History

Bushoy, as it was called in old Dutch, was amongst the oldest lands in Artois. It was divided into two parts. Its territory was held by several major noble houses, including the House of Châtillon. Jeanne de Chatillon, daughter of Hughes and the last heiress of her line, married John I, Count of La Marche, who was lord of Bucqoy. In 1688, the dominium became a county at the request of Charles II. [2]
