About Yolande van Hengouwen

Hugues (IV) de St. Pol was her second husband, but Renaud de Chatillon (alias Renaud of Antioch, alias Reynald of Kerak, alias Reynald the Robber) was NOT their son. She was getting long in the tooth and only managed two daughters, Elizabeth and Eustachie.

Renaud's ancestry is very uncertain - nobody wanted to claim him (no surprise). It is impossible for him to have been a son of Yolande and Hugues, as Renaud was a veteran of the Second Crusade (1147-49) and just stuck around in Palestine afterwards.



YOLANDE de Hainaut ([1131/35]-after Apr 1202). The Chronicon Hanoniense names (in order) "Yolandem, Agnetem, Lauretam" as the daughters of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite", specifying that Yolande married firstly "Ivo senior…comes Suessonis dominusque Nigelle", but was childless by him, and married secondly "Hugonis Sancti Pauli", recording in a later passage that she was 47 years old at the time of her second marriage in 1178[293], although her age is probably exaggerated considering that she gave birth to two children by her second husband. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "comitem Balduinum, Henricum de Seburgo et quatuor sorores" as children of "comiti Balduini de Haynaco", naming one daughter (second among those listed) "cometissa Suessionensis Hyolenz" specifying that she later married "comiti Hugoni de Sancto Paulo" by whom she had "Ysabellam uxorem comitis Galtheri de Castellione, qui per uxorem factus est comes de Sancto Paulo, et Eustaciam uxorem Iohannis de Nigella"[294]. "Ivo comes Suessionensis et dominus Nigellensis…uxor mea Hyolens" donated property to the abbey of Notre-Dame d'Ourscamp by charter dated to [1173] which names "nepos meus Cono heres meus et dominus Petrifontis"[295]. m firstly ([1151/52]%29 IVES [II] de Nesle Comte de Soissons, son of RAOUL Seigneur de Nesle & his wife Rainurde --- (-Aug 1178). m secondly (1178) HUGUES [IV] Comte de Saint Pol, son of ANSELME "Candavène" Comte de Saint-Pol & his third wife Mathilde --- (-Nov 1205). http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/HAINAUT.htm#YolandeHainautdied1202
