Historical background
NAMUR - MARQUISATE OF NAMUR - GUI OF DAMPIERRE
(1264-1297)
At the end of the 12th century, the County of Namur was attached to that of Hainaut following the marriage of Alix de Namur with Baudouin IV, Count of Hainaut. In 1199, Philippe, second son of Baudouin IV, obtained the county of Namur which was erected as a marquisate by the Emperor Henry VI. Gui de Dampierre only came into possession of the Marquisate of Namur in 1264, when he married Isabelle, daughter of the Count of Luxembourg. In 1280 he inherited, on his mother's side, the county of Flanders. In 1297, he left the county of Namur to his son, Jean. He died in captivity in Paris in March 1305.
