Ivo (Soissons)
Ivo the Old (French: Yves le Vieux ; † August 1178 ) was a Count of Soissons from the House of Nesle .
He was the eldest son of the lord of the castle Raoul I of Nesle in Picardy , whom he inherited from Nesle (Ivo II). The related Count Rainald III. von Soissons decided to become a monk in 1141 and gave him the county of Soissons. In 1146 Ivo took the cross for the second crusade in Vézelay together with King Ludwig VII and other French greats . In June 1148 he was a member of the Crusade Council in Acre .
Ivo was married to Yolande, a daughter of Count Baldwin IV of Hainaut . Because they had no children, his nephew Conon inherited him in Soissons. Ivo died in August 1178.
