Guy de Roye (military)
Guy de Roye (* before 1430; † July 30, 1463 ) was a Burgundian soldier and confidante of Duke Philip the Good . He was lord of Roye , Le Plessis , Talmas and Guerbigny . Towards the end of his life he was accepted into the order of the Golden Fleece .
The military Guy de Roye is to be distinguished from the clergyman Guy de Roye († 1409), who u. a. from 1390 Archbishop of Reims was.
Life
Guy de Roye was the eldest son of Mathieu V. de Roye ( House of Roye ) and Marguerite de Ghistelles; his sister Isabelle was married to the knight Philippe de Ternant (1400-1456). In 1430 he was first attested in the Burgundian service, was referred to as a squire, but appeared at the siege of Compiègne as a captain under Jean de Luxembourg . Three years later he is one of the Burgundian commanders - still under Jean de Luxembourg - in Santerre and Laonnois . In 1435 he was appointed captain of Soissons , but lost the city to La Hire in 1436 - his violent reaction in the Soissonnois and Laonnois resurrected tensions between the Burgundians and the French.
After this event he is found in the service of Johann von Étampes , captain general of the Duke of Burgundy in Picardy . In 1438 he was the captain of Raoulet Castle near Montdidier on his behalf , and in 1442 he took part in a campaign against Pierre Renauld, a captain of the Écorcheurs who kept Milly Castle near Beauvais . In 1443 he was part of the Picardy contingent when Luxembourg was conquered.
In 1448 he married Jeanne de Mailly, the daughter of Ferry de Mailly, Seigneur de Talmas, and Marie de Breban. In 1449 he joined the Count of Saint-Pol when this knight and squire from the “Marches de Picardie” gathered around him to fight for the French king in Normandy against the English. After the conquest of Pont-Audemer , he is said to have been knighted.
In 1452 he fought against Ghent in Flanders in the service of the Duke of Burgundy, again under the command of Étampes. He is wounded in the fighting over the bridge of Spiere , but nevertheless takes part in the battle of Nevele .
After 25 years in the Burgundian service, Guy de Roye seems to have become a confidante of Duke Philip. In 1456 he was part of his entourage in Brussels, was named advisor and chamberlain to the Duke, was accepted into the Order of the Golden Fleece in the Chapter of Saint-Omer in 1461 , and finally appeared as one of the narrators in Philippe de Vigneulles' Cent nouvelles nouvelles (1462).
