Refers to scholarly study of Alan V. Murray, "The Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem: A Dynastic History 1099-1125" (2000), which represents the current state of the question on whether or not Godfrey, King of Jerusalem, was the same as Geoffrey de Boulogne. On pages 159-164,..Most fascinating, however, is Murray's suggestion (note: a suggestion, not proven) that Geoffrey may not have been a "mere bastard," but rather could have been the offspring of his father Eustace II's first marriage (or rather, attempted marriage) to the English princess Godgifu, daughter of Aethelred II the Redeless, King of England.
