- "Baldwin IV, Lord des Marets, inherited his father's possessions in the Land of Cambray. In 1233, he gave these lands to the Abbey of Vaucelles and went to Palestine. There he fell in the Battle of Ascalon, in 1239.
He married Gillette de Jauche, daughter of Simon de Jauche, governorof Cambray.
They had the following sons:
1. Baldwin, who follows
2. Hugo, who still possessed his great-uncle Reginald's sword,
3. Jean, who became bailiff of Creveceur.
(The Act of Indemnity by which this last named Jean des Marets relinquished his rights to his paternal estate, leaving them to his eldest brother, Baldwin, is dated July 31, 1287. The original is with other family papers still in possession of the de Marez-Oyens family at Amsterdam, descendants of Jean des Marets (1518-1604)."
