Anthony
duke of Brabant
Quick Summary
Anthony, Duke of Brabant, was a member of the House of Burgundy. He was granted the duchy of Brabant as successor to Duchess Joanna, whose line had died out. This succession was accepted by the estates of Brabant. Anthony's branch of the Burgundians eventually died out in 1430, leading to Brabant passing to Philip III the Good of Burgundy. The duchy of Brabant itself emerged after the decline of the Carolingian empire and was a division of Lower Lorraine. Henry I of Louvain became the first duke of Brabant in 1190.12
