Baudouin de Bourgogne, Sire de Falais
(1445 - May 1508)
Baudouin was born at Rijssel in 1445, the son of Philippe 'the Good', duc de Bourgogne and a mistress Catharina de Tiesferies. Sometimes referred to as Baudouin of Lille, reflecting the city where his mother lived, he was one of many illegitimate children of Philippe, conservatively estimated at six boys and five girls, but by some estimates running much higher. About 1488 Baudouin married Marie Manuel de La Cerda, daughter of Juan Manuel de La Cerda, sire de Belmonte, and Jeanne de Figueroa. They had six children of whom Charles and Marguerite Madeleine would have progeny. Baudouin had at least three other children by mistresses.
Baudouin's daughter Marguerite Madeleine married Philippe de Lannoy, seigneur de Molembais, grandson of Baudouin de Lannoy 'the Stammerer', seigneur de Molembais, governor of Walloon Flanders. Baudouin was governor of Lille, and Burgundian ambassador to Spain. He fought beside his half-brother Charles 'the Bold', duc de Bourgogne, at the disastrous siege of Nancy where Charles lost his life and Baudouin was taken prisoner, like his half-brother Antoine, 'le Grand bâtard' de Bourgogne, another of Philippe's natural sons. Baudouin was later ransomed.
In 1501 Emperor Maximilian gave Baudouin possession of Falais, a manor of Brabant, situated on the borders of the county of Namur by the river Mohaine, between the towns of Huy and Henneguy. He was also Baron de Bagnuolo, and lord of Bredam, Sommerdick and Manilly. Baudouin died in May 1508 in Brussels.
