Beatrice d'Avesnes [SEP] father
Beatrice d'Avesnes
Beatrice d'Avesnes (died: 1321) was a daughter of Baldwin of Avesnes and his wife Felicitas of Coucy. Baldwin was the son of Bouchard IV of Avesnes.
She married in 1265 Count Henry VI of Luxembourg and was the mother of:
- Henry VII (1274–1313), Count of Luxemburg, King of the Romans in 1308 and Emperor in 1312.
- Walram (d. 1311), Lord of Dourlers, Thirimont en Consorre
- Felicitas (d. 1336), married in 1298 John
son and heir of King Robert of Naples, and also planned to marry again (his wife was already died in 1311) with Catherine of Habsburg. Beatrice was called by her father to Italy, where she arrived with her paternal grandmother, Beatrice d'Avesnes. The marriage plans with the Duke of Calabria failed, and the Emperor began negotiations for a marriage with Prince Peter of Sicily, eldest son and heir of King Frederick III; however, the current political conflicts between the Holy Roman Empire and the Kingdom of Sicily soon ended
