Notes: Enguerrand VI is the last of a noble race, the Sires of Coucy, and is undoubtedly the most 'eligible' bachelor in all France. The earliest known member of the family was Eudes, granted the fief in the 10th century by its overlord the Archbishop of Reims. The family is noted for famous feats of arms. During the First Crusade, a Coucy was a member of a band of six knights who, although ambushed by greatly superior numbers of the Infidel, managed to cut their way out, inflicting a severe defeat upon the foe, a feat from which they derive their arms. They are a proud house, and have often defended their rights even against the king, relying upon God's justice, their skill at arms, and their marvelous keep, the greatest in France. Of them it is said,
         "Neither king, nor prince
         Nor duc nor count am I
         I am the Lord of Coucy. "
