Gaucher IV de Châtillon, in German Walter IV, (died c. 1261/65) was Lord of Châtillon, Crécy, Crèvecœur and Troissy from the House of Châtillon.

Biography

He was the third-born son of Hugh I of Châtillon (d. 1248), Count of Saint-Pol and Lord of Châtillon, and Mary, Countess of Blois. His older brothers were Count John I of Blois (d. 1279) and Count Guy III, Count of Saint-Pol (d. 1289). As a later-born son, he received some subordinate castle and manorial dominions in the inheritance decreed by his father in 1246, including the family seat in Châtillon-sur-Marne. He is last documented in December 1260, when he and his wife made a donation to the nuns of Notre-Dame du Pont. His wife confirmed a donation made by him (Gavchier de Chastillon Sires de Crecy) to the same religious institution in February 1265. Apparently, Gaucher IV had already died by this time.[1]

Family

Gaucher IV was married by 1258 at the latest to Isabelle von Lezinnes (d. after 1265) from the Villehardouin family, a great-granddaughter of the chronicler Geoffrey of Villehardouin. Their children were:

  • Gaucher V of Châtillon (d. 1329), Lord of Châtillon etc., from 1303 Count of Porcéan, Constable of France.
  • Guido of Châtillon (d. c. 1281/86).
  • Mary of Châtillon (d. after 1296); married to Milon IX de Noyers (d. 1291), Lord of Noyers.
