Baldwin IV of Flanders (980 – May 30, 1035) known as ''the Bearded'', was Count of Flanders. ==Biography== Baldwin IV, born c.980, was the son of Arnulf II, Count of Flanders (c. 961 - 987) and Rozala of Lombardy (950/60 – 1003), of the House of Ivrea.〔Detlev Schwennicke, ''Europäische Stammtafeln: Stammtafeln zur Geschichte der Europäischen Staaten'', Neue Folge, Band II (Marburg, Germany: J. A. Stargardt, 1984), Tafel 5〕 He succeeded his father as Count of Flanders in 987,〔 but with his mother Rozala as the regent until his majority. In contrast to his predecessors Baldwin turned his attention eastward, leaving the southern part of his territory in the hands of his vassals the counts of Guînes, Hesdin, and St. Pol.〔Jean Dunbabin. ''France in the Making 843-1180'', Second Edition (Oxford; New York; Oxford University Press, 2004), p. 208〕 To the north of the county Baldwin was given Zeeland as a fief by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry II, while on the right bank of the Scheldt river he received Valenciennes (1013) and parts of the Cambresis as well as Saint-Omer and the northern Ternois (1120).〔Heather J Tanner, ''Families, Friends, and Allies: Boulogne and Politics in Northern France and England c. 879–1160'' (Leiden; Boston: Brill, 2004), pp. 73, 75-6, 77–8〕 In the French territories of the count of Flanders, the supremacy of the Baldwin remained unchallenged. They organized a great deal of colonization of marshland along the coastline of Flanders and enlarged the harbour and city of Brugge. Baldwin IV died on 30 May 1035.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
