Emmanuel de Lalaing, lord of Montigny (Saint-Christophe), known as the baron de Montigny, marquis of Renty (by his wife), knight of the golden Touson in 1586, governor and grand bailli of Hainaut in 1582, admiral of the Belgian sea, general of the Walloon infantry, captain of a band of ordinance; born in Valenciennes in 1557, died in Mons on December 27, 1590, husband of Anne de CROY-Renty. He lies in the heart of the church of Condé.

During the troubles, he stood out as prince of the Malcontents, having then the situation, almost without example, of a twenty-one year old general who did not obey any of the powers that were fighting over a country given over to civil war and invasion, and who was strong enough to hold the destiny of his country in his hands. He ended up declaring himself for the cause of Spain, a resolution that was far from being disinterested. We know these children of his:
