It said that the title Count of Flanders now is given to younger sons of the Belgain King, then why Albert II and Prince Laurent was not Count of Flanders? I think it should be correct. Astorknlam 17:00 (UTC) 7 August 2006.

How is Charles I of the House of Yngling? Being the son of Canute IV of Denmark, he is a male-line descendant of the Swedish House of Munsö (descended from the previous Danish royal house), not the Swedish House of Yngling, or, in fact, the later Norwegian House of Yngling.

The Spanish monarch also claims the title Count of Flanders (as well as the titles Duke of Brabant and count of Hainaut). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ivo von Rosenqvist (talk • contribs) 20:25, 11 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I removed this name for the first dynasty of Flemish counts, this name is not used in añy sources or literature that I'm aware of. The supposed descent of Baldwin's father from a merger of a Carolingian branch and a 'Celtic' House of Morini is fictional. It wasn't before the 12th century that any ancestor for Baldwin's father was recorded, although him being from a House of Morini isn't in any sources from that time either.

Are we really to believe that the "Counts of Flanders", ruled for one thousand yearsSome reliable, and not second hand or third hand information must forwith be both questioned and dismissed, at least in my position, which is one of no importance to those of you in power!

Basically the answer is, not quite but almost. Flanders was a state with a ruling or reigning Count from 860 until 1793 (with some interruptions).... Gerard von Hebel (talk) 21:26, 6 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've added some references for the history section at the top, but left the 'refimprove' tag because it really needs more. Leschnei (talk) 14:28, 7 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
