Guillaume, seigneur de Lalaing and de Bugni,
by Bugni(49) Bugni court, etc., seneschal of Ostrevant (by purchase in 1441), knight, bailiff of Hainaut from 1427 to 1433, stadtholder (governor) of Holland until 1445, lieutenant general of Duke Philippe le Bon in the duchy of Luxembourg in 1441 , chamberlain of the duke and knight of honor of the duchess, - married around 1418 Jeanne DE CRÉQUY, childless widow of Robert de Wavrin, son of the lord of Wavrin and killed with his father at Azincourt in 1415. Died in 1475, he lies in Lalain. During his father's lifetime, he was known as the Lord of Bugnicourt.

Around 1430, he acquired from Jean de Maubeuge the feudal office “of the heritable venerie of Haynnau”; but Duke Philip the Good expressed the "intention of taking it back for the money and applying it to the future of the country of Haynnau"; however the prince abandoned this project, and in 1454, the Sire de Lalaing sold to "monsr Anthonne Raulin, lord of Aymeries", the liege fief "comprised of the inheritable venerie of Haynnau, also in the louuerie, in pourseugs, in tax, in revenue of silver, dainty and cappons” (53).

Guillaume de Lalaing and his wife, who lived until 1495, mourning the death of three sons and deploring the disorders of the only one who remained, had children of both sexes:
1° Jacques de Lalaing, the Good Knight, born around 1420, at the castle of Lalaing, knight of the Golden Fleece in 1451, after his famous step of the Fountain of "plours", killed in front of Poucques, three leagues from Ghent, on July 3, 1453, at the moment when the war against the rebellious Ghenters was about to end. He left an unblemished reputation and made his name illustrious for ever.
2° Jean de Lalaing, who follows.
3° Philippe de Lalaing, emulator of the Good Knight, born around 1430, killed at Montlhéry, on July 16, 1465. We published his step of the Perron fée, held in Bruges in 1463 (Douai, 1874, in-8°).

He left several bastards:
..A. Méliador, bastard of Lalaing, squire of stable of the king of the Romans and of the archduke his son, bailli of Douai since 1489 until his death in 1499 (50); lying in the church of the cordeliers or walloon récollets of Douai, in front of the altar Sainte-Barbe.
It broke of a net of azure in bar.

He married delle N.... DE N...., who bore: Gules with three fess argent (51); alias;
Fasced of silver and gules of six parts (52).

Around 1500, the fief of La Prayelle in Contiches, belonging to the Motte d'Orchies, belonged to "the vesve of Méliador de Lallaing"; it had been, in 1473, to the knight Philippe de Wavrin, lord of. Saint-Venant, who became lord of Wavrin after his father, around 1480, and died in 1500. They had :

….a. Artus de Lalaing, esquire, lord of La Prayelle, married to Jeanne Du BRUGANDIN, who married Jean Tauve de La Vacquerie, esquire, chief-eschevin (mayor), widower, with adult children, of Isabeau Gosson, in Douai, in October 1536; she had died before 1548 and lay at Saint-Albin, in front of the altar of Saint John and Saint Michael; related (aunt perhaps) to Pierre du Brugandin, esquire, lord of the said place, to Hercules, to Barbe and to Louise du Brugandin, brothers and sisters, alive in 1548.

….b. Jeanne de Lalaing (who broke a golden plain), wife of Maurand DE HAUSSY, esquire, lord of Remerchicourt, born around 1485, chief of Douai in 1548, 1552 and 1557, died on December 4, 1558 at the palace of Bassecourt of which he was "concierge"; we would say today: governor; - son of Jean de Haussy, receiver of the domain in Douai (1491-1518), bailiff of that city (1504-1513), "concierge" of Bassecourt, ennobled in 1500, and "demoiselle Anthoine" Le Preudhomme. They had two daughters, Antoinette and Jeanne de Haussy, who married into the du Hem d'Auby family.

….c. Philippote de Lalaing, widow in 1530 of Jacques DE TOUVILLE, squire, "familiar domesticq" of the count of Gavre, lying in Ghent, in the church of Saint-Michel. On her husband's tombstone, she bears: Argent with three fess of Gules, with a full quarter of Lalaing (53); it was undoubtedly a combination of her father's and mother's coats of arms: at that time, the full arms put in a full quarter on any shield were a sign of bastardy. According to the genealogical table of the Cabinet des titres, she bore, like her two sisters, a golden plain,

….d. "Damoisello" N.... of Lalaing.

..B. Demoiselle A...., bastard of Lalaing (who broke like her brother and sister, according to the said genealogical chart), in 1499 widow of Antoine DE BOUBAIS. Of which posterity.

..C. Catherine, bastard of Lalaing, "by the late Sir Phle engendered or body of Jehenne de Gand, for then unmarried", as it is explained in the genealogical chart. as it is explained in the letters of legitimation that she obtained, for a fee, in Brussels, in September 1520 (54), and that she made register Lille, in the chamber of the accounts (20th register of the charters, f° vjxxj), on September 2, 1522 (55), but without discharging the 62 livres 10 sols of the finance taxed by the chamber, so that the registration was declared "of null value. At the time of obtaining the letters of 1520, she was married to "Jehan, sr DE LA DEUZE".

4° Antoine de Lalaing, knight, lord of Bugnicourt, chamberlain of the duke, knighted at the coronation of King Louis XI in Rheims on August 15, 1461; he fought at Monthéry, alongside his brother Philippe (56). He would have married Marie DE NOYELLES Wyon, heiress of Hangest, who married Gilles de Waziers, knight, lord of Heudincourt, according to the genealogists, who are without departure, reg. aux rémissions, B 1727, fo xxvij; in margin: " moiennant fine ciuille "; it was the " finance " taxed in Lille by the chamber of the counted.

It is doubtless more exact here than when they make Antoine de Lalaing die in 1477 under the blows of the Swiss while: he died on January 8, 1469 (old style), lying in the church of Lalaing, in the chapel of Notre-Dame de Sainghin', where was a beautiful and large stone with its representation and its four quarters, which stone is now preserved in a private property of the village.

He had from Catherine de couvringhe, "for then not married", a bastard:

..A. Rodigue, bastard of Lalaing in 1505, squire and captain of the archers of the body of the archduke Philip the Handsome, king of Castile, legitimized, about this time, by this prince, without financing, "for regard of the virtues and good deaths are in him, and of the great, leases and pleasant services which he has, all his eaige, faiz to feuz our predecessors, whom God absoille, and, to us, and has fencoires daily" (57). Molinet quotes him several times, about tournaments, military expeditions, etc. He broke with a net a few times. He broke a golden net in a bar (cabinet of titles; genealogical table).
He left a daughter:

….a. Jeanne de Lalaing, died on November 28, 1540, - wife of Lambert DE LIGNE, bastard of Barbançon, esquire, who died on November 20, 1555, natural son of Michel de Ligne, lord of Barbançon, who died in 1468, - rested with her husband, in the church of Boussu, where their epitaph is (58)
In the great genealogical table of the Cabinet des titres, drawn up towards the end of the 16th century, she is mentioned, with her alliance, but without filiation.

5° Yolente de Lalaing, born around 1422, married to Renaud, sire DE BREDERODE, of the princely house of Holland, knight [of the Golden Fleece; whose posterity.

In 1492, widowed, she resided at the castle of Brederode (Molinet, IV, page 279).

6° Isabeau de Lalaing, canoness of Mons in 1429, married Pierre DE HENNIN, lord of' Boussu, knight of the Golden Fleece; whose posterity, notably the counts of Boussu. Finally the lord Guillaume, seems to have had, before his marriage, a natural child:

..1° (bis)." Jehan de Lalaing, b. [bastard; would it not be rather bailli?] of Haubourdin, lived in the year 1456, husband of Peronne GUILBAUT, daughter of the late Jehan"; he broke the shield of Lalaing with a bar of vert, and his wife bore: Argent with a chevron of azure with an eagle of gules in the dexter canton (large genealogical table of the Cabinet of titles). The Guilbauts were from Lille. Another Péronne Guilbaut, daughter of Guy, treasurer of the finances of the duke, died about 1430, was the first wife of Bauduin d' Ongnies, governor of Lille.
