Stewart Baldwin states, however, that "Adalolf is falsely called a uter i n e b r o ther of Arnulf."

===Marriage===
The name of his wife, or whether he had a wife, is not known.
[[Flandre-56|Adaloif de Flandre]] was previously linked to two profiles o f w i v e s , which are most likely duplicates: [[Crequy-3|Mahaut (Crequy) d e B o u l o gne]] and [[De Crequy-13|Mahaut De Crequy]], born 875. These pr of i l e s h ave been delinked from Adaloif.
===918 Succession of Father===
He succeeded his father in 918 as Comte de Boulogne-sur-Mer, de Th�roua n n e , a n d lay-Abbot of St Bertin.
He succeeded his father as count of Boulogne and Ternois and lay-abbot o f S a i n t -Bertin in 918.
"Adalolphus" is named son of Count Baudouin II in the Cartulaire de Sai n t - B e rtin, which specifies that he succeeded his father in 918 as Comte d e B o u l o gne-sur-Mer, de Th�rouanne, and lay-Abbot of St Bertin[80].
===933 Death===
He died 13 November 933.
Dying on 13 November 933, he was buried in the church at Saint-Bertin a n d w a s s u cceeded by his brother Arnulf
He died 13 Nov 933 and was buried Gent St Pieter).
The Annales Blandinienses record the death in 933 of "Adalulfus comes", s p e c i f ying that he was buried "in monasterio sancti Petri"[82].
===Issue===
Per Curt Hofemann, he knows of no sources giving Adaloff a wife or any c h i l d r en. So this is very 'iffy' as to his being the father of Maud de S t . P o l .
The fact that Adalolf was succeeded by his brother rather than a son ca s t s d o u bt on the possibility of children.
