WILLIAM.
1189, July 9 (Rodière, 106, pp. 205-206) - 1225, May (SWB, I, pp. 213-214) ; † before 1240 (Rodière, 106, p. 50).
nob. (St.-Omer, Bib. Mun., MSS. 852, f° 122 V°, no. 186).
Knight (Bourbourg, I, no. XCIV, p. 96 (1202, July 15)).
x Elizabeth of Roesbrugge (Brussels, Royal Library, MISS. I, I$72, fo 101 r° v° (89 r°-v°), no. 22 (1206, December)). As a result of this marriage he became lord of Roesbrugge (Ibidem, f° I0I V°-I02 v° (89 v°-90 v°), no. 23 (1206)). Elizabeth was probably descended from the house of Voormezele, since the lord of Voormezele calls her husband "frater" (brother-in-law ?) (Bruges, Diocesan Archives,
Voormezele, charters, provisional no. 16 (1202)).
Elizabeth, lady of Roesbrugge, who married William of Béthune, was probably his daughter (see BETHUNE).

(Warlop, 654-655)
