http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLANDERS,%20HAINAUT.htm BAUDOUIN, so n of [ODACRE [Audacer or Odoscer] & his wife ---] ([830/37]-Arras 879 , bur Abbaye de Saint-Bertin near Saint-Omer [1]). The ''Genealogia Co mitum Flandriæ Bertiniana'', dated to the second decade of the 12th c entury, names "Balduinum Ferreum" as son of "Audacer" [2]. The ''Genea logia Comitum Flandriæ'' names "Balduinum Ferreum" as son of "Audacer " [3]. He is named as son of Audacer in the list of counts of Flander s recorded in the ''Cartulaire de Saint-Bertin'', which records his ye ar of death and place of burial [4]. His birth date range is estimate d on the assumption that he was a young adult at the time of his marri age, which means that he must have been a child when his father died . He eloped with his future wife around Christmas 861. The ''Annales B landinienses'' name "Baldwinum Ferreum filium Audacri" and "Balduvinu s filius Audacri" when recording (respectively) his abduction of his w ife in 862 and his death in 879 [5]. He was granted the “pagus Fland rensis” in 863, and shortly after Ternois, Waas and the lay abbacy o f St Peter of Gent [6], although the primary sources on which this i s based have not yet been identified. He is known to history as BAUDOU IN I “der Gute / Ferreus / der Eisenarme” Count of Flanders, but i t is improbable that he was referred to as such by contemporaries. A n agreement dated 14 Jun 877 of Emperor Charles II "le Chauve", presum ably written with his own death in mind, names "…ex comitibus aut Te dericus, aut Balduinus, sive Chuonradus, seu Adalelmus" as those willi ng to support the emperor's son [7]. The ''Annales Blandinienses'' rec ord the death in 879 of "Balduvinus, filius Audacri", specifying tha t he was buried at "Blandinie" [8]. According to legend, he built th e church of St Donatien ("Sint Donaatskapittel") at Bruges. [1] Saint -Bertin, p. 11. Also included in ''Annales Vedastini'' 879, MGH SS II , p. 197.
