From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arnulf was the son of margrave Baldwin II of Flanders and Ælfthryth of Wessex, daughter of Alfred the Great.[2] Through his mother he was a descendant of the Anglo-Saxon kings of England, and through his father, a descendant of Charlemagne.[3] Presumably Arnulf was named after Saint Arnulf of Metz, a progenitor of the Carolingian dynasty.[4]
