        BAUDOUIN de Hainaut, son of BAUDOUIN III Comte de Hainaut & his wife Yolande van Gelre ([1110]-6/8 Nov 1171, bur Binche, Monastery of St Marie). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum et Gerardum secundum" as sons of "Balduinus comes Hanoniensis" & his wife[212]. The Liber de Restauratione Sancti Martini Tornacensis names "Balduinum et Richeldem" as children of Comte Baudouin and his wife Yolande[213]. A charter dated 1117 records the donation by "comite Balduino", with the consent of "uxore sua Iola et filio suo Balduino…prefati comites fratres Ernulfus et Willelmus", of "allodium de Oberceiis" to the abbey of Saint-Denis en Broqueroie[214]. He succeeded his father in 1120 as BAUDOUIN IV “le Bâtisseur” Comte de Hainaut, minor until [1124/25]. "Balduinus Hainoniensis comes" renounced rights over "les bois de Saint-Calixte" in favour of Cysoing by charter dated to [1160], signed by "Balduini comitis, Godefridi filii eius, Eustachii del Ruth…"[215]. His brother-in-law Henri Comte de Namur et de Luxembourg named Comte Baudouin as his heir, the right to this prospective inheritance passing to his son Comte Baudouin V after he died in 1171[216]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records that "Balduinus [marito Alidis comitissa]" was buried "Bincii in monasterio sancta Marie"[217].

        m ([1130]) ALIX de Namur, daughter of GODEFROI I Comte de Namur & his second wife Ermesinde de Luxembourg ([1112/14]-end Jul 1169). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names (in order) "ducissa Cyringie…Beatrix…Alidis…" as the three daughters of "comes Godefridus de Namuco" & his second wife[218]. The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Alidem…Godefridi comitis Namurcensis et Ermesendis comitisse filiam" as wife of "Balduinus comes Hanoniensis, Balduini comitis et Yolendis comitisse filiuis", in a later passage specifying that she was one of the daughters of her father's second marriage[219]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names "Alithiam" as sister of "Godefridus frater Henricum", specifying that she married "Hainoensi comiti Balduino"[220], although it is chronologically impossible for Alix to have been the sister of Godefroi. The Liber de Restauratione Sancti Martini Tornacensis refers to the wife of Count Baudouin as "comitis Namucensis germanam"[221].

        Comte Baudouin IV & his wife had eight children:

        1. 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[222], 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"[223]. "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"[224]. m firstly ([1151/52]) 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).

        2. BAUDOUIN de Hainaut ([1134]-[1147/50]). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum, Godefridum secundum, Balduinum tercium, Heinricum quartam" as the sons of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite"[225].

        3. AGNES de Hainaut ([1140/45]-1174 or after). The Chronicon Hanoniense names (in order) "Yolandem, Agnetem, Lauretam" as the daughters of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite", specifying that the second daughter Agnes married "Radulphus de Cocy qui et Cociacum et Marlam et Vervinum et Feram castra possidebat"[226]. 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 (first among those listed) "Agnes [uxor] Rodulfo de Marla"[227]. "Radulphus…Cociaci et Marlæ dominus…Engelranni filius" donated property to Saint-Denis, for the souls of "meæ, Agnetis uxoris meæ" and especially for the soul of "fratris mei Engelranni" who was buried in the abbey, by charter dated 1174[228]. m (before 1164) as his first wife, RAOUL [I] de Coucy Seigneur de Coucy et de Marle, son of ENGUERRAND [II] Seigneur de Coucy & his wife Agnes de Baugency (after 1142-killed siege of Acre Nov 1191, bur Abbaye de Foigny).

        4. LAURETTE de Hainaut (-9 Aug 1181). The Chronicon Hanoniense names (in order) "Yolandem, Agnetem, Lauretam" as the daughters of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite", specifying that Laurette married "Theodericus de Alost, Iwani de Gandavo et Laurete filius" and secondly "in Francia Bucardo de Monte Morenciaco…filium Matheum", recording in a later passage that her second marriage took place "1173 post atavam epiphanie"[229]. 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 (third among those listed) "Loreta [uxor] Buchardo de Montinorencei" by whom she had "Matheum in curia Francie nominatissimum et comitissam Montisfortis matrem comitis Almarici"[230]. The necrology of the abbey of Notre-Dame du Val records the death "V Id Aug" of "domina Laureta de Montemorenciaco"[231]. m firstly DIRK van Aalst, son of IWAN Graaf van Aalst & his wife Laurette de Flandre (-20 Apr 1166). m secondly (early Jan 1173) BOUCHARD [IV] Seigneur de Montmorency, son of MATHIEU [I] Seigneur de Montmorency & his first wife Alix [of England] (after 1126-1189).

        5. GODEFROI de Hainaut (1147-Mons 7 Apr 1163, bur église Sainte-Waudru). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum, Godefridum secundum, Balduinum tercium, Heinricum quartam" as the sons of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite"[232]. "Balduinus Hainoniensis comes" renounced rights over "les bois de Saint-Calixte" in favour of Cysoing by charter dated to [1160], signed by "Balduini comitis, Godefridi filii eius, Eustachii del Ruth…"[233]. Graf van Oostrevant. His father associated him with the government of Hainaut and he bore the title Comte de Hainaut. He died while preparing to journey to Palestine[234]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records the death of "Godefridum [filium Alidis comitissa Hanonensis…cum viro Balduino comite]" aged 16 and his burial "in monasterio beate Waldetrudis"[235]. m (1162) as her first husband, ELEONORE de Vermandois, daughter of RAOUL [I] “le Vaillant” Comte de Vermandois et de Valois & his second wife Aélis [Petronille] d'Aquitaine ([1148/49]-[19/21] Jun 1213, bur Abbaye de Longpont). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Aenoram Radulphi comitis Viromandie filiam" as wife of "Godefridum [filium Alidis comitissa Hanonensis…cum viro Balduino comite]", and in a later passage refers to her subsequent marriages to "Willelmo comiti Nivernensi…[et] Matheo comiti Boloniensi…[et] comiti Bellimontis in Francia Matheo"[236]. She claimed the succession to Vermandois on the death of her sister in 1183, and succeeded in 1186 as Ctss de Valois. She succeeded as ELEONORE Ctss de Vermandois in 1192.

        6. BAUDOUIN de Hainaut (1150-Mons 17 Dec 1195). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum, Godefridum secundum, Balduinum tercium, Heinricum quartam" as the sons of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite"[237]. The Genealogica comitum Buloniensium names "Balduinum" as son of "Hainoensi comiti Balduino" and his wife Alice, specifying that he married "Margaretam filiam Theoderici Flandrensis comitis" and had children (unnamed)[238].

        7. HENRI de Hainaut (-after 22 Jan 1220, bur Douai Saint-PIerre). The Chronicon Hanoniense names "Balduinum primum, Godefridum secundum, Balduinum tercium, Heinricum quartam" as the sons of "Alidis comitissa Hanonensis …cum viro Balduino comite"[242]. 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"[243]. "…Henrici et Willelmi fratrum meorum…" signed the charter dated 1187 under which Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut declared that "frater meus Henricus" and the abbey of Vicogne, owners of the mill at Sebourg, were responsible for its repair[244]. Seigneur de Sebourg. "Henricus dominus de Seburco, comitis Flandriæ et Haynoniæ patruus" donated property to the abbey of Saint-Sauve near Valenciennes by charter dated Nov 1199[245]. “Henricus patruus comitis dominus de Seuorc” founded Vaucelles abbey, with the consent of “Marie uxoris mee et Philippi primogeniti mei”, by charter dated Dec 1219, confirmed by Jeanne Ctss of Flanders by charter dated 22 Jan 1220 (N.S.) which names “Henricus dominus de Seborgh et domina Maria uxor eius et Philippus eorum primogenitus”[246]. An epitaph at Douai Saint-Pierre records the burial of “Henry sires de Sebourcq, fils Baulduin comte de Hainnault, et la comtesse Allis, oncles à l’empereur de Constantinople et au roy de France”[247]. m MARIA van Peteghem, daughter of --- & his wife Pétronille van Peteghem (-after 22 Jan 1220). The genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes records that Henri de Hainaut Seigneur de Sebourg married “la suer mon signeur Jehan de Cysoing”[248]. Her name is confirmed by the Dec 1219/22 Jan 1220 charters quoted below. Le Boucq’s mid-17th century Histoire de Sebourcq names “Dame Ienne de Cisoing” as wife of “Henry de Hainault...Seigneur de Sebourcq, Angre et Fayt” and mother of Philippe who is named below[249], the name being disproved by the same two charters. “Henricus patruus comitis dominus de Seuorc” founded Vaucelles abbey, with the consent of “Marie uxoris mee et Philippi primogeniti mei”, by charter dated Dec 1219, confirmed by Jeanne Ctss of Flanders by charter dated 22 Jan 1220 (N.S.) which names “Henricus dominus de Seborgh et domina Maria uxor eius et Philippus eorum primogenitus”[250]. The later document confirms that Maria was the mother of Henri’s children. Henri & his wife had two children:

        a) PHILIPPE de Hainaut (-after [1230/35?], bur Douai Saint-Pierre). “Henricus patruus comitis dominus de Seuorc” founded Vaucelles abbey, with the consent of “Marie uxoris mee et Philippi primogeniti mei”, by charter dated Dec 1219, confirmed by Jeanne Ctss of Flanders by charter dated 22 Jan 1220 (N.S.) which names “Henricus dominus de Seborgh et domina Maria uxor eius et Philippus eorum primogenitus”[251]. Seigneur de Sebourg. Philippe and his wife “Marie de Strépy” are named in documents dated 1210 and 1213[252]. Considering the suggested date of birth of his daughter Isabelle, Philippe must have survived for many years after 1213 unless there is a missing generation in the reconstruction of the Sebourg family. A later epitaph at Douai Saint-Pierre records the burial of “Philippe sires de Sebourcq, cousin au roy de France et à la comtesse de Hainnault et Hollande”[253]. m [firstly] (1210 or before) MARIE de Strépy, daughter of ALARD Seigneur de Strépy & his wife --- (-after [1230/35?]). Brassart records that Philippe married “la fille mon signeur Alart de Estrepi”[254]. He does not specify the source on which he bases his statement, but from the context it appears to be the genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes, cited above. Philippe and his wife “Marie de Strépy” are named in documents dated 1210 and 1213[255]. Le Boucq’s mid-17th century Histoire de Sebourcq records “Marie de Ville, sœur de messire Allard seigneur d’Estrepy et de Ville” as wife of “Philippe fils de Henry de Hainault” and mother of Isabelle who is named below[256]. As discussed below, the chronology of Isabelle’s life suggests that Marie may not have been her mother. [m secondly ---. Considering the suggested birth date of Philippe’s daughter Isabelle shown below, the possibility that she was born from a second marriage of her father cannot be excluded. Another possibility is a missing generation from the Sebourg family and that Isabelle and her siblings were children of a son of Philippe.] Philippe & his [first/second] wife had [six children]:

        i) [BAUDOUIN de Sebourg . Brassart records that the two sons of Philippe de Sebourg were named Baudouin and Henri[257].]

        ii) [HENRI de Sebourg . Brassart records that the two sons of Philippe de Sebourg were named Baudouin and Henri (specifying that the second was not called Philippe)[258].]

        iii) [ISABELLE de Sebourg ([1240?]-after 1281). Brassart records that Isabelle “l’ainsnée” of Philippe de Sebourg married “mon signeur Bauduin de Hennin”, by whom she had “fils et fille Bauduin et Basille”, and secondly “mon signeur Ernoul de Audenarde, ainsné fil mon signeur Jehan de Audenarde”[259]. He does not specify the source which he quotes, but from the context it appears to be the genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes, cited above. Her first marriage is confirmed by the record of her second marriage quoted below. The date of this first marriage is estimated from the 25 Nov 1263 charter under which property is donated to her two daughters. Her birth date is estimated from the date of this first marriage, and bearing in mind that she had one known child by her second marriage. This date is late if Isabelle was born from her father’s known marriage, which suggests the possibility that she was the daughter of an otherwise unrecorded second wife. As noted above, another possibility is a missing generation from the Sebourg family and that Isabelle and her siblings were children of a son of Philippe. The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis records that "Arnulphus", son of "domino Johannis de Audenarde", married "dominam de Seburgo, relictam domini Balduini de Hennin" as his first wife[260]. Heiress of Sebourg. “Bauduin de Hennin chevaliers sires de Sebourc et Ysabiaus femme à celui Bauduin” donated property to Vaucelles by charter dated May 1266[261]. The marriage contract of “Arnoud fils aîné de Jean seigneur d’Audenarde et du Rosoit” and “Isabelle dame de Fontaine et de Sebourg” is dated mid-Jun 1274, and names “Baudouin fils et deux filles que cette dame avait eus de Baudouin de Hennin son premier mari”[262]. A charter 1281 records the ratification by “domina Elysabeth domina de Sebourch uxor somini Arnulphi de Audenarde militis” of the sale of “villae...Courtemerk in Flandria, Tornacensis dioecesis” by her husband by Guy Count of Flanders[263]. m firstly ([1255/60?]) BAUDOUIN [V] Seigneur de Hénin, son of BAUDOUIN [IV] Seigneur de Hénin & his wife Mathilde de Fontaine (-before Jun 1274, bur Douai Saint-Pierre). m secondly (contract mid-Jun 1274) as his first wife, ARNOUD [V] Heer van Oudenaarde, son of JAN Heer van Oudenaarde & his second wife --- (-1310 or after).]

        iv) [ALIX de Sebourg . Brassart records that Alix, second daughter of Philippe de Sebourg, married “mon signeur Watier de Bousies”, by whom she had two sons “Watier et Bauduin” and three daughters[264]. He does not specify the source which he quotes, but from the context it appears to be the genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes, cited above. m GAUTHIER de Bousies, son of ---.]

        v) [JEANNE de Sebourg . Brassart records that Jeanne, third daughter of Philippe de Sebourg, “fu rendue en l’abbeie dou Kaisnoi”[265]. He does not specify the source which he quotes, but from the context it appears to be the genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes, cited above. Nun at Quesnoy.]

        vi) [JULIANE de Sebourg . Brassart records Juliane “li maisnée” daughter of Philippe de Sebourg[266]. He does not specify the source which he quotes, but from the context it appears to be the genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes, cited above.]

        b) BAUDOUIN de Hainaut (-young). The genealogy written by Baudouin d’Avesnes records that Philippe and Baudouin as sons of Henri de Hainaut Seigneur de Sebourg, noting that the Baudouin “morut jovenes varlés”[267].

        8. EUSTACHE de Hainaut . The primary source which confirms his parentage has not yet been identified. Provost of Sainte-Wandru at Mons 1198.

        9. BERTA de Hainaut . 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 (fourth among those listed) "Berta [uxor] Egidio de Sancto Auberto Cameracensis dyocesis" by whom she had "Gerardum et sororem illius"[268].

        Count Baudouin IV had three illegitimate children by an unknown mistress:

        10. GERARD (-1179, bur église Sainte-Waudru). The Chronicon Hanoniense records "...Willelmus et Gerardus ipsius comites fratres sed non germani..." among the knights who served Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut in the war with “Henricus comes Namurcensis et Lusceleborch”, dated to 1172[269]. The Chronicon Hanoniense records the death in 1179 of "Gerardus comitis Hanoniensis fraters ed non germanus" and his burial "in monasterio beate Waldetrudis"[270].

        11. GUILLAUME de Hainaut (-after 8 Nov 1219[271]). The Chronicon Hanoniense records "...Willelmus et Gerardus ipsius comites fratres sed non germani..." among the knights who served Baudouin V Comte de Hainaut in the war with “Henricus comes Namurcensis et Lusceleborch”, dated to 1172[272].
