i) SOPHIE de Beaufort (-after Aug 1281). “Beatrix relicte de jadis Henry seigneur de Beaufort chevalier, comme aussy mademoiselle Clemence fille dudit seigneur Henry...mademoiselle Sophie fille ainée du souvent dit Henry” donated “la disme de Benz, de Beaufort et de Gyvres” to Solières by charter dated Jul 1274[279]. Heiress of Beaufort. “Sohier chevalier et sire de Bialfort et Soffie de Bialfort femme a devant dit Sohier” confirmed that “messires Ernus qui jadis fut chevalier et sire de Bialfort” had during his lifetime donated “la disme...de Bialfort et de Benz, de Gievres” to Solières, with the consent of “ses oirs...monsagneur Henry chevalier, Ernus et Wathier si freres et Clemence lor sœure”, by charter dated late Aug 1281, sealed by “Saingnor Rasson chevalier jadit seigneur de Liedekerke, saingnor Sohier chevalier jadit seigneur de Bialfort et dame Soffie dame de Bialfort jadite femme et epouse a dit seignur Sohier”[280]. Borman & Poncelet indicate that Sophie was “fille soit d’Arnold, soit de Wauthier”[281], which is incompatible with the Aug 1281 charter. Goethals says that her marriage was arranged by Jean d’Enghien Bishop of Liège[282], which if correct dates the event to after 1274 when he was elected bishop.
