The Flemish dynasty was founded by Baldwin I (count until 879), who seemsto have come from a family of relatively unimportant counts, and whojumped into the major leagues in 863 by kidnapping and marrying Judith,the daughter of King Charles the Bald, against the royal will. Bysecuring a papal blessing for his marriage (which seems to have been arelatively rare medieval love match), he forced King Charles to accepthim; the king made Baldwin the count of Ghent, and later of the Ternois(near Boulogne) and Flanders.
