Baldwin II, Count of Flanders Baldwin II (c. 865 – September 10, 918), nicknamed Calvus (the Bald) was the second count of
Flanders. He was also hereditary abbot of St. Bertin from 892 till his death. He was the son of Baldwin I of Flanders and Judith, a
daughter of Charles the Bald. The early years of Baldwin's rule were marked by a series of devastating Viking raids. Little north of
the Somme was untouched. Baldwin recovered, building new fortresses and improving city walls, and taking over abandoned
property, so that in the end he held far more territory, and held it more strongly, than had his father. He also took advantage of the
conflicts between Charles the Simple and Odo, Count of Paris to take over the Ternois and the Boulonnias. In 884 Baldwin
married Ælfthryth (Ælfthryth, Elftrude, Elfrida), a daughter of King Alfred the Great of England. The marriage was motivated by
the common Flemish-English opposition to the Vikings, and was the start of an alliance that was a mainstay of Flemish policy for
centuries to come. In 900, he tried to curb the power of Archbishop Fulk of Rheims by assassinating him, but he was
excommunicated by Pope Benedict IV. He died at Blandinberg and was succeeded by his eldest son Arnulf I of Flanders. His
younger son Adalulf was (the first) count of Boulogne. Family: He married Ælfthryth, a daughter of Alfred the Great, King of
England. They had the following children:
Arnulf I of Flanders (c. 890-964), married Adela of Vermandois
Adalulf (c. 890-933), Count of Boulogne
Ealswid
Ermentrud
His fifth child however, was illegitimate.
Albert (d. 977)
