Notes


Ermentrude of Flanders was the daughter of Baldwin II, Margrave of Flanders and his wife Ælfthryth of Wessex, the daughter of English King Alfred the Great. Ermentrude's parents married between 893 and 899. She had 3 siblings, brothers: Arnulf I Count of Flanders, Adalulf Count of Boulogne and a sister: Ealhswid of Flanders. Arnulf is known to be the oldest son, it is not known exactly when Ermentrude was born likely between 894 and 905. Ermentrude's brother Count Arnulf I is identified as the uncle of Hildebrand, Abbot of Saint-Bertin. Hildebrand was not the son of Count Arnulf's brother Adelolf (Count of Boulogne) and was therefore the son of one of his sisters, however, which sister isnot known. Likewise Hildebrand's father is not known. Therefore, Hildebrand MAY be the son of Ermentrude, but this is not certain. No details of Ermentrude's life are known, nor when she died. ----------- Foundation for Medieval Genealogy: "d) ERMENTRUDE de Flandres.
