Baldwin III The Young of Flanders (c.?940–962) was Count of Flanders, who briefly 
ruled the County of Flanders (an area that is now northwestern Belgium and 
southwestern Netherlands), together with his father Arnulf I (c. 890 – 965).
Biography[edit]

Baldwin III was born c.?940, as the son of Arnulf I, Count of Flanders and his second 
wife, Adele of Vermandois (c. 915 – 969), daughter of Herbert II, Count of 
Vermandois.[1] His father, Arnulf I had made Baldwin co-ruler in 958, but Baldwin died 
before his father and was succeeded by his infant son Arnulf II,[1] with Arnulf I acting 
as regent until his own death. Then Baldwin Balso continued as the regent for the 
child.

During his short rule, Baldwin was responsible for establishing the wool manufacturing 
industry at Ghent and markets at other towns in Flanders.[2] Baldwin III died on 1 
January 962.[1] After Baldwin's death, Arnulf I arranged for King Lothair of France to 
become the guardian of Baldwin's son Arnulf II.[3]

Marriage and issue[edit]

"Shortly before 961" Baldwin married Mathilde of Saxony († 1008), daughter of 
Hermann Billung(† 973), Duke of Saxony.[4] They had a son, Baldwin's heir:
Arnulf II, Count of Flanders (c. 960 – 987), who succeeded as count.[1] He married 
Rozala of Lombardy and had issue, Baldwin IV of Flanders and Matilda.
