=== Life Sketch ===
Alix d'Eu (died May 1246), daughter of Henry II, Count of Eu, and Matilda, daughter of Hamelin de Warenne, Earl of Surrey, and Isabel de Warenne. Countess of Eu, Lady of Hastings. Alix was the last ruler of the county of Eu from the House of Normandy. Alix inherited Eu and Hastings upon her father's death in 1191 as her older brothers had both died prematurely.
In 1219, Alix travelled to England apparently under some arrangement with Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent, Justicar of England. Their relationship remains a mystery.
In a charter dated February 1233, Alix granted terram de Forz…ex eschæta Guillelmi quondam domini de Forz et comitis Aubemarle to Louis IX, King of France. It is unclear how Alix came to control Forz.
Alix married Raoul I of Lusignan in 1213, resulting in his becoming Count of Eu and Lord of Hastings, de jure uxoris, in 1214. Alix and Raoul had:
1.) Matilda Lusignan (c. 1210-August 14, 1241), who married Humphrey de Bohun, 2nd Earl of Hereford, 1st Earl of Essex and Constable of England. She was buried at Llanthony, Gloucester.
2.) Raoul II de Lusignan, Count of Eu.
Alix was interred at La Mothe-Saint-Héray upon her death. The Counts of Eu continued through several generations of the House of Lusignan.

Note: ALIX d'Eu (-La Mothe Saint Héray [13/15] May 1246). The Chronique des comtes d’Eu, written in 1390, names "Aalis et Jehanne" as the two daughters of "Henry et Mahault", adding in a later passage that Alix married "Radulphus de Yssouduno...filz du conte de la Marche mainsné" in 1200, and died in 1245 "à Villeneuve en Poitou en un sien lieu appelé la Mote"[1066]. She succeeded her father as Ctss d'Eu, Lady of Hastings. “Haelisia comitissa Augy quondam uxor Radulfi de Ysondun comitis Augy” donated property to Roche Abbey, for the souls of “…Radulfi filii mei”, by undated charter witnessed by “domino Willielmo comite Warennæ avunculo meo…”[1067]. An order of King John dated 1 Apr 1202 relates intelligence that "filia Com. Aug…uxor Rad de Exoldun mortua est"[1068]. Presumably the report of her death was incorrect, assuming that Alix’s death in correctly recorded in the Chronique des comtes d’Eu. A letter from "W. comes Warrenæ" to "Huberto de Burgo justiciario Angliæ" dated Aug 1219 announces the arrival in England of "dominæ comitissæ Augi neptis vestræ, cognatæ nostræ"[1069]. The relationship between Hubert de Burgh and Alix d’Eu Ctss d’Eu has not yet been traced. “A[lix] comitissa Augi” confirmed that she relinquished "terram de Forz…ex eschæta Guillelmi quondam domini de Forz et comitis Aubemarle" to Louis IX King of France by charter dated Feb 1233 (O.S.)[1070]. The necrology of Ulterioris Portus monastery records the death "14 May" of "Aelis...comitissa Augi"[1071]. m (1191 or before) RAOUL de Lusignan, son of HUGUES [IX] de Lusignan & his wife [Orengarde ---] (-Melle 1 May 1219, bur Exoudun). He succeeded in 1194 as Comte d'Eu, by right of his wife.
