{{Short description|Flemish noble}} [[File:Jindra7Luc_jizda.jpg | thumb | right]] '''Guy of Dampierre''', '''Count of Zeeland''', also called '''Guy of Namur''' ({{langx|nl-BE|Gwijde van Namen|label=[[Flemish dialects|Flemish]]}}) (ca. 1272 – 13 October 1311 in [[Pavia]]), was a Flemish noble who was the Lord of [[Ronse]] and later the self-proclaimed [[Count of Zeeland]]. He was a younger son of [[Guy, Count of Flanders]] and [[Isabelle of Luxembourg]].{{sfn|Verbruggen|1995|p=8}}
In 1302, with his father in prison and [[Flanders]] under French occupation, he was sent by his elder brother [[John I, Marquis of Namur]], to take command of the rebellion there. He assembled the Flemish troops in [[Courtrai]].{{sfn|Verbruggen|1997|p=190}} He led the troops from western Flanders at the [[Battle of the Golden Spurs]], and received great acclamation for the victory there. He took the title of [[Count of Zeeland]] and invaded [[Zeeland]]; but the French raised new armies, and he was beaten at the 1304 naval [[Battle of Zierikzee]]{{sfn|Bradbury|2007|p=258}} and became a captive of the [[William III, Count of Hainaut]]. Abandoning his designs on Zeeland, he went on campaign in [[Italy]] with his cousin [[Henry VII, Holy Roman Emperor]]. There he married Margaret,{{sfn|Fegley|2002|p=104}} daughter of [[Theobald II, Duke of Lorraine]]. He died soon thereafter, without issue.
