[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. ISBN 0898708435. Kenalynn 23:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

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?
