  • Count of Flanders & Marquis of Namur Guy de Dampierre (1225 - 1305)
    Guy of Dampierre (French: Gui de Dampierre ; Dutch: Gwijde van Dampierre ) (c. 1226 – 7 March 1305, Compiègne) was the Count of Flanders (1251–1305) and Marquis of Namur (1264–1305). He was a priso...

GUY de Dampierre, son of GUILLAUME [II Seigneur de Dampierre] & his wife Marguerite II Ctss of Flanders ([1225/26]-Compiègne 7 Mar 1305, bur Abbaye de Flines, near Douai). The Genealogica Comitum Flandriæ Bertiniana names (in order) "Guillelmum Guodnem et Iohannem" as the three sons of "Guillelmo domino de Dampetra [et] Margaretæ", specifying that "primo mortuo sine liberis in tornramento apud Trasegnies"[629]. Matthew of Paris specifies that his parents had "two others" when he records the parentage of his brother Guillaume, but does not name the other children[630]. He succeeded his brother in 1251 as GUY joint Count of Flanders. Willem II Count of Holland, as king of Germany, pronounced that Count Guy and his mother had forfeited imperial Flanders by failing to do homage to him. His forces attacked Holland in 1253 and Count Guy was defeated at Westkappel, on the island of Walcheren, in Jul 1253 and captured. His mother sought help from Charles Duc d'Anjou, who agreed in return for receiving the county of Hainaut which he partially subjugated. A truce was negotiated between all parties 26 Jul 1254, which included an agreement to submit the dispute to Louis IX King of France for adjudication[631]. Count Guy was ransomed in 1256, when King Louis IX confirmed his 1246 decision regarding the Hainaut/Flanders split between the Avesnes/Dampierre families[632]. Guy bought the rights to Namur 20 Mar 1263 from Baudouin II titular Emperor of Constantinople[633]. He succeeded as sole Count of Flanders on the abdication of his mother 29 Dec 1278. Following complaints of maladministration, together with commercial difficulties following a long-running trading dispute with England, rebellions broke out in Bruges and Ypres in 1280/81[634]. Conflicts with France arose after the accession in 1285 of King Philippe IV. In 1290, the emperor enfeoffed Jean d'Avesnes Comte de Hainaut with imperial Flanders, although he lacked the means to enforce it. Count Guy established closer ties with England, confirmed by the Treaty of Lier 31 Aug 1294 under which his daughter was betrothed to the future Edward II King of England. Philippe IV King of France summoned Count Guy to Paris, imprisoned him for four months with two of his sons, forced him to abandon the English betrothal, and obliged him to adhere to the French embargo of trade with England[635]. In Mar 1296, Count Guy's acceptance of an invitation from Valenciennes, chief city of Hainaut, to annex it to Flanders provoked Jean d'Avesnes Comte de Hainaut into invading Flanders from Holland. King Philippe IV declared Flanders forfeit, but restored it on payment of a fine. Count Guy renounced homage to the French king, who attacked Flanders 15 Jun 1297. The Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records that "Karolus comes Valesii" captured "Guido comes Flandrensium...cum duobus filiis Roberto et Guillermo" in 1299[636]. He attacked again 6 Jan 1300, incorporated Flanders into the royal domain, took Count Guy and his sons as prisoners to Paris, and appointed Jacques de Châtillon as royal lieutenant. An uprising followed in Bruges, prompting another French invasion which was heavily defeated at Courtrai 11 Jul 1302. The French navy defeated the Flemish at Zierikzee in 1304, and an indecisive battle at Mons-en-Pévèle followed 18 Aug 1304[637]. The Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis records the death in Feb 1305 of "Guido comes Flandrensis", while still in captivity, the return of his body to Flanders, and his burial "Marguetæ"[638].

m firstly (contract 2 Feb 1246) MATHILDE de Béthune, dame de Béthune, Dendermonde, Richebourg et Warneton, daughter of ROBert [VII Seigneur de Béthune] & his wife Elisabeth de Morialmes (after 1230-8 Nov 1264). The Genealogia Comitum Flandriæ names "Mathilde filia Roberti Tenremontensis" as wife of "Guido frater eius [=Willelmus]"[639]. The testament of "Mahaut feme au…Guion comte de Flandre et dame de Béthune", dated Mar 1250, is witnessed by "…monseigneur Robert sénéchal de Flandre, monseigneur Hellyn son frère, monseigr Guillaume de Grimberghes"[640]. The Annales Blandinienses record the wife of Comte Guy as "filiam Roberti advocati Bethunensis", and the death of "Mathildis uxor Widonis comitis" in 1262[641].

m secondly (May 1264) ISABELLE de Luxembourg, daughter of HENRI II Comte de Luxembourg & his wife Marguerite de Bar, dame de Ligny-en-Barrois (-25 Sep 1298). The Iohannis de Thilrode Chronicon names "Elysabeth filia Henrici comitis de Lucemborch" as the second wife of "Guido", specifying that he obtained the county of Namur through her[642]. The History of the Bishops of Liège written by Jean Hocsemius, canon at Liège, records that "Isabella Flandriæ comitissa soror...comitis Lutzilburgensis" appointed “dominum de Falcomonte” to “terræ dotis suæ Namurcensis” in 1288 after “bellum apud castrum de Waronc” in which her brother was killed[643].

Guy & his first wife had eight children:

  • 1. ROBERT de Flandre ([1249]-Ypres 17 Sep 1322, bur Ypres Saint Martin, transferred to Ypres Cathedral). The Genealogia Comitum Flandriæ names (in order) "Robertum, Willelmum, Iohannem episcopum Leodiensum, Balduinem et Philippum" as the sons of "Guido…ex Mathilde filia Roberti Tenremontensis"[644]. He succeeded his father in 1305 as ROBERT III Count of Flanders.

The Chronicle attributed to Jean Desnouelles records that "li contes de Flandres...sen fil Guillaume" married "la fille Raul de Neelle connestable de Franche"[648]. The Chronique Normande records that "Guillaume filz du conte de Flandres" married "la fille Raoul connestable de France"[649]. “Guillaume fils du comte de Flandres et Alix vicomtesse de Chasteaudun fille et heritiere de messire Raoul de Clermont seigneur de Neelle connestable de France, femme dudit Guillaume“ approved the testament “dudit Raoul“ by charter dated Aug 1293[650]. She married secondly ([1312]%29 as his second wife, Jean de Chalon Seigneur d'Arlay.

Minieri Riccio names “Filippa” as daughter of Geoffroy de Milly by his second wife, adding that she inherited all the fiefs of her mother and her maternal grandparents, noting that she married firstly “il milite Ugo de Sully detto Rosso, col quale procreò Giovanni Gualtieri”, secondly “il milite Guido de Vademont” (from whom she was recorded as widow 29 Apr 1302), and thirdly “Filippo di Fiandra conte di Chieti e di Loreto”[711]. Her family origin and two marriages are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated Jan 1299 names “Philippa de Miliaco, veuve d’Hugues dit Rufus de Suliaco et à présent femme de Gui de Vaudémont chevalier”[712]. The testament of Philippe de Flandre, dated 19 Feb 1308 at Naples, bequeathed half of all his properties in Flanders or elsewhere to “sua seconda moglie Filippa di Milly”, and appointed as his heirs “i suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo”, whom he obliged to pay dowry to “Margarita loro sorella”[713]. Philippa de Milly died 15 Jun 1309 at Gaeta[714]. Philippe & his second wife had three children:
  • a) LOUIS de Flandre ([1305/07]-after 15 Jul 1311). The testament of Philippe de Flandre, dated 19 Feb 1308 at Naples, bequeathed half of all his properties in Flanders or elsewhere to “sua seconda moglie Filippa di Milly”, and appointed as his heirs “i suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo”, whom he obliged to pay dowry to “Margarita loro sorella”[715]. Philippa de Milly petitioned Charles II King of Sicily for funds on behalf of “gli altri due suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo e la figliuola Margarita qui de...progenie comitum Flandrie processerunt”, noting that “l’unico suo figluolo Giovanni Gualtieri de Sully detto Rosso avuto dal primo marito” had “amplas facultates” from the succession of his father, dated 18 Feb 1309[716]. Louis and his sister petitioned Robert King of Sicily for permission to leave for Flanders 15 Jul 1311, Louis dying soon afterwards[717]. m as her first husband, MARGHERITA d’Alneto, daughter of ROBERT d’Aulnay [d%E2%80%99Alneto] Signore di Carinola, Teano, Cassano, Caramanico & his wife Isabella Stendardo (-[after 9 Dec 1342]). Campanile names “Margarita d’Alneto, unica figliuola di Roberto d’Alneto Signor di Carinola, di Teano, di Cassano, di Caramanico” and records her two marriages (no sources cited)[718]. Camera notes that I registri angioini name Margherita as “unigenita filia quond. nobilis domini Roberti de Alneto”[719]. She married secondly (1324) as his second wife, Bertrand de Baux Conte di Andria. Her two marriages are confirmed by the following document: a charter dated 1305 [presumably misdated: 1335?] records a royal commission obtained by “Bertrand des Beaux chevalier Comte de Montescagens et Marg. Daunay sa femme, avant veuve de Louis de Flandre chevalier” against “la Dame de Cassel” confirming revenue from “l’Espier de Bergues” as dower assigned to Marguerite, a decision of the parlement de Paris dated 9 Dec 1342 relating to the same matter[720].
  • b) PHILIPPE de Flandre ([1306/08]-[18 Feb 1309/15 Jul 1311]). The testament of Philippe de Flandre, dated 19 Feb 1308 at Naples, bequeathed half of all his properties in Flanders or elsewhere to “sua seconda moglie Filippa di Milly”, and appointed as his heirs “i suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo”, whom he obliged to pay dowry to “Margarita loro sorella”[721]. Philippa de Milly petitioned Charles II King of Sicily for funds on behalf of “gli altri due suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo e la figliuola Margarita qui de...progenie comitum Flandrie processerunt”, noting that “l’unico suo figluolo Giovanni Gualtieri de Sully detto Rosso avuto dal primo marito” had “amplas facultates” from the succession of his father, dated 18 Feb 1309[722].

The testament of Philippe de Flandre, dated 19 Feb 1308 at Naples, bequeathed half of all his properties in Flanders or elsewhere to “sua seconda moglie Filippa di Milly”, and appointed as his heirs “i suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo”, whom he obliged to pay dowry to “Margarita loro sorella”[723]. Philippa de Milly petitioned Charles II King of Sicily for funds on behalf of “gli altri due suoi figliuoli Ludovico e Filippo e la figliuola Margarita qui de...progenie comitum Flandrie processerunt”, noting that “l’unico suo figluolo Giovanni Gualtieri de Sully detto Rosso avuto dal primo marito” had “amplas facultates” from the succession of his father, dated 18 Feb 1309[724]. Louis and his sister petitioned Robert King of Sicily for permission to leave for Flanders 15 Jul 1311[725].

Guy & his second wife had eight children:

  • 9. MARGUERITE de Flandre ([1265?]-after 17 Oct 1327, maybe 1331?). The Liber Pluscardensis records the marriage at Roxburgh in 1279 of "Alexander filius Alexandri tercii et…Margaretæ sororis Edwardi Langschankiæ regis Angliæ" and "filiam comitis Flandreæ"[726]. The Extracta ex Cronicis Scocie records the marriage "apud Roxburgh…dominica proxima post festum Martini" of "Alexander filius regis Alexandri" and "filiam comitis Flandrie" and the celebration which lasted 15 days, adding that she returned to Flanders after her husband died[727]. The Kronik van Arent toe Bocop records that "Rennolt…grave van Gelre" married secondly "dye dochter van dye grave van Flanderen", naming her "Mergreta" in a later passage[728]. The contract of marriage between "Renauls cuens de Ghelre et dus de Lemburgh" and "Guyon conte de Flandre et marchis de Namur et…dame Ysabel se feme…et noble damoisel Margherite fille dou conte et delle contesse devant ditte" is dated 21 Apr 1286[729]. Pope John XXII permitted "nobili mulieri Margarete relicte quondam Raynaldi comitis Gelrensis" to choose her own confessor, dated 17 Oct 1327[730]. The Kronik van Arent toe Bocop records that "dye gravinne van Gelre, Mergreta dochter van Flanderen" died in 1321 [incorrect date, should be 1331?] and was buried "toe Groenendaell"[731]. m firstly (Roxburgh 1279 or 15 Nov 1282) ALEXANDER Prince of Scotland, son of ALEXANDER III "the Glorious" King of Scotland & his first wife Margaret of England (Jedburgh, Roxburghshire 21 Jun 1264-Lindores Abbey, Fife 28 Jan 1283, bur Dunfermline Abbey, Fife). m secondly (Namur 3 Jul 1286) as his second wife, REINALD I Graaf van Gelre, son of OTTO II Graaf van Gelre & his second wife Philippa de Dammartin (-9 Oct 1326).
  • 10. JEANNE de Flandre (-1296). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Nun at Flines 1283.
  • 11. BEATRIX de Flandre ([1266?] or [1270/73?]-after 1307). Guy Count of Flanders granted money to “nostre...fille Bétris, ke nous avons de notre...conpaigne Ysabel contesse de Namur, en non de mariage” before she was married by charter dated 31 May 1283[732]. Gilles de Roye’s Annales Belgici record the marriage in 1266 of “Beatrix filia Guidonis comitis Flandriæ” and “Hugoni de Castellione comiti S. Pauli”[733]. This date seems unlikely to be correct considering her parents’ marriage in May 1264. It also appears inconsistent with the charter dated 1283 quoted above, unless a betrothal agreement was signed between the parties in 1266. If that is correct, Beatrix must have been recently born at the time. If the date 1266 is incorrect, her marriage in 1287 suggests her birth in [1270/73]. Letters dated 31 May 1329 record a claim by “Iean de Chastillon Comte de S. Pol” against “Guidonem comitem Blesensem”, naming “Beatrix quondam comitissa Blesensis mater dicti comitis Blesensis” and “Hugonis quondam comitis Blesensis mariti sui et patris dicti nunc comitis”[734]. m ([Betrothed 1266?,] 1287) HUGUES [II] de Châtillon, son of GUY [II] de Châtillon-sur-Marne Comte de Saint-Pol & his wife Mathilde de Brabant (1258-1307). He succeeded as Comte de Blois et de Dunois in 1292.
  • 12. JEAN de Flandre ([1267/75?]-[28 Oct 1329/31 Jan 1330], Bruges, église des Cordeliers). The Chronique Normande names "Jehan, Guy et Henry" as the three sons of "conte en Flandres…Guy de Dampierre" by his second wife "fille au conte de Luxembourg"[735]. His parentage is confirmed by the Continuatio of the Chronicle of Guillaume de Nangis which records the marriage in 1308 of "Johannes de Namursio filius Guidonis Flandrensis comitis"[736]. His father appointed him as Governor of the County of Namur at Gent 5 Nov 1297, then ceded his rights to the county 2 Oct 1298, whereby he became JEAN I Comte de Namur.
  • 13. GUY de Flandre ([1270/78?]-Pavia [10/15] Oct 1311). The Chronique Normande names "Jehan, Guy et Henry" as the three sons of "conte en Flandres…Guy de Dampierre" by his second wife "fille au conte de Luxembourg"[737]. Seigneur de Renaix, Graaf van Zeeland 1294. He was probably killed in battle fighting in the army of Heinrich VII King of Germany[738]. Betrothed (Mar 1290, annulled Feb 1294) to MARIE de Mortagne Dame de Mortagne, daughter and heiress of JEAN de Mortagne Châtelain de Tournai Seigneur de Mortagne & his wife Marie de Conflans (-[Jun/Dec] 1312). The marriage contract between “cuens Guys de Flandres et marchis de Namur et me dame Yzabiaus se feme...Guyon leur fil” and “Marie dame de Mortaingne chastelaine de Tournay, mère à damoisiele Marie, damoisiele et hoir de Mortaingne chastelaine de Tournay”, naming as her representatives “Anseaus chevaliers sires d’Offenmont, Béatris contesse de Lussenbourch, Thomas de Mortaingne sires de Romeries, Willames de Mortaingne sires de Rumes chevaliers, Ernous de Mortaingne provos de l’églize Nostre-Dame de Cambray, oncle à le damoisiele de Mortaingne devant nomée, et Jehans de Mortaingne sires de Spière”, is dated Mar 1290[739]. This betrothal was annulled by charter dated Feb 1294[740]. m (contract Sierck 31 Mar 1311, Papal dispensation 1 May 1311) as her first husband, MARGUERITE de Lorraine, daughter of THIBAUT II Duke of Lorraine & his wife Isabelle de Rumigny (-1 Oct [1348/1349], bur [Abbaye d'Orval]). “Jean seigneur de Bevre et de Wallers jadis évêque de Potenza” had anticipated a marriage contract between “Guy de Flandre” and “dame Marguerite fille aînée du duc de Lorraine et nièce dudit Jean” and promised certain obligations in that event, by charter dated 28 Apr 1311[741]. She married secondly ([25 Jan/22 May] 1313) Louis [III] de Looz, who succeeded his father in 1327 as Comte de Looz et de Chiney. The necrology of Orval records the death “Kal Oct” of “domina Margareta de Lotharingia comitissa de Los et Chiney” and her donation[742].
  • 14. HENRI de Flandre ([1275/80?]-6 Nov 1337, bur Bruges). The Chronique Normande names "Jehan, Guy et Henry" as the three sons of "conte en Flandres…Guy de Dampierre" by his second wife "fille au conte de Luxembourg"[743]. Conte de Lodi 1325. m (Jan 1309) MARGARETA von Kleve, daughter of DIETRICH VIII Graf von Kleve & his second wife Margareta von Habsburg-Kyburg ([1292/95?]-after 1325, bur Bruges). Henri & his wife had two children:
  • a) HENRI de Flandre ([1310/15?]-1366). Heer van Ninove. m firstly MARGARETA von Vianden, daughter of [GOTTFRIED [I] Graf von Vianden & his second wife Lutgarde de Ligny Dame de Ligny-les-Fleurus] ([1308/09?]-[1336]). Butkens records Margareta’s marriage, noting her as the daughter of Gottfried [I] by his first wife (no source cited)[744]. Considering the approximate date of birth of her husband (which looks reasonably robust considering his parents’ marriage in 1309), this parentage seems impossible. Neyen names Margareta as Gottfried’s daughter by his second marriage[745], which looks more reasonable from a chronological point of view. Another possibility is that Margareta belonged to the next generation of the Vianden family. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. Neyen records her death in 1336 (no source cited)[746]. m secondly (10 Oct 1352) PHILIPPA van Valkenburg heiress of Valkenburg and Sittard, daughter of REINOLD Heer van Valkenburg Seigneur de Montjoie & his wife Maria van Boutershem (-1368 or after). Jacques de Hemricourt names “mess. Thiris, mess. Johan et 5 sereurs” as the children of “sires de Falcomont messire Renars” and his wife, adding that “ly ainsnée...Phelippe” succeeded to “la terre de Falcomont” after her brother Jan died, married in the same year “monss. Henry de Flandres...cuzin al conte Lowy de Flandres”, and sold Valkenburg to “mess. Renars Maxhereit sires de Schoenvorst” in 1353[747]. Henri had two illegitimate children by unknown mistresses:
  • i) GOSWIN (-before 1413). Espinoy records “Henry de Flandres Comte de Lode Seigneur de Ninove...un fils bastard...Messire Goswin Seigneur de Rymerstede chevalier” who married firstly “Pierre Boudin”, nu whom she had “un fils nommé Pierre comme le pere”, and secondly “Cornille vanden Eechoule” who with his wife disputed the inheritance of her son by her first marriage, recorded “és registres des Parchons de Gand” dated 1386 (no source citations)[748]. Heer van Rymerstech. m MARGUERITE de Pape, daughter of ---: Espinoy records that “Goswin Seigneur de Rymerstede chevalier” married “une noble Dame de la ville de Gand...Catheline de Pape”[749].
  • ii) MARGUERITE (-after 1413). Espinoy records that the succession of “Goswin Seigneur de Rymerstede chevalier” was challenged by “le procureur general pour le Duc de Bourgoigne et Jean van Kerckhoue grand bailly de Gand”, who asserted that he died without legitimate heirs, the claim being defended by “Damoiselle Margriete de Flandres, sœur de Messire Goswin et femme de Jean de Paris” as recorded “aux registres des Parchons de la ville Gand” dated 1413 (citing “fo. 51v”)[750]. m JEAN Paris, son of ---.
  • b) MARGUERITE de Flandre (-8 Jun 1334).
  • 15. ISABELLE de Flandre (-1323). m (1307) JEAN [I] de Fiennes Châtelain de Bourbourg Seigneur de Tingry, son of GUILLAUME [II] de Fiennes & his wife Blanche de Brienne (-after 1333).
  • 16. PHILIPPINE de Flandre (-Paris 2 Feb 1304). The Chronique Normande names "Philippe" as the daughter of "conte en Flandres…Guy de Dampierre" by his second wife "fille au conte de Luxembourg", adding that she was betrothed to "le roy d´Angleterre…Edouart son filz"[751]. The Annals of Worcester record the betrothal of “Edwardum filium regis” and “filiam comitis Flandriæ” as part of the treaty agreed between England and Flanders “die Purificationis beatæ Mariæ” (2 Feb) in 1296[752]. The marriage contract between “Edward...Edward nostre...fiuz” and “Guy conte de Flandres et marchis de Namur...Phelippe fille au dit conte” is dated 7 Jan 1296 (O.S.)[753]. Philippe IV King of France obliged her father to abandon the betrothal after summoning him to Paris in 1300 and imprisoning him for four months with two of his sons. Philippine was sent to Paris for her education[754]. Betrothed (contract 7 Jan 1297) to EDWARD of England Prince of Wales, Comte de Ponthieu et de Montreuil, son of EDWARD I King of England & his first wife Infanta doña Leonor de Castilla (Caernarvon Castle 25 Apr 1284-murdered Berkeley Castle, Gloucestershire 21 Sep 1327, bur Gloucester Cathedral). He succeeded his father in 1307 as EDWARD II King of England.
