Isabella de Beaumont
Isabella de Beaumont( died 1334), was a prominent noblewoman allied to Isabella of France during the reign of Edward II of England.
Isabella, Countess of Bedford
Isabella of England (16 June 1332 –) was the eldest daughter of King Edward III of England and Philippa of Hainault, and the wife of Enguerrand de Coucy, Earl of Bedford, by whom she had two daughters.
She was made a Lady of the Garter in 1376.
Aubrey de Coucy
Aubrey de Coucy( a.k.a. Alberic) was the earl of Northumbria from 1080 until about 1086.
Aubrey de Coucy was a Norman from Coucy- le- Château- Auffrique, Aisne which was the inheritance of his wife, Ada, daughter of Letétard de Marle( himself a son of Count Ivo de Beaumont- sur- Oise).
In 1080, William Walcher, bishop of Durham and earl of Northumbria, was murdered during a feud between his household knights and the old Northumbrian aristocracy.
William the Conqueror then gave the earldom to Aubrey, a Norman baron from Coucy with large possessions in the midlands.
However, de Coucy soon resigned, probably shortly after a threat of Danish invasion in 1085.
He is listed as a tenant in the Domesday Book, but the notices suggest that he had recently forfeited his English possessions.
According to the chronicler Symeon of Durham, de Coucy," being of very little use in difficult affairs, returned to his country"; Robert de Mowbray was then given the earldom.
When King William was dying at Rouen in 1087, he decided that his eldest son, Robert Curthose, would be allowed to succeed in Normandy, but not in England, and de Coucy was sent to tell Robert the news.
De Coucy died at his castle of Coucy.
His sister Ermengarde had warned him of a plot to kill him by an Engeran who, according to the" Vita Sancti Arnulfi"( AASS Aug. 11, p. 240), subsequently became his widow's second husband.
Le Chastelain de Couci
Le Chastelain de Couci( modern orthography Le Châtelain de Coucy) was a French trouvère of the 12th century.
He may have been the Guy de Couci who was castellan of Château de Coucy from 1186 to 1203.
Some twenty- six songs, written in langue d'oïl are attributed to him, and about fifteen or sixteen are considered authentic.
They are modelled very closely on Provençal originals, but are saved from the category of mere imitations by a grace and simplicity peculiar to the author.
The legend of the love of the Châtelain de Coucy and the Lady of Fayel, in which there figures a jealous husband who makes his wife eat the heart of her lover, has no historical basis, and dates from a late 13th century romance by Jakemon Sakesep.
The story, which seems to be Breton in origin, has been also told of a Provençal troubadour, Guilhem de Cabestaing, and of the minnesinger Reinmar von Brennenberg.
Pierre de Belloy, who wrote some account of the family of Couci, made the story the subject of his tragedy" Gabrielle de Vergy".
Philippa of Hainault
Philippa of Hainault (Middle French: "Philippe de Hainaut"; 24 June c.1310/15 – 15 August 1369) was Queen of England as the wife of King Edward III.
Edward promised in 1326 to marry her within the following two years.
She was married to Edward, first by proxy, when Edward dispatched the Bishop of Coventry "to marry her in his name" in Valenciennes (second city in importance of the county of Hainaut) in October 1327.
The marriage was celebrated formally in York Minster on 24 January 1328, some months after Edward's accession to the throne of England.
In August 1328, he also fixed his wife's dower.
Philippa acted as regent in 1346, when her husband was away from his kingdom, and she often accompanied him on his expeditions to Scotland, France, and Flanders.
Philippa won much popularity with the English people for her kindness and compassion, which were demonstrated in 1347 when she successfully persuaded King Edward to spare the lives of the Burghers of Calais.
This popularity helped maintain peace in England throughout Edward's long reign.
The eldest of her thirteen children was Edward, the Black Prince, who became a renowned military leader.
Philippa died at the age of fifty-six from an illness closely related to edema.
The Queen's College, Oxford was founded in her honour.

Robert De Coucy
Robert De Coucy or Courcy, born Reims( or Coucy, according to some authorities; died Reims in 1311) was a medieval French master- builder and son of a master- builder of the same name.
In 1263 he was appointed successor to Hugues Libergier as director of the work of building the church of Saint- Nicaise in Reims, and between this date and 1279 he constructed the choir chapels, and part of the transept; the church was afterwards destroyed during the French Revolution.
Some illustrations of this building, begun in 1229 and considered one of the best Gothic churches of the period in France, have been preserved; a nearly contemporary chronicle of the Abbey of Saint- Nicaise says that, Hugo Libergiers pronaon ecclesiæ perfecit.
Robert de Coucy caput ecclesiæ construxit.
After the death of his father, Robert de Coucy had also chief charge of the work on the cathedral of Notre- Dame de Reims, which was rebuilt after its destruction by fire in 1211.
The new cathedral was begun in 1211, and the choir, constructed by Robert de Coucy the elder, was completed in 1241; The cathedral was built on a simple plan of a vast choir, no transepts, and a rather narrow nave.
Viollet- le- Duc says:" This building has all the strength of the cathedral of Chartres without its heaviness; in short it combines the essential requirements of artistic beauty, power and grace; it is, besides, built of fine materials cunningly put together, and there is found in all its parts a painstaking care and a skill very rare at a period when men built with great rapidity and often with inadequate resources".
In a labyrinth, or representation of a maze, which formerly existed in the pavement of the nave of the cathedral were effigies of the architects of the edifice from its foundation up to 1382; among these effigies, according to tradition, were those of the two Robert de Coucys, father and son.
In the cloister of the Abbey of Saint- Denis at Reims, Andre Félibien noted the gravestone of Robert de Coucy," Maistre de Notre- Daine et de Saint- Nicaise, qui trépassa en l'an 1311".
