Web Notes notes for Baldwin V 'the Pious' 7th Count Of Flanders
From "Debrett's Kings and Queens of Britain" by David Williamson, ISBN 0-86350-101-X, p. 30:
After the death of her 2d husband, King Canute of England & Denmark, Queen Emma's [Emma of Normandy] step-son, Harold I 'Harefoot' ruled England from 1035-1040. He banished her, and she went to Bruges, where she was well received and given shelter by Count Baldwin V of Flanders, her niece's stepson.
Entered into hostilities with Emperor Otho II and acquired from that monarch Valenciennes and the Isles of Zealand. He subsequently further increased his territories by another rich accession, that of the citadel of Ghent.
In the 11th century, Flanders became a vassal of the Holy Roman Empire, as well as of the French crown. During the rule of Count Baldwin V, the territory between the Schelde (Escaut) and Dendre rivers and the margravate of Antwerpen were added to Flanders. Source: "Flanders (historic region),"

Which of BALDWIN IV's wives was his mother is not specified, but since he was born abt.1012 and his father married OGIVE in that same year and did not marry the dau. of RICHARD II until abt.1031, it is a safe assumption that OGIVE was Baldwin V's mother.

"Baldwin V rebelled in 1028 against his father at the instigation of his wife Adela, daughter of Robert II of France; but two years later peace was sworn at Oudenaarde, and the old count continued to reign until his death in 1036. Baldwin V proved a worthy successor, and acquired from the people the surname of Debonnaire. He was an active enterprising man and greatly extended his power by wars and alliances. He obtained from the emperor Henry IV, the territory between the Scheldt and the Dender as an imperial fief, and the margravate of Antwerp. So powerful had he become that the Flemish count on the decease of Henry I of France in 1060 was appointed regent during the minority of Philip I. Before his death, he saw his eldest daughter Mathilda (d. 1083) sharing the English
throne with William the Conqueror, his eldest son Baldwin of Mons in possession of Hainaut in right of his wife Richilde, heiress of Regnier V. (d. 1036) and widow of Hermann of Saxony (d. 1050) and his second son Robert the Frisian regent of the county of Holland during the minority of Kirk V."
