Herzog Heinrich III. von Brabant , siehe Wikipedia, Seine ersten Erfahrungen als Soldat machte er an der Seite seines Verwandten, des deutschen Gegenkönigs Wilhelm von Holland, an dessen Krönung am 1. November 1248 in Aachen er teilnahm. Im Flämischen Erbfolgekrieg hingegen unterstützte er ihn nicht, obwohl in dieser Auseinandersetzung Wilhelms Sohn und der Schwager involviert waren. Stattdessen verbündete er sich mit Wilhelm von Dampierre, Graf von Flandern, dessen Schwester er dann heiratete. Andererseits suchte er, im alten Niederlothringen den Frieden zu erhalten, was ihm auch gelang, trotz der Feindseligkeiten der Dampierres und der Avesnes sowie der Wirren, die dem Tod Wilhelms von Holland mit dem Interregnum folgte. Auf dem Sterbebett unterzeichnete er 1261 eine Charta, die seinen Untertanen größere Freiheiten gewährte.
