4. | John I The Victorious Duke Of BRABANT (1.Alice1) was born in 1252/3; died on 03 May 1294 in Leuven; was buried in The Church of the Minderbroeders in Leuven. Notes:
John I van Brabant, also called John I the Victorious (Leuven 1252/1253 ? May 3, 1294 in Leuven) was Duke of Brabant (1267?1294), Lothier and Limburg (1288?1294).
He was the son of Henry III, Duke of Brabant and Aleidis of Burgundy, daughter of Hugh IV, Duke of Burgundy. He was also an older brother of Maria of Brabant, Queen consort of Philip III of France.
In 1267 his older brother Henry IV, Duke of Brabant, being mentally deficient, was deposed in his favour. His greatest military victory was the Battle of Woeringen, by which John I came to reign over the Duchy of Limburg. In 1288 Limburg was formally attached to Brabant.
John I is said to be a perfect model of a feudal prince in the days of chivalry: brave, adventurous, excelling in every form of active exercise, fond of display, generous in temper. This made him very popular in Middle Ages poetry and literature. Even today there exists an ode to him, so well-known that it was a potential candidate to be the North Brabant anthem. Jan delighted in tournaments and was always eager to take part in jousts. He was also famous for his many illegitimate children.
On May 3, 1294 at some marriage festivities at Bar-le-Duc (now France), John I was mortally wounded in the arm in an encounter. He was buried in the church of the Minderbroeders in Leuven, but since the Protestant iconoclasm (Beeldenstorm) in 1566, nothing remains of his tomb.
John married Margaret Princess Of FRANCE on 05 Sep 1270. Margaret (daughter of Louis IX and Margaret Of PROVENCE) was born in 1254 in Paris, France; died in 1271; was buried in St Denis, Isle De France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
John married Margaret Of FLANDERS in 1273. Margaret (daughter of Guy De Dampierre Count Of FLANDERS and Isabelle Of LUXEMBOURG) was born about 1253; died on 03 Jul 1285. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
