Mathéo de Marigny

Early Life
Mathéo de Marigny was born to well-known French knight Gaspard de Marigny and royal family member Constance de Marigny née Capet. Just like his father, Mathéo was trained in combat and sword fighting from an early age on.

Life
Mathéo was knighted in 1084 at the age of 32. After serving in the military for more than 20 years, the crusades were called in in 1095. Mathéo de Marigny agreed to participate and was part of the first French army part to arrive to the war for the Holy Land. There he actively fought alongside other Christian soldiers.

Death
In mid 1108, still during the First Crusade, Mathéo de Marigny fell ill with a tropical disease which caused his death at the end of 1108 in Ashkelon, Israel. His body was transferred back to France and he was buried in the city of his birth, Lyon. Thus, the de Marigny line was extinct as Mathéo de Marigny did not marry and thus did not have children
