Ida of Lorraine (also referred to as Blessed Ida of Boulogne)^[1] (c. 1040 – 13 April 1113)^[2] was a saint and noblewoman. She was the daughter of Godfrey III, Duke of Lower Lorraine and his wife Doda.^[3] Ida's grandfather was Gothelo I, Duke of Lorraine and Ida's brother was Godfrey IV, Duke of Lower Lorraine.

 

In 1049, she married Eustace II, Count of Boulogne.^[2] They had three sons:

• Eustace III, the next Count of Boulogne
• Godfrey of Bouillon, first ruler of Kingdom of Jerusalem
• Baldwin, second ruler of Kingdom of Jerusalem

A daughter, Ida of Boulogne, has also been postulated. She was married first to Herman von Malsen and second to Conon, Count of Montaigu.

Ida shunned the use of a wet-nurse in raising her children. Instead, she breast-fed them to ensure that they were not contaminated by the wet-nurse's morals, i.e. her mode of living.^[4] When her sons went on the First Crusade, Ida contributed heavily to their expenses.^[5]

Ida was always religiously and charitably active, but the death of her husband provided her wealth and the freedom to use it for her projects. She founded several monasteries:

• Saint-Wulmer in Boulogne-sur-Mer^[1][6]
• Our Lady of the Chapel, Calais^[1]
• Saint-Bertin^[1]
• Abbey of Cappelle^[7]
• Abbey of Le Wast^[7]

She maintained a correspondence with Anselm of Canterbury. Some of Anselm’s letters to Ida have survived.^[8][9]

She became increasingly involved in church life. However, current scholarship feels that she did not actually become a Benedictine Nun, but that she was a “Secular Oblate of the Benedictine Order”.^[1][6]

Ida died on 13 April 1113, which is the date she is honoured. Traditionally, her burial place has been ascribed to the Monastery of Saint Vaast.^[6] Her remains were moved in 1669 to Paris and again in 1808 to Bayeux.^[1]

Her life story was written by contemporary monk of Saint Vaast Abbey.^[6]

She is venerated in Bayeux.^[1]
