Baudot de Noyelles-Wion († 1461 ), Seigneur de Noyelles, Catheux et de Tilloloy , was a Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece from 1433 .

He was the son of Jean de Noyelles-Wion, called le Blanc Chevalier , and Marie de Rosimbos. His wife was Marie de Hangest, daughter of Miles de Hangest and Louise de Craon.

He was Burgundian governor of the Bailiots ( prévôtés ) Péronne , Roye and Montdidier , deputy of the Duke of Burgundy as lieutenant general (Lieutenant général) in the Picardy border region (Marches de Picardie ).

On May 23, 1430 he was with his subordinate soldiers near Compiègne at an isolated post on the road to Margny , half an hour from the city. The group was surprised in the late afternoon by Joan of Arc and her men who had left Compiègne and a fight broke out. The action was observed from Margny by Johann von Luxemburg , who in turn immediately set his soldiers on the march and in turn went over to the attack. When the English garrison of Venette cut off the royal troops' retreat to Compiègne, they panicked and fled. Joan of Arc was arrested by the Burgundians.

Baudot de Noyelles was inducted into the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1433.
