In July 1185, the Treaty of Boves left the disputed territory partitioned, with Amiénois, Artois and numerous other places passing to the King and the remainder, with the county of Vermandois proper, being left provisionally to Philip of Alsace.

In 1180, war broke out between Philip II and his mentor, resulting in the devastation of Picardy and Île-de-France ; King Philip refused to give open battle and gained the upper hand, and Baldwin V, at first allied with his brother-in-law ( Philip of Alsace ), intervened on behalf of his son-in-law in 1184, in support of his daughter's interests.

Baldwin took possession of a much-reduced Flanders, lessened by the large chunk, including Artois, given by Philip of Alsace as dowry to Baldwin's sister Isabelle of Hainaut, and another significant piece to his own wife.

He was a younger son of Baldwin V, Count of Hainaut ( later Baldwin VIII, count of Flanders ), and Margaret I of Flanders, sister of Philip of Alsace, count of Flanders.
