In the memorable engagement of the Battle of the Saintes, in which Admiral George Rodney defeated the Comte de Grasse, Bougainville, who commanded the Auguste, succeeded in rallying eight ships of his own division, and bringing them safely into Saint Eustace.

That evidence proves that by 1202 Eustace was the seneschal and bailiff of the count of Boulogne, Renaud de Dammartin and that in c. 1204, the two quarrelled and, accused of mishandling his stewardship, Eustace fled and was declared an outlaw.

However, Eustace switched sides in 1212 ( the biography puts it down to Eustace's enemy Renaud de Dammartin allying himself with John and poisoning John's mind against Eustace ) and raided Folkestone when English troops seized his Channel Island bases.

In August 1217, whilst ferrying much-needed reinforcements to Louis, Eustace met an English fleet under Hubert de Burgh sailing out of Dover.

The village was also once famous for a stately and magnificent priory, circa 1160, of the order of knights templar, founded by Lord Eustace Broomfleet de Vesci ( see The Order of the Temple at North Ferriby ), in the reign of King John of England, anno 1200, as appears from an ancient manuscript formerly in the possession of the late Luke Lillingston, Esq.

Eustace fitz John had declared for David and handed over to him Alnwick Castle in Northumberland.

There was formerly a priory here, which was annexed to Alnwick Abbey, by Eustace Fitz John.

When Stephen's son and heir apparent Eustace died in 1153, the king reached an accommodation with Henry of Anjou ( who became Henry II ) to succeed Stephen and in which peace between them was guaranteed.

Baldwin died without heirs in 1118, during a campaign against Egypt, and the kingdom was offered to his brother Eustace III of Boulogne, who had accompanied Baldwin and Godfrey on the crusade.

Eustace was uninterested, and instead the crown passed to Baldwin's relative, probably a cousin, Baldwin of Le Bourg, who had previously succeeded him in Edessa.

Stephen's eldest son was Eustace and the king wanted to confirm him as his successor, although chroniclers recorded that Eustace was infamous for levying heavy taxes and extorting money from those on his lands.

Stephen's preferred option was to have Eustace crowned while he himself was still alive, as was the custom in France, but this was not the normal practice in England, and Celestine II, during his brief tenure as pope between 1143 and 1144, had banned any change to this practice.

Since the only person who could crown Eustace was Archbishop Theobald, who refused to do so without agreement from the current pope, Eugene III, the matter reached an impasse.

In the aftermath of Wallingford, Stephen and Henry spoke together privately about a potential end to the war ; Stephen's son Eustace, however, was furious about the peaceful outcome at Wallingford.

In 1997, he gained attention for the publication on the Internet of Holocaust Revised: Lies of Our Times ( also called the Shallit Report ), a reprint of an article he had written for a Waterloo student publication in 1993, which detailed the backgrounds and past statements of various persons whom he accused of being Holocaust deniers, notably David Irving, Fred A.

Eustace visited England in 1051, and was received with honour at the court of Edward the Confessor.

A brawl in which Eustace and his servants became involved with the citizens of Dover led to a serious quarrel between the king and Godwin.

" With a harsh voice he ( Duke William ) called to Eustace of Boulogne, who with 50 knights was turning in flight and was about to give the signal for retreat.

But at the very moment when he uttered the words Eustace was struck between the shoulders with such force that blood gushed out from his mouth and nose and half dead he only made his escape with the aid of his followers ".

This conforms therefore with Eustace having somewhat lost his nerve and having urged the Duke to retreat whilst the Battle was at its height with the outcome still uncertain.

Other sources suggest that Eustace was present with William at the Malfosse incident in the immediate aftermath of the battle, where a Saxon feigning death leapt up and attacked him, and was presumably cut down before he could reach William.
