Rainald II (Dammartin)

Rainald von Trie ( French : Renaud de Trie ; † 1316 ) was Lord of Trie (today Trie-Château and Trie-la-Ville ) and as Rainald II. Count of Dammartin . He was a son of Count Johann I and the Yolande von Dreux.

Like his father, Rainald took part in the Flanders War of King Philip IV the Fair . Both fought on July 11, 1302 in the Battle of the Golden Spurs near Courtrai , which Rainald survived while his father fell. On August 18, 1304, he fought in the victorious battle of Mons-en-Pévèle . In the course of this battle he killed Wilhelm von Jülich , in revenge for the death of his father in the Spore Battle two years earlier. Allegedly he cut off the head of the fleeing Wilhelm von Jülich with his sword.

Rainald was married to Philippa de Beaumont-en-Gâtinais. The couple had two sons:

• Rainald III. († 1327), 1272 Count of Dammartin;
• Johann III. († before 1358), 1327 Count of Dammartin.
