Count of Hainault, Holland, Zeeland, and Friesland. Called 'le Bon', 'the Good'.

Married with a contract dated May 19, 1305 at Chauny.

Some are annoyingly persistent in insisting that clarification is needed that his name is known as Willem in Dutch and William in English. There we go. Now they have it. Since French was his primary language I have kept his name spelled in that way.
