PHILIPPE de Lalaing
count of Lalaing, governor and great bailiff of Hainaut, captain of a band of ordinance, adviser of State; "procreated in Brussels"(83) and born, about 1545, in Valenciennes, in the house of Lalaing, according to the annalists of Valenciennes; married in Brussels, towards the month of June 1569 with Marguerite DE LIGNE known as D'ARENBERG, daughter of Jean de Ligne, knight of the Golden Fleece, and Marguerite de La Marck, countess of Arenberg, he died in Valenciennes, of the consequences of an accident of horse, on May 24, 1582.

He had the project to convert the humble village of Lalaing, chief town of "his county", into a fortified town. He also used his credit to obtain from the abbot of Anchin the renunciation of rights that were inconvenient for the independence of his seigneury, and returned in particular to the possession of the banal mill alienated in 1242 by Simon II (Preuves, n°s XXVII to XXIX.)

Lallaing, le château-Albums de Croy

The capital episode of the eventful life of this lord, it is his attempt to join the Walloon provinces to the mother country, with insurance of the exclusive maintenance of the religion of our fathers, to which the almost unanimity of the inhabitants was entirely devoted. Unfortunately, he was not up to the role he wanted to play, and his intrigues only led to the reopening of the doors of the country to the Spaniards, at whose mercy he found himself. Although a thousand times more guilty than the unfortunate d'Egmont, the count of Lalaing received caresses, honors and "mercedes": because the policy of Philip II had completely changed, under the influence of the skilful Alexander Farnese, who, if he protected the count Philip against the Spanish vengeances, disdorned himself in his secret correspondence with the king, by testifying his contempt for the character.

We know of him his children :

1° Pierre-Emmanuel, who died young (84).

2° François, who followed.

3° Marguerite, countess of Lalaing (after her brother), born in the castle of Lalaing, around April 1574, married, around September 1592, to Florent, count DE BERLAYMONT, knight of the Golden Fleece, widower of Hélène de Meleun; founder of the monastery of the canons of Berlaymont in Brussels, where she was buried after her death on February 21, 1650. Of whom two daughters who had posterity

4° Chrétienne de Lalaing, wife of Maximilien, count DE BAILLEUL (by creation in 1614). Of which two daughters had posterity.

5° Marie de Lalaing, named, with the preceding and the following ones, all then minors, in acts of 1582 and 1583, relating to the succession of their father.

6° Anne de Lalaing, who died young, like her sister who precedes.
Towards the beginning of May 1580, the marquis of Roubaix (Robert de Meleun, whose wife was called Anne Rolin), general of the cavalry in the service of the king of Spain in the Netherlands, asked leave to the prince of Parma, "to go to Valenchiennes to raise the daughter of the count of Lalaing" (85).
