SIMON III,
sire de Lalaing, knight, (about 1310) husband of Mahaut D'ASPREMONT, died in 1333; interred in Flines.…

In 1290, following Prince Florent de Hainaut, son of Count Jean, at the Chauvency tournament, whose hero and heroine were "Joifrois," lord of Aspremont, and Isabeau, lady of Quiévrain, his wife, then “dame de jovene aage”, father and mother of the one Simon took as his wife, around 1310.

The herald Jacques Bretex describes it as follows: (Curator note: which does not translate at all well by machine!)
“Simars de Lalain, qui d'amors.
Seit les amors et les clamors
And as for the mestier afiert. » (20)

iv) MATHILDE d’Aspremont (before 1302-Beaumont Convent, Valenciennes 1373). Heiress of Quiévrain. Her parentage and marriage are suggested by her husband’s descendants inheriting Quiévrain, which was held by her mother (see above). They are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that, after the death of “Joffroit d’Aspremont chevalier signeur de Kieurechin” his heirs in Quiévrain were “freres et soers...Henri...eveske de Vredun, medame Mehaut de Lalaing se sereur, madame Alliennor d’Aspremont dame de Fontaines leur soer et monsigneur Joffroit de Saint Disier chevalier”[949]. The Catalogue des Lalaing records that she became a nun at Beaumont, Valenciennes where she died in 1373, without citing the primary source on which this information is based[950].

SIMON [III] de Lalaing (-2 May 1333, bur Flines). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. The Catalogue des Lalaing notes that early genealogists recorded “Otton de Lalaing...Isabeau de Saarbruck” as the parents of Simon [III], suggesting that this was based on the tomb of Gille de Lalaing Abbess of Flines which includes the arms of Saarbrücken among her huit quartiers, commenting that the Flines epitaphs “avaient étés refaites” in the early 16th century and that in any case this blason was not included in the epitaph of Simon [III] himself[397]. The poem Les Tournois de Chauvenci records “Simars de Lalain” among those participating in tournaments at Chauvency, dated to 1285[398]. “...Simons de Lalaign chevalier...honme de le contei de Haynau” certified having seen an agreement terminating a dispute between Guy Count of Flanders and Jean Comte de Hainaut, by charter dated 21 May 1295[399]. A memoire concerning Ostrevent, presented to Philippe VI King of France and probably dated to [1338], records that “messire Symon de Lalaing, peres au seigneur qui à présent y est” was suspected of having killed “le seigneur d’Ynmer son oncle”, and was pursued in justice by “madame de Haynaut, mere à monseigneur de Beaumont qui ores est” but “purgié du fait” at Saint Quentin[400]. An epitaph at Flines records the burial of “noble homme Simon jadis sire de Lalaing” who died “le jour de Sainte-Croix” May 1333[401]. m MATHILDE d’Aspremont, daughter of GEOFFROY [III] Seigneur d’Aspremont & his wife Isabelle de Quiévrain (before 1302-Beaumont Convent, Valenciennes 1373). Heiress of Quiévrain. Her parentage and marriage are suggested by her husband’s descendants inheriting Quiévrain, which was held by her mother. They are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that, after the death of “Joffroit d’Aspremont chevalier signeur de Kieurechin” his heirs in Quiévrain were “freres et soers...Henri...eveske de Vredun, medame Mehaut de Lalaing se sereur, madame Alliennor d’Aspremont dame de Fontaines leur soer et monsigneur Joffroit de Saint Disier chevalier”[402]. Nicolas [III] Seigneur de Lalaing certified a charter dated 1300 “verifiyée de bouche par nostre...mere dame de Lalaing et de nos...cousin monseigneur Taillefer de Rosen” by charter dated 20 Mar 1366 (O.S.), sealed by himself and by “notre...fil Colart de Lalaing chevalier signour de Hordaing et seneschal d’Ostrevant...no...cousin monseigneur Jehan de Mortaigne chevalier signeur de Potelles”[403]. The Catalogue des Lalaing records that she became a nun at Beaumont, Valenciennes where she died in 1373, without citing the primary source on which this information is based[404]. Simon [III] & his wife had [ten] children:

(1) NICOLAS [III] de Lalaing (-[20 Mar 1367/4 Jun 1369]). “Collart Sire de Lallaing...”, for himself and on behalf of “ses trois sœurs Florence, Marie et Jeanne”, acknowledged receipt of payments due from “Isabiaus de Kievraing Dame de Spremont” connected with the marriage of “Simon Sgr de Lallaing son pere et de sa mere” by charter dated end-Dec 1338[405].
- see below.

(2) SIMON de Lalaing (-13 Sep 1386, bur Beaumont, Valenciennes). A charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that “Nicollon signeur de Lalaing sen aisnet fil chevalier” sold property with the consent of “...monsr. Symon de Lalaing, monsigneur Jehan dit Sanson de Lalaing chlrs, freres audit monsr de Lalaing...”[406].
- see below, SEIGNEURS de QUIEVRAIN

(3) JEAN “Sanson” de Lalaing (-after 21 Dec 1346). A charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that “Nicollon signeur de Lalaing sen aisnet fil chevalier” sold property with the consent of “...monsr. Symon de Lalaing, monsigneur Jehan dit Sanson de Lalaing chlrs, freres audit monsr de Lalaing...”[407].

(4) [ISABELLE de Lalaing (-[Aug 1326/Dec 1338]). The testament of “Isabeau dame d’Aspremont et de Quévrain”, dated [early Aug] 1326, bequeathed property to “Isabeau de Lalaing cordelière en Verdun...nre...fille Felicitas”[408]. It is likely that the testator bequeathed property to Isabelle as her oldest granddaughter at the time. If that is correct, her absence from the Dec 1338 charter, which names her sisters, suggests that she was deceased at the time.]

(5) [BEATRIX de Lalaing (-[4 Apr 1336/Dec 1338]). Nun. The codicil of “Isabeau dame d’Aspremont et de Quévrain”, dated 4 Apr 1336, bequeathed property to “suer Juliane et suer Jehanne d’Aspremont mes filles, suers de led. eglise de Biaumont, à suer Beatrix de Lallaing, à suer Katherine dou Wés, à Marie et à Ysabiel suers as enfans de Wargni”[409]. Her absence from the Dec 1338 charter, which names her sisters, suggests that, assuming that Beatrix was the testator’s granddaughter, she had died before that date.]

(6) FLORENCE de Lalaing (-13 Aug 1380, bur Berelles). “Collart Sire de Lallaing...”, for himself and on behalf of “ses trois sœurs Florence, Marie et Jeanne”, acknowledged receipt of payments due from “Isabiaus de Kievraing Dame de Spremont” connected with the marriage of “Simon Sgr de Lallaing son pere et de sa mere” by charter dated end-Dec 1338[410]. A charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that “Nicollon signeur de Lalaing sen aisnet fil chevalier” sold property with the consent of “...Gillion de Reumont et demisielle Florence sa femme, demisielle Margherite de Lalaing canoinnesse de Malboege, demisielle Marie de Lalaing canoinesse de Niuielle, et demisielle Gille de Lalaing, sereurs audit signeur de Lalaing”[411]. m ([Dec 1338/Dec 1346]) GILLES de Reumont, son of --- (-bur Berelles).

(7) MARGUERITE de Lalaing (-after 21 Dec 1346). Canoness at Maubeuge: a charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that “Nicollon signeur de Lalaing sen aisnet fil chevalier” sold property with the consent of “...Gillion de Reumont et demisielle Florence sa femme, demisielle Margherite de Lalaing canoinnesse de Malboege, demisielle Marie de Lalaing canoinesse de Niuielle, et demisielle Gille de Lalaing, sereurs audit signeur de Lalaing”[412].

(8) MARIE de Lalaing (-after 21 Dec 1346). “Collart Sire de Lallaing...”, for himself and on behalf of “ses trois sœurs Florence, Marie et Jeanne”, acknowledged receipt of payments due from “Isabiaus de Kievraing Dame de Spremont” connected with the marriage of “Simon Sgr de Lallaing son pere et de sa mere” by charter dated end-Dec 1338[413]. Canoness at Nivelle: a charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that “Nicollon signeur de Lalaing sen aisnet fil chevalier” sold property with the consent of “...Gillion de Reumont et demisielle Florence sa femme, demisielle Margherite de Lalaing canoinnesse de Malboege, demisielle Marie de Lalaing canoinesse de Niuielle, et demisielle Gille de Lalaing, sereurs audit signeur de Lalaing”[414].

(9) JEANNE de Lalaing (-[end-Dec 1338/21 Dec 1346]). “Collart Sire de Lallaing...”, for himself and on behalf of “ses trois sœurs Florence, Marie et Jeanne”, acknowledged receipt of payments due from “Isabiaus de Kievraing Dame de Spremont” connected with the marriage of “Simon Sgr de Lallaing son pere et de sa mere” by charter dated end-Dec 1338[415]. Her absence from the 21 Dec 1346 charter which names her sisters suggests that Marie was deceased at the time. Another possibility is that “Jeanne” was the same person as the daughter named “Gille” in the later document.

(10) GILLE de Lalaing (-16 Mar 1388). A charter dated 21 Dec 1346 records that “Nicollon signeur de Lalaing sen aisnet fil chevalier” sold property with the consent of “...Gillion de Reumont et demisielle Florence sa femme, demisielle Margherite de Lalaing canoinnesse de Malboege, demisielle Marie de Lalaing canoinesse de Niuielle, et demisielle Gille de Lalaing, sereurs audit signeur de Lalaing”[416]. Abbess of Flines 1363[417].
