On 3 November 1212, Hawise promised the king 5000 marks (£3333 then, equivalent to over £3 million in 2014) to keep her lands and avoid a fourth marriage.
After he died, in memory of his donations, the abbot and monks prayed daily for his soul and held a solemn mass on the anniversary of his death.

Alternatively, Baldwin of Adrianople may have been a son of Conon of Béthune who held the Byzantine titles of protovestiarios and sebastokrator.
