Nigel, vicomte of the Cotentin, led by Guy of Burgundy, had rebelled against Duke William, along with many others of Lower Normandy, but the rebels were defeated at the battle of Val-és Dunes in 1047 and their fortresses had been destroyed. This was a battle for the leadership of Normandy. Nigel was forced into exile with his family in Bretagne, but was restored to nearly all his possessions by 1054.
