Detail of his life
Baudouin IV was still a minor when his father died. His grandmother Mathilde de Saxe ensures the regency 4 . The lord of Ghent , Gilbod, took the opportunity to proclaim himself an independent count. The revolt will be put down once the Count of Flanders comes of age.

Baudouin was particularly concerned with the east and north of his county, leaving the southern part in the hands of his vassals, the counts of Guines , Hesdin , and Saint-Pol .

Around the year 1000 , the Emperor Otto had created a military march in Antwerp to counter the Flemish military expeditions headed east. The sovereign Germanic Henry II between struggling to 1006 / 1007 against Baldwin IV , who sided with the counts of Louvain and Namur , which refused the suzerainty imposed by Henri II , the Duke of Lower Lorraine Godfrey I st Ardennes . Baudouin seizes Valenciennes, and remains there despite a siege supported by Henry II and his allies, the King of France Robert II and the Duke of Normandy Richard II . The coming of winter forces them to lift the siege.

Changing his objective, Henry II seized Ghent the following spring and seized an important booty, both material and human. Baudouin is obliged to return Valenciennes and submit to Aix-la-Chapelle , which Henry II accepts all the more easily as the power of the Count of Flanders is a serious counterweight to the counts of Namur and Louvain . Around 1012 - 1015 , the Germanic sovereign even gave him Valenciennes and several islands of Zeeland ( Walcheren , Borssele , Noord-Beveland andZuid-Beveland , Wolphaartsdijk ).

After having married Adele of France , daughter of King Robert II , to his son the future Baudouin V , he had to endure a revolt from the latter, who put himself at the head of discontented barons. Baudouin IV was even driven from his county and had to take refuge in Normandy. With the powerful support of his protector, Duke Robert , he nevertheless very quickly recovered his possessions and by putting down the rebellion and submitting his son to Oudenaarde ,September 12, 1028.

Under his government, Dunkirk was founded. Bruges receives the first communal freedoms of Flanders and walls begin to surround the city of Lille . Baldwin IV had to face the danger of feudal crumbling, which had hit the entire Carolingian empire at a moreloose level in the previous century. He asserted his authority in his states in two ways:
very firmly on its base region, that is to say the countries of Ghent, Bruges, Lille and St-Omer ;
in a more discreet way on the rest of the territory. We thus note the emergence of several noble families (Aubigny, Béthune, Faucquembergue, Houdain, Lens, Lillers, Pas, Phalempin, Wavrin).

He also imposed the Truce of God in the dioceses of Arras and Tournai . Baudouin IV is the true founder of Flemish power within its historical limits.

Marriage and children
Around 1012, he first married Ogive de Luxembourg (c. 990 † 1030), daughter of Frédéric de Luxembourg , count in Moselgau, and had two children:

Baudouin V (1012 † 1067), count of Flanders
Ermengarde, married to Adalbert († 1032), count of Ghent
Widowed, he remarries in April 1031with Éléonore de Normandie (v. 1010 † v. 1071), daughter of Richard II , Duke of Normandy , and Judith of Brittany. They have :

Judith of Flanders (between 1031 and 1035 † 1094), married in 1058 to Tostig Godwinson († 1066), count of Northumbria , then around 1071 Welf IV († 1101), duke of Bavaria .
