Boudoin V-VIII of Hainaut Flandre
(Abt 1150 - Abt 17 Dec 1195)
Baudouin was born about 1150, the son of Baudouin IV, count of Hainault and his first wife Adele/Ermensinde de Namur. He was knighted in 1168. Baudouin succeeded his father as count of Hainault in 1171. His father and grandfather had failed to have Flanders returned to his family, but he succeeded, not by war but by marrying Margarethe of Flanders, daughter of Thierry d'Alsace, count of Flanders and his second wife Sibylla d'Anjou. They had six children of whom a son and three daughters would have progeny.
In May 1184 Baudouin was accepted as the next margrave of Namur, and on 23 September 1190 he was elevated to margrave in Schwäbisch Hall. He succeeded as count of Flanders by right of his wife Margarethe on the death of her brother Philippe in 1191. Baudouin died in Mons in 1195 and is buried there in the abbey of Sainte Waudru.
