      Arnulf was preoccupied with fighting off the Northmen. "In his old age he
      placed the government in the hands of Baldwin, his son by Adela, daughter
      of the count of Vermandois, and the young man in a short reign did much for
      the commercial and industrial progress of the country, setting up the first
      weavers and fullers at Ghent, and instituting yearly fairs at Ypres, Bruges
      and other places. On Baldwin III's death in 961 the old count resumed
      control and spent the few remaining years of his life in securing the
      succession of his grandson Arnulf II...." {Encycl.Brit., 1956, 9:356}
