John II of Avesnes (1247-August 22, 1304) was the oldest son of John I of Avesnes and Adelaide of Holland.

History
John II was Count of Hainaut from 1280 to his death, succeeding his grandmother, Margaret II. John continued the war between the House of Dampierre and the House of Avesnes against count Guy of Flanders for imperial Flanders.

He became Count of Holland in 1299 with the death of John I, Count of Holland, through his mother Adelaide of Holland, heiress and regent of this county. His descendants maintained this personal union between the counties.

His nephew, Count Floris V, was fighting against Flanders for Zeeland. He sought help of France against Flanders. The French defeated the Flemish in 1300 and 1301. The rebels in Zeeland were defeated as well. John's brother, Guy of Avesnes, became Bishop of Utrecht. So all his main enemies were gone.

The tide changed dramatically after a Flemish uprising and the defeat of the French army at the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302. Flemish patriots attacked Hainaut and Zeeland supported by the dissatisfied population there. Guy of Namur defeated John's son, William, in a battle on the island of Duiveland. Bishop Guy of Utrecht was taken prisoner. Guy of Namur and Duke John II of Brabant conquered most of Utrecht, Holland, and Zeeland. Guy of Namur was finally defeated in 1304 by the fleet of Holland and France at the naval Battle of Zierikzee. John II regained most of his authority when he died in the same year.

Family
In 1270, John married Philippine of Luxemburg, daughter of Count Henry II of Luxemburg and Marguerite of Bar. Their children were:
- John, senior de Beaumont, Count of Ostervant (d. 11 July 1302).
- Henry, a canon in Cambrai, (d. 1303).
- Simon.

Jean d'Avesnes, né en 1248, mort à Valenciennes le 22 août 1304, fut comte de Hainaut (Jean Ier, 1280-1304), de Hollande et de Zélande (Jean II, 1299-1304). Il était fils de Jean d'Avesnes et d'Adélaïde de Hollande.

Âgé de neuf ans à la mort de son père, il est qualifié de damoisel de Hainaut ou d'héritier de Hainaut dans les quelques actes qui le citent. Insatisfait de la conclusion des guerres de Succession de Flandre et du Hainaut, il se préparait à prendre sa revanche sur les Dampierre en attendant d'hériter du Hainaut. Le 4 septembre 1272, il noue une alliance avec son cousin Florent V de Hollande. Le 29 mai 1275 il obtient le soutien de l'empereur Rodolphe Ier de Habsbourg et le 13 janvier 1277, ce dernier le confirme comme héritier de la Hollande si Florent meurt sans enfants.

A la mort de sa grand-mère paternelle, Marguerite II de Flandre comtesse de Flandre et de Hainaut, il hérite du comté de Hainaut, tandis que son oncle Gui de Dampierre hérite de la Flandre, conformément à l'arbitrage de 1246 rendu par Saint-Louis. La lutte s'engagea entre Jean d'Avesnes et Gui de Dampierre, jusqu'en 1287. La guerre n'avait pas modifié la situation des comtés.

Jean d'Avesnes entreprit d'acquérir des domaines et de les réunir à son comté et pressura ses vassaux pour en obtenir les ressources nécessaires. Ceux-ci se dédommagèrent sur les abbayes, et le comté fut frappé d'Interdit, prononcé par l'évêque de Cambrai Guillaume d'Avesnes. Il entra aussi en lutte avec les bourgeois de Valenciennes, qui réclamaient le maintien de leur privilèges. Ceux-ci se placèrent en 1290 sous la protection de Philippe IV le Bel et de Gui de Dampierre. Au bout de sept ans de guerre, le roi de France et le comte de Flandre se brouillèrent et Philippe le Bel se rapprocha de Jean d'Avesnes et lui reconnut la possession de Valenciennes, à qui le comte de Hainaut accorda son pardon.

Lorsque Florent V est assassiné, le 27 juillet 1296, c'est Jean Ier qui lui succède. Trop jeune pour gouverner, ce dernier est l'instrument des Anglais, ce qui déplaît aux Hollandais qui appellent Jean II d'Avesnes, cousin de Florent V, pour les débarrasser de cet « avorton impuissant et imbécile ». Le comte de Hainaut fait lever des troupes en Hainaut et se rend en Hollande. Jean Ier de Hollande meurt en novembre 1299. Jean d'Avesnes devient alors comte de Hollande, de Zélande et seigneur de Frise. Son premier geste sera de poursuivre les assassins de son cousin Florent : le seigneur Jean de Cuick, Jean seigneur de Heusden, Gijbert dit Amstel, Herman dit Woerden et Gérard de Velsen.

Après de multiples problèmes causés par une partie de la noblesse de Zélande excitée par le comte de Flandre, Jean de Renesse, chef de cette coalition est battu par Jean, comte d'Ostrevant, fils de Jean d'Avesnes surnommé « Jean Sans Merci » qui prend le gouvernement de la Zélande alors que son frère Guillaume d'Avesnes gouverne la Hollande.

Jean Ier fut le premier à porter ces armes, qui devinrent celles du Hainaut. Elles combinent les armes du comté de Flandre, que revendiquait son père, et celles du comté de Hollande, qu'il conquit.

John II of Avesnes (1247 – August 22, 1304) was the oldest son of John I of Avesnes and Adelaide of Holland.

He was was count of Hainaut from 1280 to his death, succeeding his grandmother, Margaret II. John continued the war between the house of Dampierre and the house of Avesnes against count Guy of Flanders for imperial Flanders.

He became Count of Holland in 1299 with the death of John I, Count of Holland, through his mother Adelaide of Holland, heiress and regent of this county. His descendants maintained this personal union between the counties.

His nephew, count Floris V, was fighting against Flanders for Zeeland. He sought help of France against Flanders. The French defeated the Flemish in 1300 and 1301. The rebels in Zeeland were defeated as well. John's brother, Guy of Avesnes, became bishop of Utrecht. So all his main enemies were gone.

The tide changed dramatically after a Flemish uprising and the defeat of the French army at the battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302. Flemish patriots attacked Hainaut and Zeeland supported by the dissatisfied population there. Guy of Namur defeated Johns son, William, in a battle on the island of Duiveland. Bishop Guy of Utrecht was taken prisoner. Guy of Namur and duke John II of Brabant conquered most of Utrecht, Holland and Zeeland. Guy of Namur was finally defeated in 1304 by the fleet of Holland and France at the naval battle of Zierikzee. John II regained most of his authority when he died in the same year.

BIOGRAPHY
Son of Jan I d'Avesnes, Count of Hainault and Aleida of Holland, Jan II was born about 1247. About 1270 he married Philippine of Luxembourg ( -1311) and they had nine children. He also fathered five illegitimate children.

In 1280 he succeeded his father as count of Hainault. Long a friend of Philippe IV, king of France, Jan influenced his cousin Count Floris V of Holland to end his long friendly relations with Edward I of England and make an alliance with France, an action that was violently opposed by several Dutch nobles, who seized and murdered Floris.

Jan was then named governor of Holland and guardian of the 15-year-old son of Floris, after whose death in 1299 he became count of Holland as Jan II. Though the people of Holland accepted his leadership, he had to ward off a challenge by Albrecht I of Germany, subdue a rebellion in Zeeland, and fight the army of the Dampierres for two years before driving the Flemish from Holland and Zeeland in 1304. Jan died in September 1304.
