Baudouin V was the son of Baudouin IV and Adela, daughter of Robert II of France.
He rebelled against his father in 1028. Peace was sworn at Oudenaarde two years later.
Baudouin IV continued to reign until his death in 1036.

Baldwin V was the successor and he won over the admiration of the people who gave him
the surname of 'Debonnaire'.

He entered into hostilities with Emporer Otho II and aquired from that monarch Valenciennes
and the Isles of Zealand. He subsequently increased his territories even more
by another rich accession, that of the citidel of Ghent. Baudouin 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
margraviate of Antwerp.

When Henry I of France died in 1060, his son Philip I was still a minor. Baudouin V
had become so powerful that he was appointed the 'regent' for him.

His children married well. 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"
