Who was Guy I of Luxembourg, Count of Ligny?
Guy I of Luxembourg-Ligny was Count of Saint-Pol and Count of Ligny, Lord of Roussy and Beauvoir.
He was the son of John I and Alix of Dampierre, dame de Richebourg.
Guy participated in the lost Battle of Baesweiler, a conflict between his relative Wenceslaus I of Luxembourg, husband of the Duchess of Brabant on the one side, and William II, Duke of Jülich and Edward, Duke of Guelders on the other side.
The chroniqueur Jan van Boendale writes in his Brabantsche Yeesten that Guy lay wounded and abandoned on the battlefield, until he was discovered by a scavenger the next day, who killed and robbed him. When this plunderer tried later to sell his booty, he was hanged.
