 July 1128, Aalst, 
Flanders (now in Belgium)), count of Flanders and titular Duke of Normandy (as William 
IV, or as William III if England's William Rufus' earlier claim to the duchy is not 
acknowledged).

Son of Duke Robert II Curthose (and grandson of William the Conqueror and Matilda 
of Flanders), William Clito was supported by Louis VI of France in claiming the duchy 
when his father was imprisoned (1106) by the English. Henry I of England, however, 
had his own son William the Aetheling recognized as heir to Normandy and, in 1119, 
decisively defeated Louis VI and Clito at Bremule. When the Aetheling was drowned 
(1120), Clito made further trouble in Normandy but died in 1128. [Encylcopaedia
