Emma of Paris, Duchess of Normandy

Emma of Paris (c. 943 – 19 March 968), was a duchess consort of Normandy, married to Richard I, Duke of Normandy.

She was the daughter of Count Hugh the Great of Paris and Hedwige of Saxony and sister of Hugh Capet, king of France.

Emma was betrothed to Richard I in her childhood as a part of an alliance between Normandy and Paris against the French royal house.

The union gave a permanent and useful status to Normandy, especially since the brother of Emma became king in 987.
