Arnulf II of Flanders (960 or 961 – March 30, 987) was Count of Flanders from 965 until 
his death.
Life[edit]

He was the son of Baldwin III of Flanders and Mathilde Billung of Saxony, daughter of 
Herman, Duke of Saxony.[1] His father Baldwin III died in 962, when Arnulf was just 
an infant, while Arnulf's grandfather, Arnulf I, was still alive.[1] When Arnulf I died 
three years later (965), the regency was held by his kinsman Baldwin Balso, who died 
in 973.[2]

By the time Arnulf attained his majority in 976, Flanders had lost some of the southern 
territory acquired by Arnulf I.[2] The latter had given some parts of Picardy to King 
Lothar of France to help assure his grandson's succession, and gave Boulogne as a 
fief to another relative.[2] Then early in Arnulf's minority Lothar had taken Ponthieu 
and given it to Hugh Capet, and the first counts of Guînes had established 
themselves.[2] Arnulf died on 30 March, 987 at age 26.[3] Shortly after Arnulf's death 
his widow married Robert II, King of France as his first wife.[3]

Family[edit]

In 968 he married Rozala of Lombardy, daughter of Berengar II of Italy,[4] and had two 
children:
Baldwin IV (980–1035), who succeeded his father.[1] He married twice and fathered 
Baldwin V, Count of Flanders.
Mathilde, who died before 995.[1]
