    Baudouin IV continued to reign until his death in 1036.

    Baldwin V was the successor and he won over the admiration of the people who gave him
    the surname of 'Debonnaire'.

    He entered into hostilities with Emporer Otho II and aquired from that monarch Valenciennes
    and the Isles of Zealand. He subsequently increased his territories even more
    by another rich accession, that of the citidel of Ghent. Baudouin extended his power
    by wars and alliances. He obtained from the emperor Henry IV, the territory
    between the Scheldt and the Dender as an imperial fief, and the
    margraviate of Antwerp.

    When Henry I of France died in 1060, his son Philip I was still a minor. Baudouin V
    had become so powerful that he was appointed the 'regent' for him.

    His children married well. He "saw his eldest daughter Mathilda (d. 1083) sharing the English
    throne with William the Conqueror, his eldest son Baldwin of Mons in possession
    of Hainaut in right of his wife Richilde, heiress of Regnier V. (d. 1036) and widow
    of Hermann of Saxony (d. 1050) and his second son Robert the Frisian regent of the county
    of Holland during the minority of Kirk V"
