  === Life Sketch ===
  Baldwin VI (c.?1030-17 July 1070), also known as Baldwin the Good, was Count of Hainaut from 1051 to 1070 (as Baldwin I) and Count of Flanders from 1067 to 1070.
  
  «b»Life«/b»
  Baldwin was the eldest son of Baldwin V of Flanders and Adela of France, a daughter of king Robert II of France and Constance of Arles. Baldwin VI was also the brother of Matilda of Flanders, Queen consort of England and wife of William the Conqueror, King of England.
  
  His father arranged his marriage, under threat of arms, to Richilde, the widow of Herman of Mons and heiress of Hainaut. As Hainaut was a part of the empire this enraged Henry III who had not been consulted causing him to wage war on the two Baldwins but was not successful. Between 1050 and 1054 Lambert II, Count of Lens fought alongside the Baldwins against Henry III finding that this alliance best protected his interests. Baldwin died on 17 July 1070. His early death left Flanders and Hainaut in the hands of his young son Arnulf III, with Richilde as regent. The young Arnulf III was killed the next year at the Battle of Cassel (1071) and Baldwin's younger son eventually became Baldwin II of Hainaut. The countship was soon usurped by Baldwin's brother Robert the Frisian, who became count Robert I of Flanders.
  
  Baldwin had constructed the church of St. Peter's of Hasnon, placed monks there and designated it as his burial place.
  
  «b»Family«/b»
  Baldwin and Richilde were the parents of:
  
  1.) Arnulf III, Count of Flanders (c. 1055-22 February 1071).
  
  2.) Baldwin II, Count of Hainaut (c. 1056-1098).

  === Baldwin VI of Flanders (c. 1030 – 17 Jul ===
  Baldwin VI of Flanders (c. 1030 – 17 July 1070) was briefly Count of Flanders, from 1067 to 1070. He was also (as Baldwin I) count of Hainaut from 1051 to 1070.
  
  He was the eldest son of Baldwin V of Flanders and Adele, a daughter of king Robert II of France
  
  In 1051 he married Richilde, Countess of Mons and Hainaut, widow of count Herman of Mons. By this marriage Flanders took control of Hainaut (at that moment still a conglomerate of the county of Mons, the margraviate of Valenciennes and the southern part of the landgraviate of Brabant).
  
  Baldwin's early death left Flanders and Hainaut in the hands of his young son Arnulf III, with Richilde as regent. The countship was soon usurped by Baldwin's brother Robert the Frisian, who became count Robert I of Flanders. The young Arnulf III was killed the next year at the Battle of Cassel (22 February 1071) and Baldwin's younger son eventually became Baldwin II of Hainaut.

   Note: The count of Flanders was the ruler or sub-ruler of the county of Flanders, beginning in the 9th century.[1] The title was held for a time by the rulers of the Holy Roman Empire and Spain. During the French Revolution, in 1790, the county of Flanders was annexed to France and ceased to exist. In the 19th century, the title was appropriated by Belgium and granted twice to younger sons of Belgian kings. The most recent holder died in 1983.[2] In 862 Baldwin I was appointed as the first Margrave of Flanders by King Charles II. It was a military appointment, responsible for repelling the Viking raids from the coast of Francia. The title of margrave (or marquis) evolved into that of count. Arnulf I was the first to name himself as count, by the Grace of God. The title of margrave largely fell out of use by the 12th century. Since then, the rulers of Flanders have only been referred to as counts. The counts of Flanders enlarged their estate through a series of diplomatic marriages. The counties of Hainaut, Namur, Béthune, Nevers, Auxerre, Rethel, Burgundy, and Artois were all acquired in this manner. However, the County of Flanders suffered the same fate in turn. As a result of the marriage of Countess Margaret III with Philip II, Duke of Burgundy, the county and the subsidiary counties, entered a personal union with the Duchy of Burgundy in 1405.[3] The counts of Flanders were also associated with the Duchy of Brittany prior to its union with France. In c.1323, Joan, the daughter of Arthur II, Duke of Brittany, married the second son of Count Robert III. Joanna of Flanders, the granddaughter of Count Robert III and daughter of his son, Count Louis I, married John Montfort.[4] During Montfort's imprisonment, she fought on his behalf, alongside English allies, during the Breton War of Succession for the ducal crown, which was won definitively by her son John V, Duke of Brittany. It was through this alliance that the Duchy of Brittany was eventually joined to the throne of France.[5] House of Flanders Baldwin I, Iron Arm (r. 862–879), married Judith (daughter of Charles the Bald) and was granted lands and honours, which would evolve into the County of Flanders. Baldwin II the Bald (r. 879–918), son of Baldwin I and Judith Arnulf I the Great (r. 918–965), son of Baldwin II, jointly with: Baldwin III (r. 958–962), jointly with his father Arnulf I Arnulf II (r. 965–988), son of Baldwin III Baldwin IV the Bearded (r. 988–1035), son of Arnulf II Baldwin V of Lille (r. 1035–1067), son of Baldwin IV Baldwin VI (r. 1067–1070), son of Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut Arnulf III (r. 1070–1071), son of Baldwin VI, Count of Hainaut Robert I the Frisian (r. 1071–1093), son of Baldwin V Robert II (r. 1093–1111), son of Robert I Baldwin VII Hapkin (r. 1111–1119), son of Robert II article continues up to 1910....
