In "The Swan Badge and the Swan Knight" by the late Sir Anthony R. Wagner in Archaeologia, vol. 97, 1959, pp. 127-138, supplemented by many illustrations and a chart. (An abbreviated version of this discussion later appeared in his Pedigree and Progress.) Wagner tells us that Godfrey of Bouillon became identified fairly soon after his death with the legend of the swan knight in stories propagated by various courtly poets and chroniclers; Godfrey's mother was said to be a daughter of the swan knight in many of these accounts. Then, beginning some 200 years after Godfrey's death many different descendants of this family began using swans in their heraldry, among them the Bohun earls of Hereford and Essex, for example. [Ref: Don Stone SGM 4/10/1996]

Note: Although the Lotharingian name, Godofred, borne by the famous leader of the First Crusade, has been transcribed into English as 'Godfrey', this is etymologically incorrect. The name is, instead, the equivalent of the name which normally appears in cintemporary French or Anglo-Norman documents in such forms as "Goisfrid' and "Gauzfrid', the prototypes of modern "Geoffrey'. ...J. Horace Round (1895, p.256[no citation given]), citing Domesday references to property held by Goisfrid, son of Count Eustace in right of his wife, daughter of Geoffrey de Mandeville, says that 'Dr. Liebermann asks whether Geoffrey's daughter was not thus 'the first wife, else unknown, of the future King of jerusalem'.' The reference is presumably to the linguistically sophisticated Anglo-Saxonist, Felix Liebermann, who would have made the equation. However, in an article published a year later, on Faramus, grandson of "Goisfrid', Round makes no mention of this identification. He had come to recognize that "Goisfrid' was the equivalent of later Geoffrey and had been informed by his friend, M.V.J. Vaillant, of Boulogne 'that the sons of Eustace are known and that Geoffrey is not among them'. What M. Vaillant should have written was that there was no Godfrey among them. However, Round accepted the testimony of his linguistically naive friend against that of Liebermann and therefore invented a non-existent bastard son, Geoffrey, of Eustace of Boulogne. The truth was later recognized by Joseph Armitage Robinson in his study of the Crispins, and by H.W.C. Davis (1913) who drew attention to the fact that ''Godfrey' of Jerusalem married Beatrice, daughter of Geoffrey de mandeville and aunt of the first Earl of Essex.
While the holdings of Geoffrey de mandeville were not nearly as great as those of Eustace of Boulogne, he was a very substantial landholder in 11 counties and his daughter a suitable match "Godfrey' who had already inherited a great deal from his maternal uncle. That De Mandeville would have alienated property in order to give his daughter in marriage to a bastard son of Count Eustace, lacking any substantial prospects, is highly unlikely.
More recently, Johnson and Cronne, good historians but poor linguists, have used Round's article to 'correct' Davis. The true identity of Geoffrey/Godfrey was recognized again by Miss Catherine Morton, who has been in touch with DHK [David H. Kelley] and with Sir Anthony Wagner on this matter. Wagner(1975, p. 253, with an unfortunate misprint) mentions the 'confusion' between 'Godfrey'and 'Geoffrey'. It was there assumed that the confusi9on was ancient and that Eustace's son Godofred, was genuinely a Godfrey. It should be emphasized that actually the confusion is entirely modern due to the use of 'Godfrey' to transcribe a name which is etymologically 'Geoffrey' (the Germans use 'Gottfried' both for the leader of the first crusade and for Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou--onew may regard this either as desirable consisttency or double error).
Wagner cites the views of Stephen Runciman, a historian of the crusades, pointing out that crusader sources make no suggestion of a wife for "Godfrey' and emphasizing his chastity. However, a wife and child left in England would not necessarily have been known to such sources, nor was there anything notable in a Crusader leaving s wife behind, though certainly noteworthy if he brought a wife with him. Runciman's further suggestion that 'Godfrey' might have made some sort og 'morganatic alliance must be rejected. The concept is completely foreign to the period, save, perhaps, among the Welsh and would, in any case, hardly apply to a marriage of 'Godfrey/Geoffrey' with Beatrice de Mandeville, of a family whose status was fully comparable to his own. It is extremely unlikely that 'maritagium', the term used for Goisfrid's marriage, would be applied to a union which was in any way irregular. Runciman is looking back from the days of 'Godfrey's' greatness, rather than realistically appraising the situation at the time of his marriage. [David Humiston Kelley was the author of this line.] [Ref: Weis AR7 #158A]

What happened to the 'inheritance' of Godfrey of Bouillon? Anthony Bridge, in his book "The Crusades" published in 1980, a long time after the other mentioned sources, on page 116 he records what happened:.....a group of Godfrey's own Lorrainers, who hated the papal legate, took control of the city, and sent a messenger to Baldwin of Edessa, Godfrey's brother, inviting him to come at once and TAKE OVER HIS RIGHTFUL INHERITANCE AS NEXT OF KIN. The brother was next of kin, because Godfrey did not have children. If Godfrey de Bouillon, Duke of Lower-Lorraine, had had a legitimate son, surely he would have been either King of Jerusalem or Duke of Lower-Lorraine, and not the holder of a small property in England. How can Dr. Liebermann speculate whether Beatrix de Mandeville is "the first wife, else unknown of the future King of Jerusalem" when there was no second wife---nor was Godfrey/Gottfried King of Jerusalem. [Ref: Leo van de Pas SGM 11/15/1998]

If that is exactly what the message said, and not a historian's assumption (or the testimony of a non-contemporary like William of Tyre) based on the assumption that that's the argument that would have been used, than it's significant, otherwise not so. The issue of succession to the lordship of Jerusalem, as with other crusader property overseas, may have been settled without dealing with the niceties of kin--even close kin--left behind in Western Europe. Runciman 1:315-26 tells of the frantic scramble for control of the lordship after Godfrey's death. Godfrey had actually willed Jerusalem to the patriarch, but the Lorraine party, whose interest were opposed to the Norman and Italian faction (which would assume leadership through the patriarch) sent the bishop of Ramleh and others to fetch Baldwin "for they would only obey one of his [i.e. Godfrey's] kin" (315). So in Runciman's language, this point is slightly different. [Ref: Nat Taylor SGM 11/15/1998-B]

A "Goisfrid", son of Count Eustace [of Boulogne] is mentioned in Domesday Book as an English landholder, married to Beatrice de Mandeville (aunt of the first earl of Essex). Round (whom Schwennicke cites) and later Sir Anthony R. Wagner (in _Pedigree and Progress_, pp. 159 & 253) were convinced that this man was a separate person from the Crusader Godfrey (and was thus necessarily illegitimate, because Count Eustace's [legitimate] sons were known and did not include a "Goisfrid/Geoffrey").
However, The brief by David H. Kelley inserted in Weiss' _Ancestral Roots_, 7th ed., presents compelling arguments to show that the two men may have been the same. He points out that Goisfrid was onomastically equivalent to Godfrey (something Round ignored as the modern derivations, Geoffrey and Godfrey, are distinct but not their medieval equivalents), and that there is no evidence that the known data on the English landholder with a wife and heir in England and the leader of the first crusade cannot apply to one and the same person. This identity has indeed been on the table, as a query, since Round's day: Kelley mentions the work of Felix Liebermann, Joseph Armitage Robinson, and H. W. C. Davis as "pro".
One significant counterargument, raised by Wagner, is that none of the sources for the First Crusade ever allude to a marriage for Godfrey: rather they tout his chastity. This is less compelling when it is understood that contemporary writings of the first crusade don't talk much about the crusaders' home lives, and many of them left families behind. Thereafter much of the surviving historiography of the Crusades (from the twelfth century onward) is tainted with the themes of moral fitness for possession of the Holy Land. Godfrey succeeded in an enterprise which others, later, could not sustain: therefore in retrospect his virtue must have been beyond theirs. Think of Tasso's oberblown moral epic _Gierusalemme liberata_.
While this is not a proven descent (as Mr. Mann's database dump suggests), nor is it a fruitless and closed case as Mr. van de Pas thought. It is an intriguing hypothesis which deserves more complete scrutiny, and in a different forum, than it has yet had. Kelley, at least, suggests that determined digging may turn up more English records which will help tip the scales one way or the other. [Ref: Nat Taylor SGM 11/15/1998-A]
