; Per Genealogics:
     “Guy was born about 1226, the second son of Guillaume de Dampierre and Margarethe, countess of Flanders and Hainault. In June 1246 Guy married Mathilde de Béthune, heiress of Béthune, Dendermonde and Richebourg, daughter of Robert VII, seigneur de Béthune and Elisabeth de Morialmé, dame de Fraire. Guy and Mathilde had eight children, of whom six would have progeny.
     “The death of Guy's elder brother Guillaume in a tournament in 1251 made him joint count of Flanders with his mother. (She had made Guillaume co-ruler of Flanders in 1246 to ensure that it would go the Dampierre children of her second marriage, rather than to the Avesnes children of her first.) Guy and his mother struggled against the Avesnes (led by Jan I, count of Hainault) in the War of the Succession of Flanders and Hainault, but were defeated in 1253 at the Battle of Walcheren, and Guy was taken prisoner. By the mediation of Louis IX of France, he was ransomed in 1256. Some respite was obtained by the death of Jan of Hainault in 1257.
     “In March 1265 Guy married Isabelle de Luxembourg, heiress of Namur, daughter of Heinrich 'the Blond', Graf von Luxembourg und Namur, and Margarethe de Bar, dame de Ligny. Guy and Isabelle also had eight children, of whom four would have progeny.
     “In 1270 Margarethe confiscated the property of English merchants in Flanders; this led to a devastating trade war with England, which supplied most of the wool for the Flemish weavers. Even after her abdication in 1278, Guy often found himself in difficulties with the fractious commoners.
     “In 1288 complaints over taxes led Philippe IV of France to tighten his control over Flanders. Tension built between Guy and the king; in 1294 Guy arranged a marriage between his daughter Philippa and Edward, the future King Edward II of England. However, Philippe imprisoned Guy and two of his sons, forced him to call off the marriage, and imprisoned Philippa in Paris until her death in 1306. Guy was summoned before the king again in 1296, and the principal cities of Flanders were taken under royal protection until Guy paid an indemnity and surrendered his territories, to hold them at the grace of the king.
     “After these indignities, Guy attempted to avenge himself on Philippe by an alliance with Edward I of England in 1297, to which Philippe responded by declaring Flanders annexed to the royal domain. The French under Robert II, comte d'Artois, defeated the Flemings at the Battle of Furnes on 20 August that year, and Edward's expedition into Flanders was abortive. He made peace with Philippe in 1298 and left Guy to his fate. The French invaded again in 1299 and captured both Guy and his eldest son Robert in January 1300.
     “The Flemish burghers, however, found direct French rule to be more oppressive than that of the count. After a French army was smashed at the Battle of the Golden Spurs at Kortrijk on 11 July 1302, Guy was briefly released by the French to try to negotiate terms. His subjects, however, refused to compromise, and a new French offensive in 1304 destroyed a Flemish fleet at the Battle of Zierikzee and the French fought the Flemings to a stalemate at the Battle of Mons-en-Pévèle. Guy was returned to prison in Compiègne, where he died on 7 March 1304.”.³ EDV-22 GKJ-21.

     "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].

     “Friedrich was born about 1003, the son of Friedrich, Graf in Moselgau und Lutzelburg, and (Irmtrud) von Gleiberg. He was the count of Malmedy from 1035 and duke of Lower-Lorraine from 1046. With his first wife Gerberge de Boulogne, daughter of Eustace I, comte de Boulogne, and Matilde de Louvain, he had a daughter Judith or Jutta who would have progeny, marrying Walram, Graf von Limburg.
     “When Gozelo I, duke of Upper-Lorraine, margrave of Antwerp, died in 1044, his eldest son Geoffroy 'with the Beard' succeeded in Upper-Lorraine while Emperor Heinrich III initially gave the duchy of Lower-Lorraine to his younger and incompetent brother Gozelo II. Because of the rebellion of Geoffroy, Emperor Heinrich appointed Friedrich as duke of Lower-Lorraine, including Antwerp. Friedrich was a relative of Adalbert (son of Gerhard, Graf von Metz) with whom Heinrich had replaced Geoffroy in Upper-Lorraine.
     “With the aid of his brother Adalberon III, bishop of Metz, Friedrich imposed his authority in the duchy and continued hostilities with Geoffroy, who was still in rebellion. Friedrich was loyal to the emperor but unsuccessful in the field of battle to the extent that at one stage Geoffroy captured him. In 1055 Geoffroy besieged Antwerp, but Friedrich was saved by the Lorrainers, no longer loyal to Geoffroy.
     “In 1055 Friedrich married Ida von Sachsen, daughter of Bernhard II, Herzog von Sachsen, and Eilica von Schweinfurt. The marriage did not result in progeny, and after Friedrich's death she married Albert III, comte de Namur.
     “Friedrich died on 18 May 1065 in a war with the archbishop of Cologne, Anno II. Emperor Heinrich IV, son of Heinrich III, replaced him as duke of Lower-Lorraine with Geoffroy 'with the Beard'.”.³

     "Henry IV (c.?1112 – 14 August 1196), called the Blind (l'Aveugle or der Blinde), was count of Luxembourg from 1136 until his death and count of Namur (as Henry I) from 1139 until his abdication in 1189. He was the son of Godfrey I, Count of Namur and Ermesinde, a daughter of Conrad I of Luxembourg.
     "He inherited the counties of La Roche and Durbuy from his cousins Henry II of Durbuy and Henry of Laroche. When another cousin, Conrad II of Luxembourg, died he was granted that county by the Emperor Lothair II, who thus prevented its passing to the French count of Grandpré. At the same time he also inherited the advocacies of the abbeys of Saint-Maximin at Trier and Saint-Willibrord at Echternach. This was the cause of many conflicts with Albero of Montreuil, archbishop of Trier. Three years later, he inherited Namur from his father.
     "In 1141, he helped Alberon II, Bishop of Liège take Bouillon with Renaut I of Bar. In 1147, he gave up Saint-Maximin, but he regained it on the death of Archbishop Albero de Montreuil in 1152. The new archbishop, Hillin of Falmagne, exchanged the rights over the abbeys with the town of Grevenmacher in 1155. In 1157, he married Laurette (d.1175), daughter of Thierry of Alsace, Count of Flanders, and Margaret of Clermont. They separated in 1163. Left without child, he designated his brother-in-law Baldwin IV of Hainault, husband of his sister Alice of Namur, as his heir. When Baldwin died in 1171, he designated Baldwin V. Baldwin V and Henry carried out two wars, in 1170 and 1172, with Henry III of Limburg.
     "In 1171, Henry married a second time, this time to Agnes, daughter of Henry I, Count of Guelders and Agnes of Arnstein. Heirless still, he repudiated her in 1184, but fell seriously ill and rejoined her. In September 1186, a girl, Ermesinde, was born to them. This birth called into question the plan of succession, as Henry considered his promise to Baldwin null and void. Henry, then 76 years old, pledged his daughter in marriage to Henry II of Champagne. Baldwin still claimed his inheritance. It was then decided that Baldwin would inherit Namur, Ermesinde would inherit Durbuy and La Roche, and Luxembourg (fief masculin) would revert to the Empire.
     "The fiefs were dispensed in 1189. After the planned marriage between Ermesinde and the count of Champagne was cancelled, Henry betrothed her instead to Theobald I of Bar. He entered into a war with Henry of Limburg and was defeated on 1 August 1194 at Noville-sur-Mehaigne. He died two years later in Echternach."

     "Henri de Namur1, dit Henri l'Aveugle, né vers 1112, mort à Echternach le 14 août 1196, fut comte de Luxembourg de 1136 à 1189 et comte de Namur de 1139 à 1189. Il était fils de Godefroi Ier, comte de Namur, et d'Ermesinde de Luxembourg.
     "Il hérite des comtés de La Roche et de Durbuy de ses cousins Henri II de Durbuy et Henri de La Roche. À la mort de son cousin Conrad II (1136), l'empereur lui inféode le Luxembourg, ne voulant pas que ce comté passe au comte français de Grandpré. Trois ans plus tard, il hérite du comté de Namur à la mort de son père. En 1141, il aide Albéron, évêque de Liège à reprendre Bouillon à Renaud Ier, comte de Bar.
     "Avec l'héritage luxembourgeois lui sont également échus les charges d'avoué des abbayes Saint-Maximin de Trèves et de Saint-Willibrod d'Echternach. Cela lui vaut, comme à ses prédécesseurs, des conflits avec l'archevêque de Trêves. En 1147, il renonce à l'abbaye Saint-Maximin, mais revient dessus à la mort de l'archevêque Adalbéron. Finalement, Hillin, le nouvel archevêque, échange les prétentions du comte sur l'abbaye contre la ville de Grevenmacher, en 1155.
     "En 1152, il fonde l'Abbaye Notre-Dame de Leffe à Dinant où il installe des chanoines prémontrés.
     "En 1157, il se marie avec Laurette d'Alsace († 1175), fille de Thierry d'Alsace, comte de Flandre et de Marguerite de Clermont-Beauvaisis. Les époux se séparent en 1163. Sans enfant, il désigne comme héritier son beau-frère Baudouin IV de Hainaut, marié à sa sœur Alix, puis à la mort de ce dernier (1171), son neveu Baudouin V de Hainaut. Avec ces derniers, il mène deux guerres en 1170 et en 1172 contre Henri III de Limbourg.
     "Il se remarie en avril 1169 avec Agnès de Gueldre, fille d'Henri, comte de Gueldre, et d'Agnès d'Arnstein. Quatre ans plus tard, en 1173, il la renvoie chez son père et va rester séparé d'elle pendant une douzaine d'années. À la suite d'une grave maladie, il perd la vue en 1182. Il reprend son épouse Agnès et en juillet 1186 leur naît une fille, Ermesinde2. Cette naissance remet en cause le plan de succession d'Henri l'Aveugle, qui se considère comme délié de sa promesse envers Baudouin. Henri, âgé de 76 ans, cherche un protecteur pour sa fille et la fiance à Henri, comte de Champagne (1166 † 1197).
     "Évidemment, Baudouin V ne l'entend pas de cette oreille et en appelle à l'empereur Frédéric Ier Barberousse. Finalement, il est décidé qu'à la mort d'Henri l'Aveugle :
** Baudouin V de Hainaut hérite du comté de Namur ;
** Ermesinde hérite des comtés de Durbuy et de La Roche ;
** le comté de Luxembourg, « fief masculin » (revenant à l'Empire en l'absence de fils), est confié à Othon de Bourgogne.
     "Henri de Champagne renonce à ses fiançailles et Ermesinde est fiancée, puis mariée (après la mort de Henri l'Aveugle) à Thiébaut Ier, comte de Bar.
     "Henri l'Aveugle est à nouveau en guerre contre Henri III de Limbourg et est battu le 1er août 1194 à Noville-sur-Mehaigne.

     "Henri was born about 1113, the son of Godefroid, comte de Namur, and his second wife Ermesinde, comtesse de Luxembourg. Called 'the blind' ('l'Aveugle' or 'der Blinde'), he was count of Luxembourg from 1136 and count of Namur from 1139 until his abdication in 1189. He inherited the counties of La Roche and Durbuy from his cousins. On the death in 1136 of his cousin Konrad II, count of Luxemburg, he was granted that county by Emperor Lothar von Supplinburg, who thus prevented its passing to the French count of Grandpré. Three years later he inherited Namur from his father. He inherited the stewardship of the abbeys of Saint-Maximin in Trier and Saint-Willibrord in Esternach. This was the cause of many conflicts with the archbishop of Trier.
     "In 1141 he helped Alberon II, bishop of Liège, to take Bouillon with Reinald I, comte de Bar-le-Duc et Mousson. In 1147 he gave up Saint-Maximin, but he regained it on the death of Archbishop Albero de Montreuil in 1152. The new archbishop, Hillin von Fallemanien, exchanged the rights over the abbeys with the town of Grevenmacher in 1155.
     "In 1157 Henri married Lauretta of Flanders, daughter of Thierry d'Alsace, Graaf van Vlaanderen, and his first wife Swanhilde. They divorced in 1163. Left without a child, he designated his brother-in-law Baudouin IV, Graaf van Henegouwen, husband of his sister Adele de Namur, as his heir. When Baudouin died in 1171, he designated his son Baudouin V. Baudouin V and Henri carried out two wars, in 1170 and 1172, against Heinrich III, duke of Limburg, Graf von Arlon.
     "In 1171 Henri married Agnes van Gelre, daughter of Hendrik, Graaf van Gelre, Graaf van Zutphen, and Agnes von Arnstein. Heirless still, he repudiated her in 1184, but fell seriously ill and rejoined her. In July 1186 a daughter Ermesinde was born to them. This birth called into question the plan of succession, as Henri considered his promise to Baudouin V to be null. Henri, then 76 years old, pledged his daughter in marriage to Henri II, comte de Champagne. Baudouin still claimed his inheritance. It was then decided that Baudouin would inherit Namur, Ermesinde would inherit Durbuy and La Roche, and Luxembourg _(fief masculin)_ would revert to the empire.
     "The fiefs were dispensed in 1189, and after the planned marriage between Ermesinde and the count of Champagne was cancelled (in 1192 he married Isabella d'Anjou, queen of Jerusalem), Henri betrothed Ermesinde instead to Thibaud I, comte de Bar et Luxembourg. He entered into a war against Heinrich III, duke of Limburg, and was defeated on 1 August 1194 at Neuville on Mehaigne. He died two years later on 14 August 1196 in Echternach."³

     "HENRI de Namur (1111-14 Aug 1196, bur Abbaye de Floreffe). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Henricum…et Albertum qui iuvenis decessit" as the two sons of "Godefridus comes Namurcensi" & his second wife[119]. "Godefridus comes Namurcensis et Ermensendis comitissa" founded the abbey of Floreffe, with the consent of "Adelberto, Henrico, Clementia, Beatrice, Adelaide", by charter dated 27 Nov 1121[120]. "Godefridus comes Namucensis et Ermensindis comitissa" donated property to the abbey of Floreffe with the consent of "filiis suis Alberto et Heinrico…" by charter dated 7 Jan 1125[121]. "Ducem Godefridum seniorem eiusque filium…Godefridum iuniorem" donated property "in parochia Braniensi…Dudinsart" to Gembloux by charter dated 1131, witnessed by "Godefridus comes Namucensis eiusque filius Henricus, Henricus minor filius ipsius ducis, Wilhelmus advocatus de Namuco eiusque frater Anselmus…"[122]. He succeeded his first cousin (on his mother's side) in 1136 as HENRI Comte de Luxembourg. He succeeded his father in 1139 as HENRI I "l'Aveugle" Comte de Namur. He marched against Adalberon Archbishop of Trier in 1141, was excommunicated and lost Luxembourg territory when the archbishop counter-attacked, although peace was finally signed in Speyer in 1146[123]. He also challenged the authority of the Bishop of Liège, attacking the château de Bouillon which the bishop claimed from the counts of Bar, but was defeated in 1151 at Andenne by the forces of Bishop Henri de Leyon[124]. He named his brother-in-law Baudouin IV Comte de Hainaut as his heir in Namur and Luxembourg, the latter's son Baudouin V assuming the position of designated successor after his father's death[125]. Comte Henri lost his sight in 1182[126]. After the unexpected birth of his daughter in 1186, Comte Henri revoked his assurance to Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut concerning the succession and betrothed the infant to Henri II Comte de Champagne. In 1188, Comte Henri was obliged to reinstate Baudouin as his heir after a verdict in the latter's favour from Heinrich VI King of Germany. Comte Baudouin attacked Namur, captured Comte Henri and obtained a confirmation of his position from Emperor Friedrich I who also secretly created him Marquis de Namur. Under a compromise reached in 1190, Baudouin received Namur immediately, with the expectation of La Roche and Durbuy after the death of Henri who received the revenues of these two counties for life; the fate of Luxembourg was not mentioned. The creation of the Marquisate of Namur was announced at Worms in 1190, at which time Comte Henri retired to Luxembourg where he continued to rule as count[127]. He made a last attempt to recover Namur in 1194 but was defeated at Noville-sur-Mehaigne[128].

     "In 1138 Hendrik inherited the County of Zutphen from his mother.
     "Hendrik was under tremendous pressure from the Bishopric of Utrecht and the County of Holland, and was forced by Holland to negotiate a treaty with the city of Utrecht; this led to a problematic relation with the Bishop of Utrecht.

     “Ermesinde was born in July 1186, the only child of Henri, comte de Namur et Luxembourg, and his second wife Agnes van Gelre. She was the countess of Luxembourg, Laroche and Durbuy between 1197 and 1247. Prior to her birth, her aging father had designated Baudouin V-VIII, Graaf van Henegouwen, Graaf van Vlaanderen, son of his sister Adele, as his likely successor. However, when Ermesinde was born in 1186 and Henri named her as his heir, a war of succession inevitably took place. At its end, it was decided that Baudouin would have Namur, Ermesinde would have Durbuy and La Roche, and Luxembourg would revert to the Holy Roman Empire (Emperor Heinrich VI then gave the fief to his brother Otto II von Hohenstaufen, count palatine of Burgundy).
     “Ermesinde was initially betrothed to Henri II, comte de Champagne, but the engagement was cancelled in 1189. Instead her first husband was Thibaud I, comte de Bar et Luxembourg, son of Reinald II, comte de Bar et Mousson, and Agnès de Blois-Champagne. Thibaud successfully negotiated with Otto I, count of Burgundy for the latter's renunciation of Luxembourg, thus making Thibaud and Ermesinde its count and countess. They had four children of whom Elisabeth (Isabella) would have progeny, marrying Walram V von Limburg, sire de Montjoie et Sittard. When Thibaud died in 1214, Ermesinde married Walram IV, duke of Limburg, son of Heinrich III, duke of Limburg, Graf von Arlon, and Sophie von Saarbrücken. Walram IV would rule as the count of Luxembourg. Their sons Heinrich and Gerhard, and daughter Katharina, would all have progeny. In 1223 Ermesinde and Walram pressed their claim to Namur against Philippe II de Courtenay, comte de Namur, but were ultimately unsuccessful.
     “After Walram's death in 1226, Ermesinde ruled Luxembourg alone for two decades. She proved to be an effective administrator, granting charters of freedom to several towns and increasing the prosperity of her county. She died on 12 February 1247.”.⁵

After the murder of Corrado di Monferrato, Comte Henri hurried to Tyre, where he was acclaimed as the suitable candidate to marry Corrado's widow the heiress of the kingdom of Jerusalem, and within two days his betrothal was announced[20]. He succeeded in 1192 as HENRI King of Jerusalem, by right of his wife, but was never crowned king[21]. Together with Richard I King of England, he signed a five year peace treaty with Saladin 2 Sep 1192, under which the coastal towns as far south as Jaffa were ceded to the Christians who were also given the right to visit the holy places in Jerusalem[22]. He appointed Jean of Ibelin as Constable of Jerusalem in 1194, considering that Amaury de Lusignan had forfeited the post after being arrested for supporting the Pisan revolt in Tyre[23]. Following the succession of Amaury de Lusignan as Lord of Cyprus in 1194, the two parties planned an alliance, sealed by the betrothal of Amaury's three young sons to Comte Henri's three young daughters[24].

     "Walram was born about 1180, the son of Heinrich III, duke of Limburg, Graf von Arlon, and Sophie von Saarbrücken. He was initially lord of Montjoie, then count of Luxembourg from 1214. He became count of Arlon and duke of Limburg on his father's death in 1221.
     "As a younger son, Walram did not expect to inherit. An adventurous youth, he took part in the Third Crusade in 1192. Walram was a supporter of the imperial candidate Philipp, son of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa, but when Philipp died in 1208, Walram turned to his Welf opponent Otto IV von Braunschweig, son of Heinrich 'the Lion', duke of Saxony.
     "In 1212 he accompanied his first cousin Hendrik I, duke of Brabant, to Liège, then in a war with Gelre.
     "With his first wife Kunigunde von Monschau, daughter of Ludwig von Monschau, he had two sons and two daughters who would have progeny. Kunigunde died in 1214 and in May of that year he married Ermesinde de Namur, comtesse de Luxembourg, the only child of Henri, comte de Namur et Luxembourg, and his second wife Agnes van Gelre. Through her he became count of Luxembourg. Ermesinde claimed Namur and so Walram added a crown to his coat of arms to symbolise this claim. Their sons Henrich and Gerhard, and daughter Katharina, would all have progeny.
     "In 1221 Walram inherited Limburg and added a second tail to the rampant lion on his arms. This symbolised his holding of two great fiefs. In 1223 he again tried to take Namur from its count Philippe II de Courtenay. He failed and signed a peace treaty on 13 February in Dinant. He then took part in various imperial diets and accompanied Emperor Friedrich II into Italy. Returning from there, he died in Rolduc on 2 July 1226."⁶ Walram/Waleran IV (?)
