to the future king, Louis XII. It was not until the age of 83 that he reconciled himself with Charles the Bold and was allowed to reclaim his properties in Burgundy. He died either in 1475 or 1477 and was interred in Porcien. Agnes de Croÿ was his sister and the mistress of John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy (the grandfather of Charles the Bold), by whom she had an illegitimate son, John of Burgundy, who became the Bishop of Cambrai and the Archbishop of Trier. Several noble families of Belgium and the Netherlands are descended from the eleven illegitimate children of this prelate. The lines of Croÿ-Arschot-Havré and Croÿ-Roeulx stem from Antoine's two sons, Philippe I and Jean III, while his younger brother, Jean II de Croÿ, was the progenitor of the only extant line of the family, that of Croÿ-Solre. All three lines demonstrate a complex pattern of intermarriage, so that estates and titles would stay within the family as long as possible. Marriage and children Antoine de Croÿ married firstly in 1410, Marie Jeanne de Roubaix (1390–1430). Antoine remarried in 1432, Marguerite of Lorraine-Vaudémont, Dame d'Aarschot (1420–1477), daughter of Antoine of Lorraine, Count of Vaudémont and Marie of Harcourt, and had six children by her: Philip I de Croÿ (c.1433–1511), his successor. Jeanne de Croÿ (1435–1504), married Louis I, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken. Jean III de Croÿ (1436–1505), progenitor of the line of Croÿ-Roeulx. Marie de Croÿ (c.1440–1489), who married Wilhelm II von Heinsberg, Graf of Blankenheim (1441-1469). Jacqueline de Croÿ (c.1445–1486), who married Jean IV de Ligne, Baron de Ligne (d. 1491).
