Bouchard IV. De Montmorency

Bouchard IV. (German: Burkhard ; † 1189 before Akkon ) was a lord of Montmorency , Écouen , Conflans-Sainte-Honorine and Attichy from the house of Montmorency . He was a son of Mathieu I de Montmorency , Connétable of France, and Alix, an illegitimate daughter of King Henry I of England .

He was married to Laurette († August 9, 1181), a daughter of Count Baldwin IV of Hainaut . Her niece Isabella married King Philip II August of France in 1180 , whereby the Montmorency gained connection to the royal court. Together with his younger brothers Thibaud and Mathieu , Bouchard took part in the third crusade , on which he and Thibaud died in the siege of Acre .

Bouchard IV had at least three children:

Mathieu II the Great († 1230), Lord of Montmorency etc., Connétable of France
Eva (†?)
Alix († February 25, 1221), ∞ with Simon de Montfort, 5th Earl of Leicester († 1218)

The knight Joscelin de Montmorency, who also died on the Third Crusade in 1190, was possibly also a son of Bouchard.
