Without going into details as to why two names are listed, all current pages represent the work of Stewart Baldwin. The other guy has made a few suggestions here and there, but in terms of actually compiling pages, his total contribution was half-done research on one line that never made it to the stage of a formal write-up before being passed on to Mr. Baldwin. > Although the vast majority of the material appearing in the Henry > Project was written by me, it has not been entirely a one man project. > Most notably, it should be pointed out that Peter Stewart wrote three of > the pages which currently appear on the website (those for Adele of > France, wife of Baldwin V, count of Flanders, and her two parents Robert > II of France and Constance of Arles). Stewart has kindly not pointed out that I have (so far) failed to contribute as promised - years ago I undertook to write a page for Baldwin V's paternal grandmother Rozala alias Susanna of Italy, but this is still unfinished. Perhaps I will be more diligent if bound to a public undertaking: I will get it sent in by the end of June. My few pages are barely a trickle towards the ocean of research that Stewart has generously placed online, and it's not surprising that the second member of the Henry Project's editorial board was unaware of them.
