[Wikipedia, "John I of Avesnes", retrieved 22 Dec 07]
John I of Avesnes (May 1, 1218-December 24, 1257) was the count of Hainaut from 1246 to his death. Born in Houffalize, he was the eldest son of Margaret II of Flanders by her first husband, Bouchard IV of Avesnes. As the marriage of Margaret and Bouchard was papally dissolved, he was considered illegitimate.

His mother remarried to William II of Dampierre and bore more children who could claim her inheritance. Thus, John and his brother Baldwin undertook to receive imperial recognition of their legitimacy and did so from the Emperor Frederick II in March 1243. On 5 December 1244, Margaret inherited Flanders and Hainaut and designated her eldest son by her second husband, William III of Dampierre, as her heir. Immediately a war, called the War of the Succession of Flanders and Hainault, was set off over the rights of inheritance, pitting John against William.

After two years of fighting, in 1246, Louis IX of France intervened to settle the conflict. He granted Hainaut to John and Flanders to William. Nonetheless, conflict was reopened. In 1250, Margaret was forced to give over the government of Hainaut to John. On 6 June 1251, William was assassinated and it was shown that the Avesnes had financed the crime. On 4 July 1253, John defeated the armies of Margaret and her second Dampierre son, Guy, at the Battle of West-Capelle. Guy was imprisoned and Margaret agreed to sell her rights to Hainaut to Charles of Anjou if he would reconquer it from John. John's brother-in-law William II, Count of Holland, the elected rex Romanorum, was convinced to grant Hainaut (an imperial fief) and those Flemish lands within the Empire to John. Charles was defeated and King Louis, returning from the Seventh Crusade, ordered his brother to abide by his arbitration of 1246. On 22 November 1257, Guy finally relinquished Hainaut, but John died on Christmas Eve in Valenciennes.

Family and children
He married Adelaide of Holland in 1246 and had the following issue:
- John II, Count of Hainaut and Holland (1247-1304)
- Joanna, Abbess of Flines (died 1304)
- Bouchard, Bishop of Metz (1251-1296)
- Guy, Bishop of Utrecht (1253-1317)
- William, Bishop of Cambrai (1254-1296)
- Floris, stadholder of Zeeland and Prince of Achaea

[huntingdonhenry_descendents10_fromrootsweb_bartont.FTW]

Count of Holland; m. ADELAIDE OF HOLLAND (100-29). Weis 168-31.

In 1236 the pope declared him to be illegitimate as his father had been a priest; but in 1242 he was legitimised by Emperor Friedrich II. He became heir, regent and later on Count of Hainault but failed to be recognised in Flanders.

===Biography

From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_I,_Count_of_Hainaut

Jan was born in Houffalize on 1 May 1218, the son of Bouchard d'Avesnes and Margarethe, countess of Flanders and Hainault, the daughter of Baudouin VI-IX, count of Flanders, emperor of Constantinople. As the marriage of Margarethe and Bouchard was dissolved by the pope in 1221, he and his younger brother Baudouin were considered illegitimate (an elder brother Baudouin had died in infancy).

In 1223 Jan's mother married Guillaume de Dampierre and bore more children who could claim her inheritance. Thus Jan and his brother Baudouin undertook to receive imperial recognition of their legitimacy and did so from Emperor Friedrich II in March 1243. On 5 December 1244 Margarethe inherited Flanders and Hainault and designated her eldest son by her second husband, Guillaume III de Dampierre, as her heir. Immediately a war, called the War of the Succession of Flanders and Hainault, started over the rights of inheritance, pitting Jan against Guillaume.

After two years of fighting, in 1246 Louis IX of France intervened to settle the conflict. He granted Hainault to Jan and Flanders to Guillaume. Nonetheless, conflict was reopened. Meanwhile, in September 1246 Jan married Aleida of Holland, daughter of Floris IV, count of Holland and Machteld of Brabant, and sister of Willem II, count of Holland. Jan and Aleida had seven children, of whom four sons had progeny: Jan II, Bouchard, Guy and Floris.

In 1250 Margarethe was forced to give over the government of Hainault to Jan. On 6 June 1251 Guillaume de Dampierre was assassinated at a joust and it was claimed that the Avesnes brothers had financed the crime. On 4 July 1253 Jan defeated the armies of his mother Margarethe and her second Dampierre son Guy at the battle of West-Capelle. Guy was imprisoned and Margarethe agreed to sell her rights to Hainault to Charles I Etienne, brother of Louis IX, if he would reconquer it from Jan. Jan's brother-in-law Willem II, count of Holland, the emperor-elect, was convinced to grant Hainault (an imperial fief) and those Flemish lands within the empire to Jan. Charles was defeated, and under the terms of the Treaty of Péronne of 1256 King Louis, returning from the Seventh Crusade, ordered his brother to abide by his arbitration of 1246. On 22 November 1257 Guy de Dampierre finally relinquished his claim to Hainault, but Jan died on Christmas Eve 1257 in Valenciennes. He was succeeded by his son Jan II.
