Enguerrand de Bournonville
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Enguerrand de Bournonville (c. 1368 – 26 May 1414) was a general for John I of Burgundy during the Armagnac-Burgundian Civil War. He belonged to the Bournonville family, descended from the lords of the Boulonnais and many other generals. A younger brother of Aleaume de Bournonville, he owned many minor lordships.
First entering the court of Philip II of Burgundy then that of John I as a mere squire, Enguerrand de Bournonville fought in Italy, Pisa and Genoa, in the Pays de Liège, playing a decisive part in the Battle of Othée as well as in the Île-de-France, the Berry and Picardy. He rose to become a major general, often leading more than a hundred men, including members of his family such as his cousin Lyonnel de Bournonville.
John I frequently made financial rewards to Enguerrand and – combined with his booty – this raised him a substantial fortune. He was captain of Soissons during Charles VI's siege of that city, in which the bastard of Bourbon was killed by a crossbow bolt. After the city was captured, Enguerrand de Bournonville was betrayed by Simon de Craon and executed on the king's orders.
One chronicler called him "the flower of all the captains of France" and the Burgundian camp preserved his memory. A tomb found in the town church in Marle, Aisne in the 19th century was initially thought to have been his but actually turned out to be that of his son Antoine de Bournonville.
