William, Count of Mortain
- William, Count of Mortain
William de Mortaigne, Count of Mortain (d. aft. 1140) was the son of Robert, Count of Mortain, the half-brother of William I of England.
From childhood, he harbored a dislike for his cousin Henry I of England, and proudly demanded from him not only his father's earldoms of Mortain and Cornwall, but his uncle's Earldom of Kent. In 1103, he crossed from England into Normandy[cite book | title=The Conqueror and His Companions | first=J.R | last=Planché | location=London | publisher=Tinsley Brothers | year=1874 | url=http://genealogy.patp.us/conq/mortain.shtml | accessdate=2006-11-04] and openly revolted against Henry in 1104, losing his English fiefs in consequence.
