“EUSTACHE II aux Grenons (Gernobadatus), Count of Boulogne, Count of Lens. He married (1st) before 1049 GODA OF ENGLAND, widow of Dreux, Count of Vexin (died 1035), and daughter of Aethelred II, King of England, by Emma, daughter of Richard I, Duke of Normandy. Their issue, if any, is uncertain. In 1047 he and his brother, Count Lambert, and Count Baldwin V of Flanders were in attendance at the court of King Henry III of Germany, where they witnessed Henry's confirmation of a gift to St. Medard. Shortly afterwards both he and Count Baldwin V joined in the rebellion of Godfrey the Bearded, Duke of Lower Lorraine, who sought to reunite the duchies of Upper and Lower Lorraine under his control. In 1049 Pope Leo IX excommunicated Eustache at the Council of Reims for incest, he and his wife being related within the prohibited degrees, specifically in the 6th and 5th degrees of kindred by common descent from King Alfred the Great of England. He was involved in a serious incident with the citizens of Dover in 1051 during one of his English visits. In 1055 he and King Henry III witnessed Duke Godfrey the Bearded's foundation charter of Longliers Priory. His wife, Goda, died before 1056. He married (2nd) in 1057 [SAINT] IDA OF VERDUN, daughter of Godfrey I the Bearded, Count of Verdun, Duke of Upper Lorraine, 1044-47, Duke of Lower Lorraine (1065-1069), by his 1st wife, Doda. They had four sons, Eustache III [Count of Boulogne and Lens], Godfrey of Bouillon [Duke of Lower Lorraine, Defender or Advocate of the Holy Sepulchre], Baldwin (I) [Count of Edessa, King of Jerusalem], and William, and one daughter, Agnes. By an unidentified mistress (or mistresses), he also had two illegitimate sons, Geoffrey and Eustace (I) Garnier. In 1056 he witnessed a charter in favor of Saint-Bertin Abbey issued by Count Baldwin V of Flanders. He was a key participant in the Norman invasion of England in 1066. He witnessed a charter for William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, at Bayeux probably in 1066, and a writ for him in England after the Conquest dated 1067. While King William was in Normandy in 1067, Eustache allied himself with subversive elements in Kent and landed an invasion force at Dover. As a result, Eustache lost his English lands. Sometime before 1075, probably in 1071-74, he and King William were reconciled and renewed their friendship, after which Eustache's English lands were restored to him. At the Domesday survey in 1086 he was holding lands in eleven counties in England, the majority of which were in Essex. His wife, Ida, was holding lands in 1086 in Dorset, Somerset, and Surrey. EUSTACHE II, Count of Boulogne, died in or before 1088, when his son, Eustache, is styled "Eustachius juvenis, Bolniensis comes." In 1102 King Henry I confirmed to the canons of the priory of St. Wuknar in Boulogne the manor of Nutfield, Surrey, "at the prayer of Ida Countess of Boulogne, who held that manor from [King] William I." She died 13 August 1113.
