Marquis Of Namur
The County of Namur () was a county of the Holy Roman Empire with its military and administrative capital at the town of Namur (city), Namur, at the merging of the Sambre and Meuse rivers in what is now Wallonia, French-speaking Belgium. Under this name it existed from about 990 until about 1790. Like most of what is now Belgium, during the 15th century the County of Namur became part of the Burgundian Netherlands, which subsequently became a possession of the Kings of Spain, and later of Austria. Like its neighbours, the county ceased to exist during the French Revolution, when the entire region was conquered by the revolutionary French Republic. The modern Belgian provinces, Belgian province of Namur (province), Namur is larger than the old county. The boundaries of the province are based upon those of the French Departments of France, départment of Sambre-et-Meuse, and stretch further eastwards and southwards.

Guy Of Dampierre
Guy of Dampierre (; ) ( – 7 March 1305, Compiègne) was the Count of Flanders (1251–1305) and Marquis of Namur (1264–1305). He was a prisoner of the French when his Flemings defeated the latter at the Battle of the Golden Spurs in 1302. Life Guy was the second son of William II of Dampierre and Margaret II of Flanders. The death of his elder brother William in a tournament made him joint Count of Flanders with his mother. (She had made William co-ruler of Flanders in 1246 to ensure that it would go to the Dampierre children of her second marriage, rather than the Avesnes children of her first.) Guy and his mother struggled against the Avesnes (led by John I, Count of Hainaut) in the War of the Succession of Flanders and Hainault, but were defeated in 1253 at the Battle of Walcheren, and Guy was taken prisoner. By the mediation of Louis IX of France, he was ransomed in 1256. Some respite was obtained by the death of John of Hainaut in 1257. In 1270, Margaret confisc ...

Henry IV, Count Of Luxembourg
Henry the Blind ( – 14 August 1196; French ''Henri l'Aveugle'', Dutch ''Hendrik de Blinde''), sometimes called Henry IV of Luxembourg, was his father's heir as Count of Namur from 1139 until his abdication in 1189, and heir of his mother's family as Count of Luxembourg from 1136 until his death. He also inherited the smaller lordships of Longwy, La Roche-en-Ardenne and Durbuy. Henry is an important figure in the history of the southern Netherlands and the modern countries of Belgium and Luxembourg. He is especially important to the history of the county of Namur, where he was the last member of the first line of counts, and the most powerful of them. His important inheritances were divided again after his death, bringing Namur and Luxembourg to different families. His daughter, who was born when he was old, kept Luxembourg and the smaller Ardennes lordships, while descendants of his sister Alice, who were also counts of Flanders and Hainaut, added possession of Namur to their do ...

In contempt of this, Henry paid homage in 1256 to King Theobald II of Navarre in the latter's capacity as Count of Champagne.
