History

The name derives from the town of Hénin-Beaumont in Flanders-Artois, currently in Northern France. In the 13th century, the family grew into three different branches, such as the branch of Hénin-Liétard d'Alcase and the branch of the lords of Bossu.{{Cite web|url=http://www.chateaudeboussu.be/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&Itemid=16|title=Chapelle funéraires des Seigneurs de Boussu|last=Administrator|website=www.chateaudeboussu.be|language=fr-fr|access-date=2017-06-05}}
