History
The name derives from the town of Hénin-Beaumont in Flanders-Artois, now 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 Boussu.[3]
The main family mausoleum ("Chapelle des Seigneurs") is located inside the Church of Boussu and is considered one of the major artworks of Jacques Du Brœucq.[4]
