Brimeu

Marie von Brimeu-Chimay

Brimeu was a family of the lower Picardy and later the Dutch nobility, attested since the middle of the 12th century. It gained its importance in the great power phase of the Burgundian state and in the first century of Habsburg rule in the Netherlands, which is expressed above all in the large number of members in the Order of the Golden Fleece . In 1470 Guy de Brimeu was named Count of Megen .
