Count Baldwin's name appears in lists of abbots of St. Bertin [Monumenta Germaniae Historica, Scriptores series, 13, 391, 607], and he would appear to have held that office for a short period before his death. [Ref: Henry Project] Possible illegitimate son (status uncertain): Ascelin (Azelin) or Albert de Tronchiennes, bishop of Paris, 1016-1018. The History of the Bishops of Cambrai states that Ascelin (or Albert, as he is called in some sources) was an illegitimate son of count Baldwin of Flanders. [Gesta Episcoporum Cameracensium, MGH SS 7, 448]. If this is accurate, Baldwin III would be the only count of Flanders named Baldwin who would make a chronologically feasible father for Ascelin. [LEon Vanderkindere, La Formation Territoriale des Principautes Belge au Moyen Age (2 vols., 2nd ed., Brussels, 1902, reprinted 1981) 1, 293], lists Ascelin as a son of Baldwin, without citing a source, but neither Erich Brandenburg, Die Nachkommen Karls des Gro Married ± 951 (approximately 10 years married) to: ![]() Born 937 at Saxony, Germany, died May 25, 1008, 70 or 71 years, 1st marriage to: Baudouin III Count of "@N9083@" Flanders, 2nd marriage to: Godfrey de "@N9171@" Verdun , Marquis Antwerp Children: 2. ![]() Born Dec 961 at Flanders, France, died Mar 30, 987 at Chapel de St Laurent, France, 25 years |
