Johann von Lannoy
Johann III. Herr von Lannoy ( Dutch : Johan or Jan van Lannoy , French: Jehan or Jean de Lannoy ) (* April 27, 1410 , † March 18, 1493 ) was a member of the West Flemish nobility in the course of the 15th century performed various functions in the service of the Dukes of Burgundy .
Life
Johann came from the Flemish noble family Lannoy (French: Maison de Lannoy ). He spent the first twenty years of his career participating in various campaigns. In 1430 he took part in military conflicts with the Duchy of Liège , in 1436 in a campaign against the English, in 1440 against Lorraine and in 1447 against the Archbishop of Cologne. In 1448, he was finally appointed governor of Holland and Zeeland by Duke Philip the Good as the successor to Goswin de Wilde . Three years after his appointment as governor, he was accepted as a knight in the Order of the Golden Fleece in 1451 . Shortly afterwards, in 1452/53, he took part in the suppression of the Ghent uprising. He remained governor of Holland and Zeeland until 1462, and in 1459 he was also governor of a part of Flanders near Lille (Ryssel). His successor was Ludwig von Bruges (Lodewijk van Gruithuize). In 1468 there was great friction between Charles the Bold and Lannoy because of close contacts with the French royal court . In the end, he even had to flee. However, after a while he managed to resolve this conflict. In January 1477, however, Charles the Bold lost his life in the Battle of Nancy . When his heir Maria of Burgundy fell from his horse a few years later on March 27, 1482 in Wijnendale and also died as a result of the accident, Maximilian of Austria became the guardian of Maria's son Philipp for a time, ruling Burgundy. After Karl's death, Lannoy had risen to the position of Chamberlain of Maximilian and, because of his previous contacts with the French court, was involved in the negotiations that led to the Peace of Arras (1482) in 1482 . This contract caused the division of Burgundy between the contracting parties and thus effectively led to the end of the Dutch-Burgundian state. Although a few years later, in the Treaty of Senlis in 1493, both Artesia and the Free County of Burgundy were returned to the Habsburgs by the French king, but this did not change the division of Burgundy. Lannoy, who had been in the service of Burgundy all his life, died that very year.
