Medieval Lands by Charles Cawley, Foundation for Medieval Genealogy ARNOUL de Flandre, son of BAUDOUIN II "le Chauve" Count of Flanders &his wife Ælfthryth of Wessex ([885/890]-murdered 27 Mar 964, bur Gent,St Pieter). The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names (in order)"Arnulfum, fratrem eius Adelulfum" as the two sons of"Balduinus"[103]. "Arnulfus" is named as son of Count Baudouin II inthe Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin, which specifies that he succeeded hisfather in 918 as ARNOUL I "le Grand" Count of Flanders[104]."Elstrudis comitissa…cum filiis suis Arnulfo et Adelolfo" donated"hereditatem suam Liefsham…in terra Anglorum in Cantia" toSaint-Pierre de Gand, for the soul of "senioris sui Baldwini", bycharter dated 11 Sep 918[105]. Count Arnoul I was responsible for amajor expansion of Flemish territory to the south. He and his brotherjoined the expedition of Raoul King of the Franks against the Normansin 925 and captured Eu. Count Arnoul inflicted a heavy defeat on theNormans in 926. In 932, he seized the abbey of St Vaast, as well asDouai in Ostrevant. In 933, after his brother's death, he seizedBoulonnais and Ternois and disinherited his nephews. Count Arnoulmade an alliance with Héribert II Comte de Vermandois in 934, whichwas sealed by his marriage to the latter's daughter[106]. Respondingto raids by Guillaume Comte [de Normandie], Count Arnoul invadedPonthieu and in 939 captured Montreuil from Herluin Comte de Ponthieu,although the county was later recaptured by Comte Guillaume's forces."Arnulfus…regis…marchysus" restored property to Saint-Pierre de Gandby charter dated 8 Jul 941, signed by "…Baldwini filii Arnulfimarchysi, Isaac comitis, Arnulfi filii eius, Theoderici comitis,Wenemari advocati…"[107]. After agreeing to meet Count Guillaume in942 in order to settle the dispute over Montreuil, Guillaume wasmurdered, presumably at Count Arnoul's instigation[108]. Count Arnoulwas secure in his possession of Montreuil by 949[109]. "ArnulfusFlandrie comes et marchisus" granted use of property "Snellenghem inpago Flandrensi" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, for "uxore mea…Adalaatque…filio meo Balduino et filia mea Lietgardis" and for deceased"Balduino genitore meo et Elstrudis genetrice mea atque Heeberto filiomeo", and returned "in pago Hainau super fluvio Savo villam…Dulciaca",by charter dated 10 Jul 953[110]. After the death of his son in 962,Count Arnoul was obliged to cede Artois, Ostrevant, Ponthieu andAmiens to Lothaire King of the West Franks in order to ensure thelatter's support for the succession of Count Arnoul's infant grandsonto the county of Flanders[111]. "Arnulfus marchysus" donated propertyto Saint-Pierre de Gand by charter dated 5 May 962, signed by"…Baldwini advocati, Theoderici comitis…"[112]. "Arnulfus…comes"donated "villam Canlin" to Saint-Pierre de Gand by charter dated 17Jun 962, signed by "…Balduini advocati…"[113]. An undated charter,dated to [962], records the last wishes of "marchysi Arnulfi", notingthat "pater meus et mater mea" were buried in the abbey ofSaint-Pierre de Gand[114]. Comte Arnoul was allegedly murdered byHeluin in revenge for the murder of Guillaume I Comte [de Normandie].The Annales Blandinienses record the death "VI Kal Apr 964" of "MagnusArnulfus, restaurator huius Blandiniensis coenobii"[115]. A charterdated 2 Jul 964 records the donation by "bone memorie Arnulfusmarchysus" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, signed by "Odgaudi qui susceptortraditionis fuit…Ingelberti advocati…"[116]. [m firstly ---. Both Rösch[117] and Europäische Stammtafeln[118]state that Count Arnoul had another wife before marrying Adela deVermandois. No evidence has been found concerning this supposed firstmarriage. However, as discussed below, the estimated birth date ofArnoul´s supposed daughter Hildegard, as well as his own advanced agewhen he married Adela de Vermandois, both suggest an earlier marriage.Although logic points to such a first marriage, doubt remains. Thegenealogical traces of this family are well marked in numerouscontemporary sources. It is difficult to imagine that all suchsources would have ignored an earlier marriage of Comte Arnoul, whowas such a prominent figure in his day.] m [secondly] (934) ADELA de Vermandois, daughter of HERIBERT [II]Comte de Vermandois [Carolingian] & his wife Adela [Capet]([915]-[Bruges 10 Oct] 960, bur Gent, St Pieter). The GenealogicaArnulfi Comitis names "Adelam, domni Heriberti comitis filiam" as wifeof "comes Arnulfus", specifying that she was "duorum Francorum regum,Odonis atque Rotberti, neptem"[119]. "Adala coniunx Arnulfi" is namedin the Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin[120]. The Annales ElnonensesMinores record the marriage [undated between 931 and 949] of"Arnulfus" and "Adelam, filiam Heriberti Vermandorum comitis"[121].Her marriage was arranged to seal the alliance made in 934 between herfather and her future husband[122]. "Arnulfus Flandrie comes etmarchisus" granted use of property "Snellenghem in pago Flandrensi" toSaint-Pierre de Gand, for "uxore mea…Adala atque…filio meo Balduino etfilia mea Lietgardis" and for deceased "Balduino genitore meo etElstrudis genetrice mea atque Heeberto filio meo", by charter dated 10Jul 953[123]. "Adhela comitissa" freed two serfs and granted them tothe abbey of Saint-Pierre de Gand, for the soul of "fidelis nostriAmalrici", by charter dated 8 Sep 954, signed by "Balduinicomitis…Odacri advocati"[124]. The Annales Blandinienses record thedeath in 960 of "Adala comitissa"[125]. Count Arnoul I & his [first] wife had one child: 1. [HILDEGARD ([before 933]-10 Apr 990, bur Egmond). TheAnnales Egmundani name "Hildegardis comitissa" as wife of "Theodericuscomes secundus [Hollandensium]" but do not give her origin[126]. Thewife of Count Dirk II was the daughter of Count Arnoul according toRösch, but the author cites no primary source in support of thisassertion[127]. Hildegard's naming her two sons Arnulf and Egbertsuggests that the affiliation may be correct. According toEuropäische Stammtafeln[128], Hildegard was the daughter of CountArnoul by Adela de Vermandois and was born in [934]. This appearsdifficult to sustain chronologically if Hildegard's first son was bornin [950], although it is not impossible. Assuming that her sisterLiutgard was born in 935, there is little time for the birth of anearlier daughter after Count Arnoul's marriage in 934, assuming alsothat the latter date is correct. This suggests that, if Hildegard wasthe daughter of Count Arnoul, she was born from an earlier otherwiseunrecorded marriage. An alternative parentage is suggested by theChronologia Johannes de Beke which records that Count Dirk II married"Hildegardim (ut creditor) filiam Ludovici regis Francie"[129]. Thisis chronologically impossible, assuming that the birth date of ArnoulCount of Holland is correctly estimated as shown in the documentHOLLAND. Hildegard daughter of Louis III King of France would havebeen too old for the marriage and any daughter of Louis IV King ofFrance would have been too young. It is also unlikely that the wifeof Count Dirk II was a daughter of Charles III "le Simple" King ofFrance, the birth dates of whose daughters are estimated to [908/16].There therefore seems no possibility that the Chronologia could evenbe partially correct in assigning this possible Carolingian Frenchorigin to Dirk's wife, although it is curious how this origin came tobe included in the source. "Theodericus comes et uxor suaHildegardis" are named in a charter dated Oct [967/79][130]."Theoderici et Hildegardis" subscribed a charter dated 30 Sep 975,before "Arnulfi filii eorum [Theoderici et Hildegardis]"[131]. TheChronologia Johannes de Beke records the death "III Id Apr" of"Hildegardis…sua conthoralis" and her burial at Egmond monastery[132].The Chronologia Johannes de Beke records the death "III Id Apr" of"Hildegardis…sua conthoralis" and her burial at Egmond monastery[133].Beke's Egmondsch Necrologium records the death "IV Id Apr" of"Hildegardis uxor [Theoderici 2 comitis] filia Ludovici regisFrancie"[134]. Europäische Stammtafeln shows 990 as Hildegarde´s yearof death[135], but the primary source on which this is based has notyet been identified. m ([945/50]) DIRK II Count Holland, son of DIRKI Count of Holland & his wife Geva --- ([930]-Egmond 6 May 988, burEgmond).] Count Arnoul I & his [second] wife had four children: 2. LIUTGARD de Flandre ([935]-962, before 18 Oct). Boer andCordfunke refer to a 938 meeting, between Count Dirk I, CountMeginhard of Hamaland, and Count Arnulf I of Flanders and his wifeAdela, to arrange the betrothals of Hildegard of Flanders and CountDirk II (son of Count Dirk I), and of her sister Liutgard and Wichmannof Hamaland (son of Count Meginhard)[136]. The meeting is alleged tobe recorded in the Verbrüderungsbuch der Abtei Reichenau, but no traceof this has been found in the copy consulted[137]. "Arnulfus Flandriecomes et marchisus" granted use of property "Snellenghem in pagoFlandrensi" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, for "uxore mea…Adala atque…filiomeo Balduino et filia mea Lietgardis" and for deceased "Balduinogenitore meo et Elstrudis genetrice mea atque Heeberto filio meo", bycharter dated 10 Jul 953[138]. This document suggests that Liutgardwas not married at the time. "Wicmannus…comes" donated "mei jurisvillam Thesla" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, for the soul of "coniugis meedefuncte Lietgardis", by charter dated 18 Oct 962, signed by "comitisArnulfi patris supradicte Lietgardis comitisse, Theodericicomitis…"[139]. The Iohannis de Thilrode Chronicon records thedonation dated 962 by "Wicmannus comes…pro remedio anima coniugis meaLietgardis…Arnulphi marchisi Flandrie patris" of "villamThessela…Desselbergine" to "monasterio Sancti Petri in Blandino"[140].The Annales Blandinienses record the deaths in 962 of "Baldwinus,filius Arnulfi marchisi, et soror eius Liutgardis"[141]. m ([after 10Jul 953]) WICHMANN [V] Graaf van Hamaland, son of --- [Billung] & hiswife Gerberga --- ([930]-after 27 Sep 979). 3. BAUDOUIN de Flandres ([935/40]-Abbey of St Bertin 1 Jan962). His parentage is specified in the Cartulaire deSaint-Bertin[142]. "…Baldwini filii Arnulfi marchysi…" signed thecharter dated 8 Jul 941 under which "Arnulfus…regis…marchysus"restored property to Saint-Pierre de Gand[143]. "Arnulfus Flandriecomes et marchisus" granted use of property "Snellenghem in pagoFlandrensi" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, for "uxore mea…Adala atque…filiomeo Balduino et filia mea Lietgardis" and for deceased "Balduinogenitore meo et Elstrudis genetrice mea atque Heeberto filio meo", bycharter dated 10 Jul 953[144]. He ruled with his father from 958[145]as BAUDOUIN III joint Count of Flanders and Artois, his fathergranting him the administration of the south of the county[146]. Acharter dated to 20 Jan [958/61] records the peace settlement agreedby "Baulduin…Marquis" between the abbey of Saint-Pierre de Gand andthe avoués of Douchy, although this document is unlikely to becontemporary in the form shown in the compilation as it is written inold French[147]. The Annales Blandinienses record the deaths in 962of "Baldwinus, filius Arnulfi marchisi, et soror eiusLiutgardis"[148]. The Annales Egmundani record the death in 962 of"Baldwinus filius Arnulfi marchisi Flandrensium"[149]. m ([951/59])as her first husband, MECHTILD of Saxony, daughter of HERMANN BillungDuke in Saxony & his [first/second] wife [Oda ---/Hildesuit ---]([942]-Gent 25 May 1008, bur Gent St Peter). "Mathilda Saxonicigeneric" is named as wife of Count Baudouin in the Cartulaire deSaint-Bertin[150]. The Annalista Saxo names (in order) "Bennonisducis, qui et Bernhardus et Liudigeri comitis et Machtildis comitisse"as brothers and sister of "domna Suanehildis [filia] Herimanni ducisde Liuniburh", recording the names of Mechtild's two husbands[151].The Genealogica Arnulfi Comitis names "Mathildis, filiam principisHerimanni" as wife of "Balduinum [filius comitis Arnulfi]", specifyingthat it was hoped the couple would have many children[152]. Thissuggests that their marriage date may have been some years earlierthan 961 considering that the Genealogia was supposedly compiled in[951/59], probably during the earlier part of this date rangeconsidering which children of Louis IV King of the West Franks arenamed in the document[153]. Mechtild married secondly ([963])Godefroi Comte de Verdun [Wigeriche] (-3/4 Sep after 995, bur Gent StPeter). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Mathildiscomitissa Saxonie" as wife of "Godefridi Ardennensis"[154]. TheAnnales Blandinienses record the death in 1008 of "Mathildiscomitissa"[155]. The necrology of Lüneburg records the death "25 May"of "Mattild com"[156]. Baudouin III & his wife had one child: a) ARNOUL de Flandre ([961/62]-30 Mar 987, bur Gent). TheAnnales Elnonenses Minores record "Arnulfus, filius Balduini exMatilde"[157] succeeding his grandfather in 964 as ARNOUL II “leJeune” Count of Flanders. - see below. Baudouin III had one possible illegitimate son by an unknown mistress: b) [ALBERIC [Albert] ([960/62]-1018). The Gesta EpiscoporumCamerancensium name "Azelinus, de Truncinis villa, BalduiniFlandrensium comitis de concubina filius", specifying that he waslater appointed Bishop of Paris, in the passage recording thesuccession of "Erluinus" as Bishop of Cambrai (in 995)[158]. Bishopof Paris 1016-1018. According to the Dictionnaire de BiographieFrançaise[159], "Albert" was provost at Tronchiennes 951-977 but thisis chronologically impossible assuming that the entry refers to thesame person. If the information about his paternity is correct,Baudouin III is the only count of that name in Flanders who could havebeen Alberic/Albert´s father. Another possibility is that thechronicle was in error and that he was the illegitimate half-brotherof Baudouin IV Count of Flanders, who was count at the time the textwas written but who would have been too young to have been Alberic'sfather.] 4. EGBERT de Flandre (-before 10 Jul 953). "Arnulfus Flandriecomes et marchisus" granted use of property "Snellenghem in pagoFlandrensi" to Saint-Pierre de Gand, for "uxore mea…Adala atque…filiomeo Balduino et filia mea Lietgardis" and for deceased "Balduinogenitore meo et Elstrudis genetrice mea atque Heeberto filio meo", bycharter dated 10 Jul 953[160]. Egbert´s absence from the charterdated 8 Jul 941, under which "Arnulfus…regis…marchysus" restoredproperty to Saint-Pierre de Gand, signed by "…Baldwini filii Arnulfimarchysi…"[161], suggests that he must have been a younger son. 5. ELSTRUDE de Flandre (-966[162] or after). The HistoriaComitum Ghisnensium names "comes Balduinus sororem…Elstrudem" as wifeof "Sifridus"[163]. According to the Chronica Monasterii SanctiBertini, the couple were never married[164]. m ([960/65]) SIEGFRIEDComte de Guines, son of --- (-[965]).
