Note	BIOGRAPHY Eustace III was born about 1058, the eldest son of Eustace II, count of Boulogne and Ida of Lorraine. On 23 December 1096 he arrived in Constantinople with a large army under the command of his brother Godfrey of Bouillon; they were accompanied by their youngest brother Baudouin as well as their cousin Baudouin Le Bourg. Descended through both their father and their mother from Charlemagne (and, according to later legend, from a swan), these four were classic examples of Frankish warrior-champions of the Church. Godfrey had held the dukedom of Lower Lorraine under the Emperor Heinrich IV, but the fact that he sold all his estates and his castle at Bouillon to finance his participation in the Crusade suggests that he did not mean to return home. However, whether his objective was an eastern principality or the crown of martyrdom remains unclear. After Eustace III returned from the First Crusade, in 1102 he married Mary of Scotland, a daughter of Malcolm III Canmore, king of Scots and Margaret of Wessex, and they had a daughter Matilda who married Stephen de Blois, king of England, and had progeny. Eustace also had at least two illegitimate sons. He died after 1125.

BIOGRAPHY
Eustace III was born about 1058, the eldest son of Eustace II, count of Boulogne and Ida of Lorraine. On 23 December 1096 he arrived in Constantinople with a large army under the command of his brother Godfrey of Bouillon; they were accompanied by their youngest brother Baudouin as well as their cousin Baudouin Le Bourg.

Descended through both their father and their mother from Charlemagne (and, according to later legend, from a swan), these four were classic examples of Frankish warrior-champions of the Church. Godfrey had held the dukedom of Lower Lorraine under the Emperor Heinrich IV, but the fact that he sold all his estates and his castle at Bouillon to finance his participation in the Crusade suggests that he did not mean to return home. However, whether his objective was an eastern principality or the crown of martyrdom remains unclear.

After Eustace III returned from the First Crusade, in 1102 he married Mary of Scotland, a daughter of Malcolm III Canmore, king of Scots and Margaret of Wessex, and they had a daughter Matilda who married Stephen de Blois, king of England, and had progeny.

Eustace also had at least two illegitimate sons. He died after 1125.
