Arnulf was preoccupied with fighting off the Northmen. "In his old age he
placed the government in the hands of Baldwin, his son by Adela, daughter
of the count of Vermandois, and the young man in a short reign did much for
the commercial and industrial progress of the country, setting up the first
weavers and fullers at Ghent, and instituting yearly fairs at Ypres, Bruges
and other places. On Baldwin III's death in 961 the old count resumed
control and spent the few remaining years of his life in securing the
succession of his grandson Arnulf II...." {Encycl.Brit., 1956, 9:356}

"Smyth (Alfred the Great) says she married Conrad of Burgandy. There is
confusion in that she married "a Prince near the Alps"; but Boleslaw seems
the most likely." - Brian Thompsett ( 1999) at his Web site:

The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle calls him "the deed-doer"; Florence of Worcester

entrusted in 943 to the famous Dunstan" {-Encycl.Brit., 1956 Ed., 7:962}. He
reigned 940-946. He regained northern England and Strathclyde from the

[Parents are presumed - cf. W.H.Turton, "The Plantagenet Ancestry" (Balt.: Gen.Pub.Co., 1968), p. 112. "Ancestral Roots..." (Balt., 1992) 250-17 reports she is Eldegarde, (dau. or niece of Ermenfroi, Count of Amiens ?, prob. a Carolingian princess),
who m. (2) Waleran, a count...." However, it is highly unlikely that this Hildegarde of Flanders could have been the daughter of Arnulf I "The Elder", Count of Flanders -- if Raoul died in 936 and Arnulf married Alix De Vermandois in February 934.
Supposedly Hildegarde is a daughter from this marriage, but it appears unlikely even if the years are not exactly correct that a daughter of this marriage married Raoul De Gouy.]

Coronation delayed (because Archbishop Dunstan disapproved his lifestyle) until 973 (at Bath);
with Dunstan he reformed monastic houses on Rule of St.Benedict; m. (1) Aethelflaed ("the
white duck"), dau. of Earl Ormaer, & had Edward the Martyr; m. (2) Aelfthryth, dau. of Earl
Ordgar, & had Aethelred II; also had daughter, Eadgyth (St.), Abbess of Barking, b. ca. 962,
by Wulthryth, "an inmate of the convent at Wilton", who declined marriage. Edgar's reign "is
often regarded as the highest point of effective power reached by the Old English monarchy...a
time of peace for the greater part of England." He is fame is due "to his lavish patronage of
the church, and to the encouragement which he gave to the great men, Dunstan, Ethelwold, and
Oswald, who in his reign were reviving monastic life in England." {-Encycl.Brit.,'56,8:484.}
Edgar reigned from October, 959 to 975. Edgar's reign is the setting of "The King's
Henchman," a play by Edna St.Vincent Millay (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1927).
