Notes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enguerrand_I,_Lord_of_Coucy
Enguerrand I (c. 1042 – 1116) was the Lord of Coucy from 1086 [1] to 1116.

Enguerrand was a man of many scandals. With the help of the Bishop of Laon he 
divorced his first wife, Adèle de Marle, for adultery. When he married his next wife, 
Sibyl of Château-Porcien, she was still married to Godfrey of Namur, the Lord of 
Lorraine [1] who was absent and in a war. Enguerrand and Sybil's first husband 
became bitter enemies and continued to fight a private war.

Adèle's son Thomas de Marle hated his father and joined the enemies against his 
father. Nevertheless, when in 1095 the First Crusade started, both he and his son 
joined in the adventure as part of the army of Emicho. Thomas succeeded Enguerrand 
upon his death.

Family[edit]

Enguerrand was the son of Drogo, Lord of Boves.

Enguerrand married Adèle (Ada) de Marle, the divorced wife of Aubry, Viscount of 
Coucy, and daughter of Letard de Roucy, Lord of Marle. Letard was, in turn, the son 
of Gilbert, Count of Reims and Roucy. Enguerrand and Ada had three children:
Thomas de Marle (1078–1130/31). Lord of Coucy and Marle, Count of Amiens.[2][3][4]
Beatrix de Boves (-1144). Married Adam Châtelain d´Amiens.[5]
Robert de Coucy.

Enguerrand is said to have kidnapped Sibyl of Château-Porcien, the wife of Godfrey I, 
Count of Namur.[6] With the kidnapped Sibyl pregnant with Enguerrand's child, he 
later married her and they had a daughter[1] Agnès de Coucy. Enguerrand and Agnès 
were the great-grandparents of Robert of Thourotte, who was Bishop of Langres from 
1232-1240 and Bishop of Liège from 1240-1246, a fact which possibly absolved him of 
his many sins.
