Yesterday, I found her. She was lost, and now she is found. It began in Holland. Adelaide is Fair Rosamond’s great greatgrandmother. Will Lara Roozemond find a way to complain. Of course! Imperial people are like that. But, the Dutch Royal House of Orange will be very pleased, in me. They may make me The Imperial and Royal Genealogist! Now we know what the A stands for.
I think Lara….My Wing……should call up Janskirk and ask if she can play the church organ.
“Oh! do you know how to play?”
“No, but my teacher does. He is always with me!”

Raoul II of Tosny

Victor at Hastings in 1066
[edit] Victor at Hastings in 1066
He is one of the very few proven Companions of William the Conqueror known to have fought at the Battle of Hastings in 1066.[3] Tradition says he gave up the role of standard bearer, his hereditary office, to Walter Giffard, in order to be able to fight closer to William, duke of Normandy.[4]
[edit] Marriage
He married Isabel de Montfort, daughter of Simon I de Montfort. There was a feud with Guillaume d’Evreux and his wife Helvise de Nevers, recorded by Ordericus Vitalis.[5] This came to open war in 1091–92, when Guillaume attacked Conches. A settlement was reached.[6] They later co-operated in attacking Robert de Beaumont, 1st Earl of Leicester’s county of Meulan.
[edit] In England
He had widely spread holdings, as recorded in the Domesday Survey. His seat was at Flamstead in Hertfordshire.[7] He held Clifford Castle.It is also believed that he held assets in the village of Hose, Leicestershire which was split into two manors, Tosny’s and that of the title holder of the Norman Belvoir Castle.
Life[edit]
He was the elder son of Count Baldwin II of Boulogne and Adelina of Holland.[1] Eustace succeeded his father as count of Boulogne in 1042.[2] Eustace I was also the count of Lens.[3] In 1028 Eustace I confirmed the foundation of a college of canons in his castle at Lens[3] and despite accounts of Lens passing to Baldwin V of Flanders circa 1036 it was still held by Eustace I and was passed to his son Lambert at his death.[4]
During the minority of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders, Eustace’s grandfather, Arnulf III, Count of Boulogne had broken free of Flanders and operated as an independent prince, as did Eustace’s father and Eustace himself.[5] In 995, having attained his majority, Baldwin IV attempted to recover several of the independently held castles and to expand the Flemish borders.[5] This had caused considerable animosity between Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders and Eustace’s father, but when Baldwin IV’s son Baldwin V succeeded him in 1035 Eustace I and Baldwin V of Flanders cooperated on several ventures including several charters and in limiting the powers of the Castellan-advocates of several abbeys including the Abbey of Saint Bertin in Flanders.[6]
Eustace I was allied to the ducal house of Normandy by the marriage of his son Eustace II to Goda, niece of Richard II.[7] This had far reaching alliances to other branches of these families including that of Edward the Confessor, King of England.[7] Under Eustace I the counts of Boulogne rose to great prominence in Northern France.[8] Eustace I died in 1049.[2]
He was apparently a patron of Samer Abbey near Calais and he is said to have been buried there.[9
Family and children[edit]
He was married to Matilda of Leuven,[a] daughter of Lambert I, Count of Leuven and Gerberga of Lower Lorraine and had four children:[2]
-
Godfrey, Bishop of Paris (1061–1095).[2]
-
Gerberga, married Frederick, Duke of Lower Lorraine.[2]
