Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Normandy
Eleanor of Normandy (1010 - 1071) was a Countess consort of Flanders.

She was the daughter of Richard II, Duke of Normandy. She was born between the 
years 1011 and 1013 in Normandy, the daughter of Richard and his wife, Judith of 
Brittany. She had two sisters and three brothers, including Robert I, Duke of 
Normandy, whose illegitimate son was William the Conqueror a.k.a. King William I of 
England. In 1017, when Eleanor was still a child, her mother Judith died. Duke 
Richard married secondly Poppa of Envermeu, by whom he had two more sons.

In 1031 she married, as his second wife, Baldwin IV, Count of Flanders, who was 
about 30 years her senior. He had a son and heir, Baldwin, by his first marriage to 
Ogive of Luxembourg. Eleanor was styled Countess of Flanders upon her marriage to 
Baldwin, and together they had one daughter:[1]
Judith (1033 – 5 March 1094), married firstly Tostig Godwinson, Earl of Northumbria, by 
whom she allegedly had issue; and secondly Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, by whom she 
had surviving issue.

Eleanor died in Flanders sometime after 1071. Her husband had died in 1035, two 
years after the birth of their only child.

Despite her common nomenclature it is not certain that Eleanor was her proper name.
[2] Eleanor of Aquitaine, who lived a century later (and married as her second 
husband Henry II of England, the great-great-grandson of Eleanor of Normandy's 
brother Robert), is the first individual in recorded history known to bear the name 
Eleanor.
