Biography

Enguerrand was the son of Raoul de Coucy and Alix de Dreux[1]

Research Notes

Wikipedia: He married three times. His first wife was Eustacia [or Béatice de Vignory, widow of Jean I, Count of Roucy], his second Matilda (or Richenza) of Saxony(1172-1208/09), the granddaughter of Henry II, Duke of Saxony and niece of Richard the Lion-Hearted, and the third Marie de Montmiraill. Enguerrand cemented his powerful connections by marrying his daughter Marie de Coucy to King Alexander II of Scotland. He died falling off his horse onto his sword in a series of battles before the Battle of Crecy.
