<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Enguerrand II, [[Lord of Coucy]]''', known as of [[La Fère]] or of [[Marle, Aisne|Marle]], was a French nobleman. He was also lord of Marle, La Fère, [[Crécy-sur-Serre|Crécy]] (sur-Serre), [[Vervins]], [[Pinon, Aisne|Pinon]], [[Landouzy-la-Ville|Landouzy]] (la-Ville), [[Fontaine-lès-Vervins|Fontaine]] (lès-Vervins), and of several other places. Unlike his father, the brigand-lord [[Thomas de Marle]], Enguerrand II peacefully administered his lands, building a chapel in his castle (the chapel's foundations survive as some of the oldest remains in Coucy). Enguerrand joined the army of [[Louis VII of France]] during the [[Second Crusade]]. He died in battle and was buried in Nazareth.<br />
<br />
In 1131, he married Agnès de Beaugency, daughter of Raoul I of Beaugency and Mathilde de Vermandois.<ref name="Pollock145">M.A. Pollock, ''Scotland, England and France after the Loss of Normandy, 1204-1296'', (The Boydell Press, 2015), 145.</ref> Agnès gave him two sons:<br />
* [[Raoul I, Lord of Coucy]]<ref name="Pollock145" /> <br />
* Enguerrand<br />
<br />
His main leisure pursuit was hunting in the woods, where legend holds he met and killed a fierce lion or beast which had been terrorising the area, and founded the [[Order of the Lion (France)|Order of the Lion]] to commemorate the event.<br />
