NICOLAS II,
sire de Lalaing, knight, benefactor of the abbey of Flines, husband of Agnès DE WILLERVAL (“Agnes, damme de Huillerval”), with whom he confirms, in October 1274 (13), the gift of an annuity at a chapel in Izel-lez-Esquerchin (Ysier or Isel).

In July 1265, he ratified his father's foundation for the benefit of the poor of Lalaing (Proofs, n°XIl).

In March 1269 (old style), he renewed the donation made by his grandfather, in 1219, to the abbey of Marchiennes (Proofs, n° XIV). At that time, part of the “vinage” of Lalaing, which, in 1219, belonged entirely to Nicolas I, belonged to a certain “Amourris de Lespaisce”, who held it as a fief of the lord of; Lalain; he must have been a member of the illustrious house of Landas and a descendant of the Lalaing through women (14).

It was he who, according to tradition, founded the Saint-Antoine de Lalaing hospital around 1280. This foundation, which had its chaplain, still existed during the Revolution.

The Sire de Lalaing followed King Saint Louis on the crusade of 1270, being “adonques encores joennes” knight (15).

From 1263 until 1285, it appears in many charters of Hainaut, notably in those of Count Jean d'Avesnes, with whom he was familiar.

He presented, to the abbey of Saint-Aubert de Cambrai, a French bible in two volumes, which tempted Count Jean d'Avesnes and Countess Philippa, his wife, and of which the abbey could not come into possession. only after their death, in 1311 (16).

On March 8, we sang, in the church of Lalaing, "the obit of Messire Nicole de Lalaing, which lies in the heart of the said church" (17).

He had
1° Simon, who follows.
…And we believe we can add:
2° Marguerite de Lalaing, wife of Jean DE WAZIERS, knight; he lived in 1310. Being a widow, she made a foundation in the abbey of Flines, and died around 1344 (18).
3° Gille 1er de Lalaing, abbess of Flines in 1323, died in 1356 (19).

(13) Communication due to the courtesy of the archivist Demay; the original act, provided with the seals, of the two, spouses, rests with. Departure from Arras archives, Saint-Vaast collection. Although the wife of a knight and therefore a lady, Agnès then used a seal on which she is still qualified as a demisiele. — Cf. Demay, Sceaux de l'Artois, nos. 390 and 391.
(14) The fief of Lespesse, a. Landas, moved from the motte of Orchies; the first name of Amourris was loved by the Landas. This part of the “vinage will have been detached, probably under Simon II (122.-125.), for some daughter of Lalaing, whose heir was, in 1269, Amaury de Lespaisce.
