  === Life Sketch ===
  Godfrey of Bouillon was the second son of Eustace II, Count of Boulogne, and his wife Ida of Lorraine. He was named Lord of Bouillon in 1076, and in 1087 was allowed to succeed his maternal uncle as Duke of Lower Lorraine.
  
  He was the pre-eminent leader of the First Crusade departing in 1096. Having been a leader of the troops that took Jerusalem in 1099, he was given its rule, taking the title 'prince' and Advocate of the Holy Sepulcre.
  
  He died in July 1100, his successor being his younger brother, Baldwin I, who ruled as King of Jerusalem, which Godfrey was in all but name.

  === NOT the same as Godfrey de Bouillon ===
  It has long been known that a Geoffrey, son of Eustace of Boulogne, presumably by an unknown mistress, was a Domesday tenant in several properties, and married Beatrice de Mandeville. Unfortunately, back in the 1980s, someone let her enthusiasm get the better of her prudence, and decided that since the names Geoffrey and Godfrey both derived from the same original Germanic form, this Geoffrey must have been the same as the famous son of Eustace and his wife Ida, Godfrey, leader of the First Crusade and effectively king of Jerusalem. There was no basis for this identification, and all of the circumstantial evidence militated against it, but the desire to be descended from this famous crusader rather than just a minor landholder lent this unlikely guess unearned favor among genealogists. Though one widely-available genealogical summary of American royal descents followed this seductive theory, the hypothesis has met with universal rejection among scholars familiar with the relevant records.

  === Godefroy de Bouillon (1058 à Boulogne-su ===
  Godefroy de Bouillon (1058 à Boulogne-sur-Mer - 1100 à Jérusalem) est un chevalier et le premier souverain chrétien de Jérusalem, mais qui refusa le titre de roi pour celui, plus humble, d'avoué du Saint-Sépulcre.
  
  Bouillon (en wallon Bouyon) est une ville francophone de Belgique, située en Région wallonne dans la province de Luxembourg.
  
  L'avoué du saint sépulcre originaire de Boulogne-sur-Mer, le duc Godefroy dit de Bouillon est le personnage le plus célèbre de la localité.
  
  Fils de sainte Ide d'Ardenne, héritière des ducs de Basse-Lotharingie et d'Eustache II, comte de Boulogne, du royaume de France, Godefroy de Bouillon est un descendant de Charlemagne et, comme son illustre ancêtre, un personnage de légende.
  
  Godefroy est né fils cadet en 1061 à Boulogne-sur-Mer[1]. Son éducation de chevalier est faite par son oncle Godefroy III le Bossu à Bouillon. À la mort de ce dernier il hérite de ses terres. Toutefois, si l'empereur d'Allemagne lui concède l'office de marquis d'Anvers (1076), il lui interdit, en tant que roi de Germanie, le titre de duc de Basse-Lotharingie comme le souhaitait son oncle dans son testament. Godefroy se range néanmoins fidèlement au côté d'Henri IV dans la Lutte d'Investiture qui oppose l'empereur germanique et le pape Grégoire VII; et entre dans Rome les armes à la main. Pour le récompenser de ses fidèles et loyaux services, l'empereur germanique le reconnaît finalement duc de Basse-Lotharingie en 1087. Il règne donc désormais sur un duché s'étendant entre la France et le Rhin qui couvrait le Brabant, le Hainaut, le Limbourg, le Namurois, le Luxembourg et une partie de la Flandre. Mais ayant été gravement malade peu après cette expédition sur Rome, il fit vœu, pour réparer ses torts, d'aller défendre les Chrétiens en Orient.
  
  La Première Croisade:
  
  L'un des premiers à répondre à l'appel d'Urbain II, en 1095, Godefroy de Bouillon devient aussi l'un des principaux chefs de la première croisade. En 1096, pour financer son départ, il vend le château de Bouillon à Otbert, prince-évêque de Liège et Sténay au prince-évêque de Verdun. Parti de Bouillon le 15 août 1096 avec une suite nombreuse, il passe par Ratisbonne, Vienne, Belgrade et Sofia, arrive à Constantinople, et se heurte aussitôt à Alexis Comnène. Après avoir longuement négocié avec l'empereur de Constantinople sa traversée du Bosphore et s'étant engagé à lui restituer les territoires qu'il reprendrait aux Turcs, il pénétra en Asie. Il s'empara d'abord de Nicée, vainquit ensuite les Turcs à Dorylée puis prit d'assaut Antioche.
  
  Il est au premier rang lors de la prise de Jérusalem en 1099 (les deux premiers sont Letold et Gilbert de Tournai, puis vient Godefroy suivi de son frère Eustache). La couronne de roi de Jérusalem lui est proposée après la prise de la ville, mais il la refuse, arguant qu'il ne pouvait pas porter une couronne d'or où Jésus Christ devait porter une couronne d'épines. Il acceptait le titre d'Avoué du Saint-Sépulcre et se contenta du titre de baron. Ce choix signifiait qu'il considérait la Terre sainte, Jérusalem avant tout, comme la propriété du Christ et donc, par extension, du Saint siège. Il se positionnait ainsi en serviteur, en défenseur de l'Église. Il était nominalement seigneur du Saint-Sépulcre tout en se maintenant sous l'autorité ecclésiastique. Son titre lui conférait les responsabilités suivantes : il devait d'abord avec ses vassaux garder Jérusalem et le tombeau du Christ, puis il devait ensuite distribuer des terres aux chevaliers, conquérir et pacifier les villes aux alentours, rendre la justice et pérenniser l'économie locale. Il donna à ses nouveaux États un code de lois sages, connu sous le nom d' Assises de Jérusalem.
  
  Il mourut le 18 juillet 1100 en revenant d'une expédition contre le sultan de Damas, qu'il avait battu devant Ascalon; on soupçonna qu'il avait été empoisonné après avoir mangé une pomme de cèdre que lui avait offert l'émir de Césarée. Son frère Baudouin, qui avait aussi participé à la croisade, devient roi. Après avoir abandonné Edesse, il se fait couronner le 25 décembre.
  
  On raconte de lui des exploits extraordinaires, et généralement fabuleux ; il joignait au courage la prudence, la modération et la piété la plus vive.
  
  Albert d'Aix écrivait ceci peu après 1100 à propos de Godefroy de Bouillon lors de la prise de Jérusalem en juin 1099 : ± tandis que tout le peuple chrétien [] faisait un affreux ravage des Sarrasins, le duc Godefroy, s'abstenant de tout massacre, [] dépouilla sa cuirasse et, s'enveloppant d'un vêtement de laine, sortit pieds nus hors des murailles et, suivant l'enceinte extérieure de la ville en toute humilité, rentrant ensuite par la porte qui fait face à la montagne des Oliviers, il alla se présenter devant le sépulcre de notre seigneur Jésus-Christ, fils de Dieu vivant, versant des larmes, prononçant des prières, chantant des louanges de Dieu et lui rendant grâces pour avoir été jugé digne de voir ce qu'il avait toujours si ardemment désiré .
  
  1st Ruler of Jerusalem
  Founder of the Knights Templar
  
  === As a Crusader he took a prominent part ===
  As a Crusader he took a prominent part in the Siege of Jerusalem, his division being the first to enter when the city was captured. It was natural, therefore, that when Raymond of Provence refused the proffered dignity, Godfrey should be elected ruler on July 22, 1099, not really as a king, but was called Advocate of the Holy Sepulcher. Because he had been the first real ruler in Jerusalem, he was idolized in later saga. He was depicted as Leader of the Crusades, and legislator who had laid down the assizes of Jerusalem, and was chosen to rule in Jerusalem because he seemed to be a quiet, pious, hard-fighting Knight, and because they could find no dangerous qualities. He was the son of Eustace II, Count of Boulogne, and Ida, daughter of Godfrey IV, Duke of Lorraine. They had 4 sons: Baldwin, King of Jerusalem, Eustace III, a Crusader, Geoffrey and Godfrey of Bouillion and Lorraine, Advocate of Jerusalem. (The saga mentioned above is identical with the libretto of the Opera Lohengrin.) Sources: Royal Genealogies, by James Anderson, b. 1680, d. 1739.

  === NOT the same as Geoffrey Fitz Eustace ===
  It has long been known that a Geoffrey, son of Eustace of Boulogne, presumably by an unknown mistress, was a Domesday tenant in several properties and married Beatrice de Mandeville. Unfortunately, back in the last century, someone let her enthusiasm get the better of her prudence, and decided that since the names Geoffrey and Godfrey both derived from the same original Germanic form, this Geoffrey must have been the same as the famous son of Eustace and his wife Ida, Godfrey, leader of the First Crusade and effectively king of Jerusalem. There was no basis for this identification beyond historical name derivation, and a more recent analysis of contemporary documents shows that even though historically the two names had the same root, they had become distinct by this time, and all of the circumstantial evidence concerning the two men militates against them being the same, yet the desire to be descended from this famous crusader rather than just a minor landholder lent this unlikely guess unearned favor among genealogists. One widely-available genealogical summary of American royal descents followed this seductive theory, but the hypothesis has met with universal rejection among more recent scholars familiar with the relevant records.

  === From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, art ===
  From Encyclopedia Britannica Online, article titled "Godfrey OfBouillon:" "French GODEFROI DE BOUILLON, duke of Lower Lorraine (as Godfrey IV;1089-1100) and a leader of the First Crusade, who became the firstLatin ruler in Palestine after the capture of Jerusalem from theMuslims in July 1099. "Godfrey's parents were Count Eustace II of Boulogne and Ida, daughterof Duke Godfrey II of Lower Lorraine. Although he was named heir tothe duchy of Lower Lorraine by his uncle in 1076, the Holy Romanemperor Henry IV kept the duchy for his son and left Godfrey with thelordship of Bouillon, in the Ardennes region of France. Godfrey wonback his duchy in 1089 as a reward for his loyal service in Henry'swar against the Saxons. "Impelled by religious motives, a craving for adventure, and hisfailure as an administrator, Godfrey, with his brothers Eustace andBaldwin, joined the First Crusade in 1096. When Raymond of Toulouse,lay leader of the crusade, declined to become king of Jerusalem,Godfrey accepted the crown but refused the title of king and wascalled instead Advocatus Sancti Sepulchri (Defender of the HolySepulchre). "Although Godfrey arranged truces with the Muslim maritime cities ofAscalon, Caesarea, and Acre and successfully beat off an Egyptianattack, he alienated many of the crusade's leading figures. Most ofthese returned to Europe or took up residence in other parts ofPalestine, leaving Jerusalem defenseless. Godfrey also acknowledgedhimself as a vassal of Daimbert, patriarch of Jerusalem, thus layingthe foundation for future struggles between lay and ecclesiasticalfigures who sought to control the kingdom. On his death he wassucceeded by his brother Baldwin I. "Despite Godfrey's weakness as a ruler, the tall, handsome, andfair-haired descendant of Charlemagne was later idolized in legend asthe "perfect Christian knight, the peerless hero of the wholecrusading epic."

ES is probably following the reasoning of'Wagner' mentioned above by AR. Godfrey de Bouillon [the legitimateson who was Advocate of the Holy Sepulcher], died in Jersaluem and wasnever married, which is why his brother Baldwin succeeded him inJerusalem. Then Kay Allen, AG, responded to Leo by copying theextensive note printed in Ancestral Roots following the above entry,stating that AR had considered Leo/Wagner's argument and refuted it.Following is the lengthy note in Ancestral Roots, attached to line158a-23, which Kay Allen had nicely transcribed, which I have extended(Kay had not copied the whole note) and edited:
  
  Note [copied from Ancestral Roots]: Although the Lotharingian name,Godofred, borne by the famous leader of the First Crusade, has beentranscribed into English as 'Godfrey', this is etymologicallyincorrect. The name is, instead, the equivalent of the name whichnormally appears in contemporary French or Anglo-Norman documents insuch forms as 'Goisfrid' and 'Gauzfrid', the prototypes of modern'Geoffrey'. ...J. Horace Round (1895, p.256 [no citation given]),citing Domesday references to property held by Goisfrid, son of CountEustace in right of his wife, daughter of Geoffrey de Mandeville, saysthat 'Dr. Liebermann asks whether Geoffrey's daughter was not thus'the first wife, else unknown, of the future King of jerusalem'.' Thereference is presumably to the linguistically sophisticatedAnglo-Saxonist, Felix Liebermann, who would have made the equation.However, in an article published a year later, on Faramus, grandson of'Goisfrid', Round makes no mention of this identification. He had cometo recognize that 'Goisfrid' was the equivalent of later Geoffrey andhad been informed by his friend, M.V.J. Vaillant, of Boulogne 'thatthe sons of Eustace are known and that Geoffrey is not among them'.What M. Vaillant should have written was that there was no Godfreyamong them. However, Round accepted the testimony of hislinguistically naive friend against that of Liebermann and thereforeinvented a non-existent bastard son, Geoffrey, of Eustace of Boulogne.The truth was later recognized by Joseph Armitage Robinson in hisstudy of the Crispins, and by H.W.C. Davis (1913) who drew attentionto the fact that ''Godfrey' of Jerusalem married Beatrice, daughter ofGeoffrey de mandeville and aunt of the first Earl of Essex.
  
  While the holdings of Geoffrey de Mandeville were not nearly as greatas those of Eustace of Boulogne, he was a very substantial landholderin 11 counties and his daughter a suitable match for 'Godfrey' who hadalready inherited a great deal from his maternal uncle. That DeMandeville would have alienated property in order to give his daughterin marriage to a bastard son of Count Eustace, lacking any substantialprospects, is highly unlikely.
  
  More recently, Johnson and Cronne, good historians but poor linguists,have used Round's article to 'correct' Davis. The true identity ofGeoffrey/Godfrey was recognized again by Miss Catherine Morton, whohas been in touch with DHK [David H. Kelley] and with Sir AnthonyWagner on this matter. Wagner (1975, p. 253, with an unfortunatemisprint) mentions the 'confusion' between 'Godfrey'and 'Geoffrey'. Itwas there assumed that the confusion was ancient and that Eustace'sson Godofred, was genuinely a Godfrey. It should be emphasized thatactually the confusion is entirely modern due to the use of 'Godfrey'to transcribe a name which is etymologically 'Geoffrey' (the Germansuse 'Gottfried' both for the leader of the first crusade and forGeoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou--one may regard this either asdesirable consistency or doubled error).
  
  Wagner cites the views of Stephen Runciman, a historian of thecrusades, pointing out that crusader sources make no suggestion of awife for 'Godfrey' and emphasizing his chastity. However, a wife andchild left in England would not necessarily have been known to suchsources, nor was there anything notable in a Crusader leaving a wifebehind, though certainly noteworthy if he brought a wife with him.Runciman's further suggestion that 'Godfrey' might have made some sortof 'morganatic alliance must be rejected. The concept is completelyforeign to the period, save, perhaps, among the Welsh and would, inany case, hardly apply to a marriage of 'Godfrey/Geoffrey' withBeatrice de Mandeville, of a family whose status was fully comparableto his own. It is extremely unlikely that 'maritagium', the term usedfor Goisfrid's marriage, would be applied to a union which was in anyway irregular. Runciman is looking back from the days of 'Godfrey's'greatness, rather than realistically appraising the situation at thetime of his marriage.
  
  The child left by 'Godfrey' in England was William de Boulogne, bearerof one of the oldest English surnames, for William was neither Countof Boulogne nor from Boulogne. He should appear with some frequency inthe English records, for his son, Faramus, held extensive estates inwidely separated parts of England (Somerset, Surrey, Essex, Oxford,Buckinghamshire, Suffolk, probably Kent and Northumberland). Williamappears as a witness to a document of 1106 and in a couple of laterdocuments. Perhaps he is a still-unrecognized William Fitz-Geoffrey ofother documents.'

  === Went on the Crusades along with his brot ===
  Went on the Crusades along with his brother Baldwin of Boulogne. He was the most famous of the crusaders in the first crusade. He was the duke of Lower Lorraine, which he inherited from his Uncle. When the granting of Lorraine was held up by King Henry of Germany, which was contested by his Aunt Matilda of Tuscany. She was not willing to give up the land to him from her husband's estate, which put them into a 10 year war. He thought he would settle in the East after the crusade. He attacked Haifa and captured Acre, the port by Haifa. He faught at the battle of Antioch in June of 1098. In Jun 1099 Godfry was elected King of Jerusalam. Raymond wanted the position but he was old at the time and had been sick throughout the crusade, which no doubt put it into the hands of Godfrey. He was able to get rid of Dinberg, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, which put him in charge of the church. He moved North in 1106 to go after the Egyptians settlements along the coast. Godfry granted land to a relative, Garnier Count of Grez in Babrant, a relative by Birth. He granted Tiberius to Tancred, the nephew of Bohemond of Taronto. Although he was probably a homosexual and in spite of three marriages, one bigamous and all apparently entered into for material gain he had no children.
