Gerard de Durbuy, just as John the Blind (son of John VI), born 08/10/1296, Count of Luxembourg, Laroche, Marquis d'Arlon and King of Bohemia after him, fortified the town of Durbuy which Haughty lordship became a dominant Wéris Grandmesnil the Sarte, land cleared between 1275 and 1314, sold in 1342 and soon Engagers that, until 1795.

Information taken from Lefort and supplemented by the parish registers of St. Lambert
Rendeux
" In 1304 lived in Chéoux Gerard Count of Luxembourg and in 1309 also lived Chéoux Gerard Count of Durbuy "
Added footnote on page: " It has been established that these two counties were among the ancestors of the lords of Chéoux ... ...."
But the two people mentioned were one and the same person ... and we know that Gerard de Durbuy living well in his castle of Durbuy, but he had property to Chéoux ... .. as indeed of property in Durbuy were in the purse of the family Chéoux.
In his book on local history Chéoux Jean Collet Chéoux Melchior said that would be a distant descendant of Gerard de Durbuy who had property Chéoux ... ....
We know that there were justified in Ferot in 1380 already, and a hundred years later, Jehan Lambert Lardenois Marchan and take care of these forges, being close collaborators, if not kinship with the Lord of Durbuy, at that time, Evrard de La Marck who will take the Engagers Durbuy on earth in 1471.
the new stove in 1527, we find Thomas Bastard (from Lardenois), son of Lambert-su appointed, whose daughter married Henry Harris, lord hired to forge the same and whose own daughter married to Bernard Thiry Chéoux, son of Bernard de Chéoux who gave the viscount My William!
The possibility that the in-law of Gerard de Durbuy, which seems, on first reading, to have had only daughters, can be derived or lead a Chéoux is excluded simply because these are Chéoux already mentioned, at the earliest in 1275. We know that Bernard Chéoux inherits property on Chéoux, Durbuy and Laroche same, which is not the case for in-law of Gerard de Durbuy, none is mentioned as lord or possessor of these places ... ...
Gerard of Luxembourg, Count of Durbuy younger son, his brother Henry V the Blond is a count of Luxembourg, and when we know that Durbuy is the smallest town in Belgium ... .... at least recover all of Gérard de Durbuy possessions, or his will. We also see that he had at heart to marry his daughters with the lords of thought ... to extend its power?
We shall see what say our columnists. The sons-
Gerard de Durbuy will compete inheritance. Gerard de Grandpre, his grand-son, son of Henry and Isabelle de Grandpre Durbuy, renounce his claim on the estate for 100 pounds of ground small tournaments, assigned to the mill Aumas, the land of his castle with Roussy , and all castellany dependencies that Henry VI, the bastard son of Henry Blondel already died, abandoned him in 1304.
Lords of Grandpre can be pretentious, they just missed the fabulous heritage of the Duchy of Luxembourg, Henri II de Grandpre, their ancestor, married Lutgarde of Luxembourg, the sister of Conrad II of Luxembourg died without heirs ... ...
Gerard V Blankenheim Ermengarde husband, eldest daughter of Gerard de Durbuy arm, is also demanding, in 1306, a share of the estate and then give up land for 100 pounds of small tournaments and 2,000 pounds of currency.
Gerard Durbuy, as the second son of Limburg and Waleran Ermesinde of Luxembourg was not intended to have great wealth or many fiefdoms. Ermesinde was careful not to break up its territory and to this end early associations his eldest son Henri, Count of Luxembourg, Blondel said the management of family assets. Gerard
thus receives the stronghold of Durbuy, they say, and her sister Catherine lands Poilvache and Marville. Curiously, in 1243, is still Henry Blondel who manages the land of Durbuy and which bore the title of Lord of Durbuy.
It seems that both brothers were see in all colors to the monks of the Abbey Stavelot-Malmedy to the point that the papal legate Hugh of St. Sabina
have intervened. The
06/23/1247 Gerard Henry cedes to the lands and lordship of Durbuy with jurisdiction over all men there, and those who remain on the lands of the abbey located in Durbuy Havelange, Liege and , to Huy, in short, all along the Meuse. Henry will also give him the land and Villance Famenne Dalheim and Filsdorf. In return, Gerard waives all claims when the paternal and maternal inheritance and became lord of Durbuy. There are
Gerard de Durbuy busy policy, both outside his county of Durbuy - but though they say, Durbuy was not a county-domestic. We find very often alongside his brother as a witness, referee or guarantor. That is probably why it will always be identified as Gerard of Gerard de Luxembourg preferably in Durbuy. It seems that the only disagreement between the two brothers have been on the marquis de Namur fell to Guy de Dampierre. Henri rule it different through matrimonial ties that Gerard does not approve, because he must give up (on 29.05.1265) to its final claims on Namur. It
in 1270 that Gerard will be involved this time in the famous "war cow" who opposes him, his brother and the Count of Flanders, Jean d'Enghien, Bishop of cork.
His record will find themselves often overwhelmed by the army of the Bishop of Liège, Henry Blondel avenge the burning part of Ciney. The King of France will have to intervene to calm things down. According
Wampach in his history of Luxembourg, the War of the cow did exist but no cow is causing the conflict. It was only territorial disputes between Jean Beaufort vassal of the bishop, who enfeoffs its land and its castle to Count of Namur (which will be supported in its defense by the Count of Flanders) which is not welcomed by the Bishop decidedly good fighter, who launched the offensive.
It is likely, if not certain, that a cow was stolen and the thief hanging outside its jurisdiction, but this was not the primary cause of the fight.
Gerard again intervene in a conflict that will face to face, this time, the archbishop of Cologne, Siegfried of Westerburg and the Duke of Limburg, and soon after still intervene in the war of succession in Limburg ... ... he himself is on the list of potential heirs. Five years of fighting with one hand the Duke of Brabant and its allies, and the other, the archbishop of Cologne! The most famous battle of Woeringen mark the end of the slice of history of Limburg as it will be attached to Brabant. Gerard, who, as heir, occupied a significant place in this race, abandoned his claims and is on the side of John I, Duke of Brabant (Mathilde, his wife was related to the Duke of Brabant ...) especially since it promises on 20/10/1283 at Gerard de Durbuy, an annual income of 300 delivered to earth, and the latter renounces 01/24/1285 Limburg and transports its rights to Henry of Hesse, on behalf of the Duke of Brabant. In exchange it will receive nearly Jodoigne Melin, with all goods and courts thereto.
Henri of Luxembourg said Blondel from Syria in 1270, it will return the
06/27/1271. ... It does not say that the Gerard de Durbuy accompage ... ..
By cons, it certainly contributes to the crusade of Aragon from 1285 since we have two documents that attest to this.
No trace of his presence in the expedition to Aragon in 1276, which
campaign was a fiasco, or Bordeaux, in the Judgement of God in 1283, but that does not mean there was not.
" It is indeed very difficult to find participants in these battles because of the time and distance, some columnists are eager to undertake such a journey, and, secondly, columnists who are there do not differentiate between the Flemish, German, Hesbignon, Brabant, for them, John I, Duke of Brabant is a small local lord from the forces in place, King of England, King France, king of Castile, King of Aragon and papacy "
Information Sergio Boffa,
So, sometime later, Gerard de Durbuy accompanies John I Duke of Brabant in a trip to Aragon (see story this general ride) through 1166 books, 13 cents, 4 deniers tournaments, representing an advance on the total of 3,500 books promised. He agrees to accompany the King Philip III of France under the banner of John of Brabant, accompanied by four lords of his statements.
It is unlikely that accompanies Chéoux, since they are not dependent on its jurisdiction, but the lords of Laroche but not impossible either.
In fact, shipments Iberian lasted from 1276 to 1285. The first attempt, July-November 1276, was aborted because poorly prepared. Indeed, the army quickly runs out of food and withdrew without a fight.
The second expedition will end badly as well, (see this story) the Duke of Brabant narrowly escapes death, being achieved, as most men, the evil that decimated the survivors
Between these two expeditions, 1 June 1283 , took place on God's Judgement of Bordeaux. Peter III of Aragon seized power in Sicily. Philip III reacts directly and sent a contingent under the command of Pierre d'Alençon and Robert d'Artois to resolve the situation and prevent the grip Aragon. However, to avoid a general massacre, it was decided that only one hundred knights to fight on both sides, the winning party will return to Sicily. Besides
French knights, there are three Hesbaye and Brabant, Duke of Brabant will also present, along with ten of his men. So everyone gathered in Bordeaux. These were men of great fame and seemed giants, they were chosen for their strength. They are: William Maclair Hemricourt of the lord of Haneffe, Wautier of Momal, Franck bastard of Wezemael, son of Arnold II Wezemael, lord of Namur. No doubt they were themselves accompanied by horsemen and various servers.
But the battle Peter III refused and returned without firing a shot in Aragon.
John I of Brabant still increasing the property it sells Gerard, 200 pounds of Louvain to take on the recipe of Tienen and 06/05/1288 will be on the battlefields of Woeringen, Battle capital for the Duchy Brabant and taking possession of the Duchy of Limburg. This battle will be long
told by Jean Van Heelu, Teutonic Knight Commander of the Commandery Bekkevoort and an eyewitness who wrote the column at the request of the Duke of Brabant.
The authors believe that Gerard de Durbuy was not present, since he himself had rights to the succession Limburg, but it was not the enemy of the Duke of Brabant, on the contrary they seem got along very well ... ....
If Gerard is activated Durbuy Durbuy outside, it follows a policy of internal managers rather chaotic. Under the pretext of safeguarding and protection of timber and land belonging to the abbeys of the region, it causes much damage in these woods and tries to appropriate. Of Experts are appointed, it is in the wrong but he appropriates the woods, farms and other property belonging to the monastery of Val Saint Lambert. Liege and Cologne attempt to intervene and the case finally arrives in the hands of Pope Nicolas IV! A bubble 15/05/1292 appoint judges to resolve the conflict, they wait for Gerard to Reims. Only four years later that the case will be solved. Gerard de Durbuy recognizes his faults and good prince, will give the property to the abbey
... As if this was a natural, Gerard de Durbuy will also conflict with the bishop of Liege, John of Dampierre this time hitting the village of Straw, that the bishop had bought to Gerard, but it does not always gives him. A battle will take place even in 1280 at Mount St. Rahy. John I of Brabant should intervene, Gerard eventually will sell the village, but it will cost 800 pounds more tournaments to the bishop.
Gerard de Durbuy, although having yielded Borlon tithe to the collegiate chapter of Liege was rather against the clergy in general since it appears to succeed in taking possession of part of the woods this time belonging to Villers Abbey Nivelles.
It is true that the lordship of Durbuy, like many others no doubt, was surrounded by land estates, the most powerful lord, Gerard de Durbuy here, trying to gather under its thumb. It seems that Gerard will be succeeded as Durbuy, while being the smallest city in Europe, was freed early, known under the term " of Durbuy " and that the expansions are practically old its present territory.
Gerard Durbuy is also concerned with his subjects, he freed the city of Nassogne January 29, 1275, (it is thus that Durbuy was already at that date) it removes some chores and fees ... in fact, oddly enough, he introduces customs not unlike those that were created in 1097 in Bigorre.
In addition to caring for the welfare of communities dependent upon his lordship, Gerard de Durbuy appeared, it seems, generous to his land lords who paid him tribute, including, Jacques d'Orchimont, Gerard Hollenfels , Robert of Usdange, Kayl Simon, Guillaume de Mortagne. We have seen that
Chéoux-Rendeux not part of the land ... ..
addition to hands placed on the property of the clergy, Gerard de Durbuy lawfully acquires
property to Ocquier, Jenneret Arras Band Oneux and probably many others. He will exchange
Villance Transinne and delivered against a thousand of land in Hainault with Jean de Hainaut.
And now he decides to strike coins. If his land was freehold land, he had every right, however, he accepts, the 12/11/1298 to stop this traffic, and even remove the coins in circulation.
Gerard de Durbuy, they say, died before the year 1304 because this is when we see the first conflicts arise about its heritage, which must still be important.
So who is Gerard de Durbuy city in 1309? Failure to broadcast a first author writing in writing? We still do not know
at this stage, if Gerard was a son of Durbuy, if it's accompanied on his expeditions in Aragon and settled down there to give birth to a branch Chéoux whose descendants still bear the name to this day, but it seems that the little village in the Pyrenees Chéous already existed, as evidenced in 1256 by writing an abbey, then the hypothesis of a natural son of Gerard Chéoux Durbuy, moreover defector , collapses indeed.
* Summary of Gerard de Durbuy from the article by Nicolas Contor in the Quarterly Bulletin of "La Terre de Durbuy" based on evidence reported by Wampler, A. Leuze, John Ninane, F. Pirotte, Vannerus. Increased
, about the countryside to Aragon, notes the article by Sergio Boffa, on "Military Support of John I, Duke of Brabant Philip III King of France in the Iberian expeditions of 1276 and 1285" And
