Boulogne later became influential in the history of England , when Eustace II accompanied William The Conqueror 's Invasion in 1066 . Boulogne was also a major participant in the First Crusade ; Eustace III 's brothers Godfrey and Baldwin both became King Of Jerusalem , and Eustace himself was offered but declined the title. Count Renaud joined the Imperial side at the Battle Of Bouvines in 1214 , and was defeated by Philip II Of France . Boulogne passed under nominal royal control in 1223 when it was given to Philip II's son Philip Hurepel. Hurepel revolted against Blanche Of Castile when Louis VIII died in 1226 . When Philip died in 1235 , for unknown reasons the county passed to Adelaide of Brabant, Matilda's niece, and her husband William X, Count Of Auvergne , rather than Matilda and Philip's descendants. Boulogne was attacked numerous times during the Hundred Years' War . In 1477 Bertrand VI of La Tour gave up the county to Louis XI who incorporated it into France (except for a brief period of English rule under Henry VIII ; see Siege Of Boulogne ).
