Baldwin II of Boulogne († c.?1027) was a son of Arnulf III, Count of Boulogne, whom 
he succeeded as count of Boulogne.

Life[edit]

Baldwin II was the son of Arnulf III, Count of Boulogne and succeeded his father as 
count circa 990. Both Arnulf III and his father Arnulf II had freed themselves of 
Flemish rule during the minority of Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders.[1] In 1022 both 
Baldwin and his son Eustace, along with the counts of Normandy, Valois, and 
Flanders, met with Robert II, King of France and formed an alliance against Odo II, 
Count of Blois who was challenging the king's authority.[2] But when Emperor Henry II 
died in July 1024 the alliance quickly fell apart as King Robert reconciled with count 
Odo II.[2] In the wake of these changing alliances and for reasons that remain 
unclear, Baldwin was killed in battle c. 1027 warring with Enguerrand I, Count of 
Ponthieu, who then wed Baldwin's widow.[3]

Family and issue[edit]

He married Adelina of Holland, possibly the daughter of Arnulf, Count of Holland[4] 
and Lutgardis of Luxemburg.[5] and was the father of:
Eustace I of Boulogne, who succeeded him.

After Baldwin's death Adelina married secondly, Enguerrand I, Count of Ponthieu.[4]
