 General Notes:
From Wikipedia:
Eustace II, (c. 1015-1020 \endash c. 1087) [1][2] 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.
He was the son of Eustace I. His first wife was Goda, daughter of the English king Æthelred the Unready, and sister of Edward the Confessor. Goda died circa 1047[4], 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.
Eustace married Ida of Lorraine, daughter of Godfrey "the Bearded" III, Duke of Lorraine and Doda Oda of Lorraine. (Ida of Lorraine was born about 1040 in Basse, Lower Lorraine, France and died about 1113 in Boulogne, Pas-Nord-de calais, Nord-pas-de-Calais, France.)
Eustace next married Godgifu, daughter of Æthelred "the Unready" King of England and Ælfgifu of York. (Godgifu was born after 1004 in Wessex, England and died about 1056 in Lewes Priory, Sussex, England.)
