Baldwin II, Lord des Marets, received for his bravery in the Holy Land from the King of Jerusalem, in fief the city of "Rhosas," in Palestine which fact according to Le Carpentier's named genealogy caused his ancestral Arms to be augmented with four roses, or. These completed Arms, at least the shield, seem to have occurred on a medal which is mentioned in the Will of Baldwin's great-grandson, Baldwindes Marets, Lord of Sorick." Early Genealogical Records, pg. xviii,para. 1.
"Le Carpentier, in his work, "Histoire de Cambray," quotes the work of William, Archbishop of Tyre, folios 861, 896, and 900, so as to prove that this Baldwin des Marests, together with the Count of Edessa, Josselin de Courtenay, re-occupied the City of Edessa in 1142, taking it from Sultan Noradin, and that Baldwin fell against the Turks in1145."
Early Genealogical Records, pg. xviii, para. 2.
