    "His name is given only in Robert of Torigny's additions to [Gesta Normannorum Ducum by Guillaume de Jumièges], which states that after the death of William, Sprota was forced to become the concubine of a very rich man called Esperleng, who held mills at Vandreuil [GND (Rob. Tor.) vi, 17(38) (vol. 2, p. 175)].
