Re: Eustache II "Aux Grenons" Count of Boulogne

I found a site http://genealogy.patp.us/conq/eustaceb.shm
which states (without source) that Eustache married Goda in 1050

Is there a source other than the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle which mentions this
marriage date ? In the ASC the only thing that I can find simply states, in
passing, 1052 [1051] "Eustache landed at Dover; he was married to King Edward's
sister."

But the "was" here does not necessarily imply that he was married at that
time, only that he was married at some time prior to that.

Also the site mentioned, at the top states that Goda was the widow of
Gauthier, Count of Mantes. However was she not the widow of Dreux, Count of Vexin
and before him the divorced wife of Siward Biornsson, Earl of Northumberland ?

Thanks
