    Notes 
    • Mary was the youngest daughter of Malcolm III, king of Scots, and his (second) wife, Margaret.[1][2][3] She married, in 1102, Eustace III, count of Boulogne and Lens.[1][2][3] There were two children from this marriage:

      (Unknown) son de Boulogne, who died young[2]
      Matilda (or Maud) de Boulogne, m. Stephen, king of England[2][3][4]
      Mary, countess of Boulogne and Lens, died 31 May 1115/16 and was buried at St Saviour's monastery, Bermondsey.[5] [2][3]

      Research Notes
      There is no question that Mary and her husband had a daughter, Maud, who later became queen of England. Sir Archibald Dunbar suggests they also had one son whose name is unknown and who died at a young age.[2] Douglas Richardson disagrees there were any sons from this marriage, but states that Eustace had three natural sons by an unknown mistress(es): Raoul, Eustache, and Godfrey.[4] The profiles of William de Boulogne, Eustace de Boulogne, and Pharamus de Boulogne are being detached as sons of Mary, countess of Boulogne and Lens, until sources can be provided documenting any relationship.
