 | | After Baldwin died (1118), a third brother, Eustace III, was elected king...but while on his way to Jerusalem to accept the title, the Crusaders made his nephew, Baldwin II, king instead. |
 | | 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). |
