Talk:Eustace II of Boulogne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] DOUBLE-CHECK DEATH DATE?
While working on some Eustace's wife, Ida, I've come across a few resources that state that Eustace II of Boulogne died in 1070, instead of 1093 as stated in article. Could someone double-check the 1911 Brittanica article to see if it got keyed in correctly? Here is one of the references (c. 2002) Married Saints and Blesseds. Ignatius Press, p. 147.

- The earlier date is probably correct. The Foundation for Medieval Genealogy gives a date range([1]) of shortly after 1070 to 1087 for his death, Eustace III being known to have succeeded by the latter year. Britannica 1911 does seem to give a date of 1093, but perhaps more cartulary has emerged since 1911. I'll let you decide how to incorporate the information. Choess 02:28, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Contradictions
This Article says Eustace II died in 1087, but was duke of Boulogne either until 1093 of 1070.Could someone straiten this out?
