  • Notes 
    • John II van Brabant (September 27, 1275 – October 27, 1312, Tervuren), also called John the Peaceful, was Duke of Brabant, Lothier and Limburg (1294–1312). He was the son of John I of Brabant and Margaretha of Flanders, daughter of Guy of Dampierre.

      John II succeeded his father in 1294 [1] During the reign of John II, Brabant continued supporting a coalition to stop French expansion. He tried to conquer South Holland (district of medieval Holland) from the pro-French count John II of Holland, but was not successful. John, who suffered from kidney stones and wanted his duchy to be peacefully handed over to his son upon his death, in 1312 signed the famous Charter of Kortenberg.

      After his death in 1312 [2] John II was buried in the St. Michael and Gudula Cathedral in Brussels.

      Family[edit]

      On July 8, 1290, John married Margaret Plantagenet in Westminster Abbey, London.[3][4][5][6] She was a daughter of King Edward I of England and his first Queen consort Eleanor of Castile. Only one child was born out of this marriage:
      John III, Duke of Brabant.[7]

      John II had several illegitimate children:
      Jan van Corsselaer, was later named Lord of Witthem, Wailwilre, Machelen, la Rochette and Colonster.[8]
      Jan van Wyvliet. Lord of Blaesveld and Kuyc. Married to Margaret Pipenpoy.[9]
      Jan Cordeken. Emperor Ludwig later legitimized Jan Cordeken, Lord of Glymes and the charter dated to 27 August 1344 lists John II as the father and Elisabeth Gortygin as his mother.[10]
      Jan Magermann. Married to Adelise d'Elsies.


      Jean II de Brabant, dit le Pacifique, né le 27 septembre 1275, mort à Tervuren le 27 octobre 1312, fut duc de Brabant et de Limbourg de 1294 à 1312. Il était fils de Jean Ier, duc de Brabant et de Limbourg, et de Marguerite de Dampierre

      Biographie

      Gros tournois au Châtel de Jean II de Brabant

      Il fut fiancé à Marguerite d'Angleterre dès 1277 et l'épousa quand il eut quinze ans. Il succéda à son père en 1294, mais dut faire face à des révoltes, dont il se rendit maître avec l'aide de son oncle Godefroy d'Aerschot. Il prit part ensuite à une ligue avec le roi d'Angleterre et Guy de Dampierre, comte de Flandre et d'autres seigneurs contre Philippe IV le Bel, roi de France. Des retards empêchèrent l'offensive, et la ligue se disloqua en 1300. Il s'imposa cependant dans la région qui devait devenir la Belgique et combattit l'empereur Albert de Habsbourg qui cherchait à raffermir son autorité dans la région, mais dut se soumettre. En 1303, il combattit le comte Jean II de Hollande pour s'étendre vers l'embouchure de l'Escaut, mais essuya un échec.

      Atteint de gravelle, il signa sur son lit de mort la Charte de Cortenberg qui tiendra lieu de constitution du duché de Brabant et mourut en 1312.

      Mariages et enfants

      Il avait épousé à l'abbaye de Westminster le 9 juillet 1290 Marguerite d'Angleterre (1255-1333), fille d'Édouard Ier, roi d'Angleterre et d'Éléonore de Castille. Ils eurent :

      Jean III (1300 † 1355), duc de Brabant et de Limbourg
      Il laissa également plusieurs fils illégitimes dont :

      Jean de Corsselaer ( † après le 19 mai 1373), seigneur de Wittem (1344), seigneur de Wailwilre et de Machelen, dont postérité ;
      Jean Cordeken ou de Cordekeim ( † avant 1361), seigneur de Glymes, auteur de la maison de Glymes.
