Eustace de Balliol (or Eustace de Helicourt) (died c. 1209) was the cousin and successor of Bernard II de Balliol, lord of Balliol and Barnard Castle. He was the lord of Hélicourt in Picardy, an estate near the chief seat of the main Balliol line at Bailleul-en-Vimeu; after his cousin died childless, in 1190 Eustace de Helicourt took over those estates and remarried.[1]

He and his first wife, Petronilla FitzPiers [sic: second wife] had four known sons, all of whom appeared in the Durham Liber Vitae: Hugh, Enguerrand (Ingram or Ingelram), Bernard, and Henry; his eldest son Hugh succeeded him, while his younger sons Enguerrand and Henry gained the patronage of the Scottish kings and founded Scottish cadet branches based at Inverkeilor (Enguerrand) and at Cavers (Henry).[1] Eustace's son Hugh had succeeded him by around 1209.[1]

From Stirnet: 'Baliol1'

Eustace Baliol of Bywell & Barnard Castle (d c1200)

Various sources show Eustace as father of Hugh by Petronell. However, Hodgson shows him (and his siblings) as son of an earlier unnamed wife.

[m firstly --- (-before 1194). The marriage of Eustace’s grandson John in 1233 suggests that it would be difficult (although not impossible) for John’s father to have been born from Eustace’s marriage with Perronelle, which suggests the possibility of an otherwise unrecorded earlier marriage.]

2. “Eustace de Balliol” (2003) soc.general.medieval < GoogleGroups > On Pernel/Petronilla, Complete Peerage vol. 5, in a chart pedigree in the Essex article, shows that Petronelle, widow of Robert fitz Piers (1st son of Piers de Lutegareshgale), who d. s.p. 1185 or 1186, was living 17 October 1198, and remarried to Eustace de Baillol, of Barnard Castle, who was dead in 1211. Keats-Rohan, Domesday Descendants, p. 300, says that Eustace died 1200, and refers to Sanders, English Baronies, p. 25 for his family. … Eustace's first wife was named Ada, and on chronological grounds she appears to have been the mother of his known sons. There may be better evidence for this in EYC, as well as for her family origin - I don't recall any suggestion that she was a Percy.
