Boulogne

Baldwin II took over Boulogne at some point (in the 890s?). Did he take the title count? Was she the countess of Boulogne? Srnec (talk) 18:45, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

It says in this article that Elfthryth was Alfred's youngest child. This is not so as we know from Asser's biography of the king where he states that Alfred's final child was his son Ethelweard. Paragraph 75 of his bio relates. Perhaps someone with the know-how could amend the page?

I've replaced "child" with "daughter". – Swa cwæð Ælfgar (talk) 06:01, 19 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
