Not daring to retrieve it by force, Robert resorted to cunning. He proposed to give Baldwin in marriage to a niece of his wife's, and exacted assurity the possession of the Chateau of Dauai. Since this niece was Adelaine of Savoy, later Queen of France, Baldwin was flattered by the prospect of this alliance and agreed to Robert's terms before he had seen the princess. When she was presented to him, however, he found her so ugly that he refused to marry her, and thus forfeited Douai."
