Occupation:
Baldwin 2, nicknamed Calvus (the Bald) was the second Count of Flanders and ruled from 879 to 918.
He was the son of Baldwin 1 of Flanders and Judith, a daughter of Charles the Bald and as such a descendant of Charlemagne.

In 884 Baldwin married Ælfthryth (Ælfthryth, Elftrude, Elfrida), a daughter of King Alfred the Great of England. The immediate goal of this Anglo-Flemish alliance was to help Baldwin control the lower Canche River valley.

The early years of Baldwin's rule (879-885) were marked by a series of devastating Viking raids into Flanders where little north of the Somme was left untouched.

By 883 he was forced northward to the flat marshes of the pagus flandransis which became the territory most closely associated with the counts of Flanders from that time on.
Baldwin constructed a series of wooden fortifications at Saint-Omer, Bruges, Ghent, and Kortrijk and seized those lands abandoned by royal and ecclesiastical officials. Many of these same citadels later formed castellanies housing government, militia and local courts.

In 888 the west Frankish king Charles the Fat was deposed and there were several candidates for his replacement.
As he was a grandson of Charles the Bald, Holy Roman Emperor and King of West Francia, Baldwin could have, but did not, compete for the crown of western Francia.
Instead Baldwin joined others in trying to convince the East Frankish king Arnulf to also take the west Frankish crown, but Arnulf declined. The Robertine Odo, Count of Paris, was elected king but Odo would not support Baldwin's attempts at gaining control of the abbey of St. Bertin the two fell out and while Odo attacked Baldwin at Bruges he could not prevail.

Baldwin continued his expansion to the south and gained control of Artois including the important abbey of St. Vaast. When the abbey came under the jurisdiction of Archbishop Fulk of Reims in 900 Baldwin had him assassinated. When his attempts to expand further into the upper Somme River valley were opposed by Herbert 1, Count of Vermandois Baldwin likewise had him assassinated.

He died 10 September 918 at Blandijnberg (near Ghent) and was succeeded by his eldest son Arnulf 1 of Flanders.

His younger son Adalulf was (the first) count of Boulogne.

Occupation:
Arnulv den gamle, med tilnavnet den store også, var greve av Flandern 918-958 og 962-965. Hans lange regjeringstid var avbrutt i tre år da sønnen, Balduin 3 regjerte.

Grevskapet Flandern utvidet Arnulf 1 på 900-tallet til sør for elven Somme.

Arnulf of Flanders, called the Great, was the third Count of Flanders, who ruled the County of Flanders, an area that is now northwestern Belgium and southwestern Netherlands.

Arnulf was the son of count Baldwin 2 of Flanders and Ælfthryth of Wessex, daughter of Alfred the Great. Through his mother he was a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon kings of England, and through his father, a descendant of Charlemagne. Presumably Arnulf was named after Saint Arnulf of Metz, a progenitor of the Carolingian dynasty.

At the death of their father in 918, Arnulf became Count of Flanders while his brother Adeloft or Adelolf succeeded to the County of Boulogne. However, in 933 Adeloft died, and Arnulf took the countship of Boulogne for himself, but later conveyed it to his nephew, Arnulf 2.

Arnulf 1 greatly expanded Flemish rule to the south, taking all or part of Artois, Ponthieu, Amiens, and Ostrevent. He exploited the conflicts between Charles the Simple and Robert I of France, and later those between Louis 4 and his barons.

In his southern expansion Arnulf inevitably had conflict with the Normans, who were trying to secure their northern frontier. This led to the 942 murder of the Duke of Normandy, William Longsword, at the hands of Arnulf's men. The Viking threat was receding during the later years of Arnulf's life, and he turned his attentions to the reform of the Flemish government.

Arnulf made his eldest son and heir Baldwin 3 of Flanders co-ruler in 958, but Baldwin died untimely in 962, so Arnulf was succeeded by Baldwin's infant son, Arnulf 2 of Flanders.

Arnulv married Adele (Alice) av Vermandois about 0933 in Flandern, Belgia. Adele (daughter of Herbert av Vermandois, "Herbert 2" and Luitgard (Liegard) av Paris) was born about 0915 in Vermandois, Normandie, Frankrike; died on 10 Oct 0960 in Gent, Øst-Flandern, Flandern, Belgia.

Baldwin 3 The Young of Flanders was Count of Flanders, who briefly ruled the County of Flanders (an area that is now northwestern Belgium and southwestern Netherlands), together with his father Arnulf 1 (c.890–965).

Baldwin 3 was born c.940, as the son of Arnulf 1, Count of Flanders and his second wife, Adele of Vermandois (c.915–969), daughter of Herbert 2, Count of Vermandois.

His father, Arnulf 1 had made Baldwin co-ruler in 958, but Baldwin died before his father and was succeeded by his infant son Arnulf 2, with Arnulf 1 acting as regent until his own death. Then Baldwin Balso continued as the regent for the child.

During his short rule, Baldwin was responsible for establishing the wool manufacturing industry at Ghent and markets at other towns in Flanders.

Baldwin 3 died on 1 January 962. After Baldwin's death, Arnulf 1 arranged for King Lothair of France to become the guardian of Baldwin's son Arnulf 2.
