Do not confuse her with Matilda of Brabant, Countess of Holland (daughter of Duke Henry I) Mahaut, Maud, and Matilda are the same name in different languages.

Matilda of Brabant (14 June 1224 – 29 September 1288) was the eldest daughter of Henry II, Duke of Brabant (born ca 1180-1200, d 1 Feb 1247) and his first wife Marie, daughter and co-heiress of Philip I, King of Germany. [1]

According to one (secondary) source I've seen, Mathilde de Brabant and Guy II de Châtillon are the grandparents of Isabeau de Châtillon [Châtillon-7] via the union of Jacques I de Châtillon (their son) and Catherine de Condé. There doesn't seem to be any WikiTree profiles for Jacques and Catherine. I can continue doing research if requested.

Hi Kenneth,

Certainly you are welcome and encouraged to do research. I would suggest that you post your findings, including the sources (and links if available online), in a G2G post, linking from this profile, being sure to tag your post with Medieval, Pre-1500, and France in order to bring it to the attention of project members. That way a pre-1500 certified member (or members) can review the information and sources and add the information and profiles if the sources are deemed to be reliable.
