De oude nederzettingen van het Ieperse

Er worden pas vanaf het jaar 1000 fysieke sporen van enige bewoning terug gevonden in de onmiddellijke omgeving van Ieper. Dit is veel eerder het geval voor Kortrijk (Coretoriaco) en Wervik (Werawiaco) die dank zij hun ligging aan de Leie belangrijke vestigingsplaatsen betekenen voor de Romeinen. Er bestaat een verbindingsweg tussen Kortrijk en Cassel (Castello Menapiorum). Die oude Romeinse…

[Events in the early thirteenth century disrupted Ida and Renaud's partnership.] Between spring 1210 and autumn 1211, the relationship between Renaud and the king [Philip Augustus] unraveled in the face of King John’s efforts to regain the allegiance of the northern French lords and the revived fortunes of Otto of Brunswick, once again king of Germany (and nephew of John and Ida). Philip’s suspicions, aroused by the presence of Eustace the monk in Boulogne (formerly seneschal of Boulogne and now John’s spy), led him to renegotiate the terms of the marriage agreement between Matilda of Boulogne and his son Philippe in 1209 and again in 1210. The documents only refer to Renaud, but it seems likely that Ida was part of the discussions.

Shortly after the second revision, the ten-year-old pair were wed in May 1210. This triggered the stipulation that Matilda’s dowry (all the family’s Norman lands, excluding Mortain, Lillebonne, and Alisay) were to be turned over to royal control on October 1, 1211. Renaud began refortifying Mortain Castle, in part a response to his support of his cousin Catherine, countess of Clermont’s, conflict with Philip, bishop of Beauvais (a royal cousin). Philip accused Renaud of disloyalty and demanded that the castle be surrendered by September 8, 1211, as security for his fidelity or be judged in default.

What advice Ida gave Renaud in the autumn of 1211 before the break with Philip II is unknown. None of the chronicles relate Ida’s role in the swift dissolution of the ties between the king and her husband. All Renaud’s efforts to negotiate matters with Philip were rebuffed. She, Renaud, and her brother-in-law, Simon, fled to safety, first to the county of Bar and then to England. Renaud swore allegiance to John, and Ida served as a hostage for Renaud’s good faith. Philip reacted swiftly by confiscating their lands and appointing his son Louis the ruler of Boulogne. Renaud, with the aid of William Longsword and Hugh de Boves, served as John’s emissaries and commanders in the region between 1212 and 1214. They were joined by Ferrand, count of Flanders, and Louis and Philip were hard pressed in the region.

At the battle of Bouvines (July 27, 1214), Renaud fought valiantly until the end, but he and Ferrand were captured. Ferrand was imprisoned at the Louvre for his defiance, but Countess Jeanne was allowed to rule Flanders, albeit under tight royal supervision, until he was released in 1231. Renaud was chained up at Péronne Castle and never released.

Afterwards, Ida sought to ransom Renaud from Philip II, both directly and with the aid of Countess Jeanne of Flanders, but her efforts failed. She retired to the Augustinian house of Zonnebeke, where she died in 1216. Renaud died in captivity in 1227. Between 1212 and 1223, Prince Louis governed Boulogne, and, to a lesser degree, Artois. Boulogne served as his supply base during his English campaigns from the winter of 1216 until the fall of 1217; consequentially, the Honour of Boulogne escheated to the crown.

Zonnebeke in Belgium witnessed some of the most ferocious fighting of the Great War. The 1917 Battle of Passchendaele, also known as the Third Battle of Ypres, was one of the major battles of World War I, fought by British, ANZAC, and Canadian soldiers against the German army. The plan was to drive a hole in the German lines and advance to the Belgian coast in order to capture the German submarine bases. The battle symbolizes the horrific nature of the great battles of the First World War. The Germans lost approximately 270,000 men, while the British Empire forces lost about 450,000, including 36,500 Australians.

Romeinen in Zonnebeke

Oostelijk gelegen van het laaggelegen moerasgebied van Ieper en Zillebeke doemen de dichtbeboste heuvels van het Hooghe en de Zandberg op. Een ondoordringbaar woud dat al vele duizenden jaar oud is. De mensen noemen het de Rumetra. Het woud strekt zich uit van de Kemmelberg tot aan de buitengebieden van Brugge. Donker en reusachtig. Een woud zonder genade. In deze Rumetra liggen wouden die pas…
