Daughter - Countess Ermesinde de Luxembourg - Countess Ermesinde was born on 1186 and died on 13 FEB 1247
In 1186, Henri IV was an old man who expected to die without heirs. He had already named
Boudewijn V, Count of Hainaut (and later also of Flanders) as his successor. Then his
daughter Ermesinde was born. He made her his heir instead, and a war of succession broke
out. The outcome was that Ermesinde became Countess of Luxembourg, Durbuy and
Laroche, and Boudewijn V's second son Philipe became Count of Namur. Luxembourg and
Limburg were politically united again through Ermesinde's marriage to 'Duke Walram'.
After Walram's death, Countess Ermesinde ruled Luxembourg alone for another 20 years.
