Isabeau de Marigny , the treasurer's daughter, brought the rule of Dampierre to the Auxi family by marriage. His son and grandson were killed in the battle of Azincourt in 1415.

His grandson sold the Dampierre fief and mansion to Nicolas Bénard .
An entire fiefdom, called the fiefdom of Mar (i) gny , belonged to the castellany of Gournay and was transferred to the Fécamp family through the marriage of Alix de Marigny (sister of Isabeau) to Pierre de Fécamp .
