Photo "Le premier seigneur de Guise dont on connaît le nom, Wauthier, figure au bas d'une charte signée en 1058. Charte accordée par Henri Ier roi de France, dans laquelle ce prince déclare donner plusieurs menses et villas en faveur du monastère de Hanson. Après les seings du roi, de son fils et de la reine, viennent ceux de prélats, de chevaliers et de seigneurs parmi lesquels on distingue le nom de Wauthier de Guise (signum Walteri de Guisiâ). Le successeur probable de Wauthier, est Godefroy de Guise (Godfridus de Gusgiâ). Il épousa Ada de Roucy. Elle était la cinquième fille de Hilduin comte de Roucy. Hilduin avait eu deux fils et sept filles. La prem!ère épousa le roi d'Aragon, la seconde le comte du Perche, la troisième le comte de Clermont, la quatrième le comte de Rainel, la sixième le comte de Wark, la septième le prince de Bourgogne. On rapporte que Foucon le prince de Bourgogne avait forcé Hilduin à consentir à cette union, en le faisant prisonnier avec l'évêque de Laon, lors d'un voyage à Rome. On s'accorde généralement à attribuer la construction du Château de Guise à Godefroy. L'abbé Pécheur dans son ouvrage (Histoire de la ville de Guise et de ses environs - 1851) précise que "Elevé, à grands frais, sur un roc escarpé et inaccessible, ce manoir avec sa couronne de tours crénelés, son haut donjon, devait avoir un aspect à la fois redoutable et pittoresque. La grosse tour était le signe de la puissance féodale. La grosse tour de Guise existe encore. The first lord of Guise whose name Wauthier is known, at the bottom of a charter signed in 1058. Charter granted by King Henry I of France, in which the prince said to menses and several villas in favor of the monastery of Hanson. After seings the king, his son and the queen are those of bishops, knights and lords, among which stands out the name Wauthier de Guise (signum walteri of Guisiâ). The likely successor Wauthier is Godefroy de Guise (Godfridus of Gusgiâ). He married Ada de Roucy. She was the fifth daughter of Hilduin Count of Roucy. Hilduin had two son and seven daughters. The prem! Era married the King of Aragon, the second Count of Perche, the third Earl of Clermont, the fourth Earl of Rainel, the sixth Earl of Wark, the seventh prince of Burgundy. It is reported that Foucon Prince of Burgundy had Hilduin forced to consent to the union, taking him prisoner, with the Bishop of Laon, on a trip to Rome. It is generally attributed to the construction of the Château de Guise Godefroy. Father Fisherman in his book (History of the town of Guise and its surroundings - 1851) states that "Built at great expense, on a steep and inaccessible rock, this manor with its crenellated towers crown his high tower, should have a look that is both dangerous and picturesque. The great tower was a sign of feudal power. The great tower of Guise yet exist." by Daniel Jolivet (Creative Commons Attribution 2.0) / Cropped from original
