  • Notes 
    • Count of Flanders, called "the bearded".
      Baudouin IV was known as 'The Bearded'.
      He was Count of Flanders from 988 until his death in 1035.

      He turned his attention to the east and north where he was given Zeeland
      as a fief by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry II. On the right bank of the
      Scheldt river he received Valenciennes (1013) and parts of the
      Cambresis and Hainaut.

      Ogive of Luxembourg, was his first wife. By her he had a son and heir
      Baldwin V. After her death in 1030 he married Eleanor of Normandy,
      daughter of Richard II of Normandy, and by her he had a daughter Judith.
      Judith married Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumberland.
      These family connections demonstrate the political interests of the Flemish
      counts, both in the Kingdom of France, England and the Holy Roman Empire.
      Baldwin IV "The Bearded" 6th Count of Flanders was also found as Baldwin IV "le Barbu" Count of Flanders, as Baldwin "Fair Beard" Count of Flanders.4 and as Baudouin IV "Barbatus"
