Baldwin II, "from his stronghold at Bruges, maintained, like his father, a
vigorous defence of his lands against the incursions of the Northmen. On
his mother's side a descendant of Charlemagne, he strengthened the dynastic
importance of his family by marrying Aelfthryth, daughter of Alfred the
Great. On his death in 918 [sic] his possessions were divided between his
two sons Arnulf the Elder and Adalulf, but the latter survived only a short
time and Arnulf succeeded to the whole inheritance." {-Encyclopaedia
Britannica, 1956 Edition, 9:356}
