Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Princes of Achaia and the Chronicles of the Morea, Vol. 2 of 2: A Study of Greece in the Middle Ages Towards the end of the year 1287 there appeared at the court of Naples a cadet of the great Flemish house of Avesnes, which was already well known in Romania as having lent one of its strongest arms to the conquering host of Bonifazio of Montferrat. Florent d´Avesnes or, as he is more generally called, Florence of Hainault, lord of Braine-le-Comte and Hall, the last of five brothers of the reigning Count of Hainault, was tempted by the glamour of the east which had offered a fortune and even sometimes a throne to many of the younger sons of the west. Naples, where the war between Anjou and Aragon still afforded opportunities for military distinction, appeared to be the stepping-stone to that land of promise. Before starting in quest of adventure he set his affairs in order, founded a chapel to be maintained in perpetuity in his house at Estruen, and signed a deed acknowledging that he had received from his brother the fiefs of Braine and Hall, which were to revert to the county of Hainault in the event of his dying without heirs.
