After the death of her husband, Eustace II, her zeal for the church greatly increased. With the advice and aid of her eldest son, Count Eustace II, she built a monastery in Boulogne for the Order of St. Augustine, about 1096.
Later she bought the deserted monastery of Wast in the territory of Boulogne, repaired and decorated the church, richly endowed it, and then had Cluniac monks occupy it. (The Ancestry & Life of Godfrey of Bouillon; by J. Andressohn; 1947)
