Seniors, Earls and Dukes of Guise

Non-hereditary lords

The counts of Valois appointed the Chatelain of the castle of Guise, without the right to transfer to the heir. Among the marquees are known:

• at 1010 : Rene
• in 1048 : Bouchard
• in 1058 : Gauthier I de Guise . This Gauthier was the first lord de Guise to transfer ownership to his descendants. It is also known that Gauthier de Vexin, son of Raul III de Vexin , Count of Valois, also received the lord de Guise from his brother Raul IV de Crepe . From this we can conclude that Gauthier I de Guise and Gauthier de Vexin, apparently, are one and the same person.
