| | Roslin and the Rose Line |
 | | Although Eustace II was married to Goda, it is reported by historians that Godfrey de Bouillon, and his two brothers in line for the Jerusalem throne, were born from Eustace's second wife, Ida of Bouillon. |
 | | The Patriarch then urged yet another betrayal, the ascension of Baldwin II (Count of Rethel), merely Balwin's cousin/nephew, to the Jerusalem throne...instead of the rightful heir, Eustace III (the latter was brother to Baldwin (I) and supposedly of the Merovingians). |
 | | Baldwin II had partaken in the first Crusade, by the way, and for 18 years prior to his Jerusalem election, he had been the Count (and protector) of Edessa, north of Jerusalem and much closer to Georgia. |
