- From Wikipedia:
Eustace II, (born about 1015-1020 - died about 1087), the son of Eustace I, was count of Boulogne from 1049-1087, fought on the Norman side at the Battle of Hastings, and afterwards received a large honour in England.
Eustace II first married Goda of England, who was the daughter of King Ethelred the Unready and his second wife Emma of Normandy, and sister of King Edward the Confessor. There were no children.
Goda died circa 1047, and he quickly married again (about 1049). From his second marriage with Ida of Lorraine (daughter of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine), Eustace had three sons, Eustace III, the next count of Boulogne, and Godfrey of Bouillon and Baldwin, both later monarchs of Jerusalem.
[needs checkIn 1048 Eustace joined his father-in-law's rebellion against the Emperor Henry III. The next year Eustace was excommunicated by Pope Leo IX for marrying within the prohibited degree of kinship. It's likely the pope's action was at the behest of Henry III. The rebellion failed, and in 1049 Eustace and Godfrey submitted to Henry III. ]
The main concentration his Domesday lands was in and around Essex.[1]
