As events transpired, the document was a dead letter, with the military incursion into Brabant of the Count Of Flanders , Louis II , who had married Margaret, Joanna's younger sister, and considered himself Duke of Brabant by right of his wife. By August 1356 Joanna and Wencelaus had called upon the Emperor, Charles IV to support them by force of arms. Charles met at Maastricht with the parties concerned, including representatives of the towns, and all agreed to nullify certain terms of the ''Blijde Inkomst'', to satisfy the Habsburg . On Joanna's death, by agreement the Duchy passed to Antoine De Valois , the younger son of her sister Margaret De Dampierre, Countess Of Flanders , who had married Philip II, Duke Of Burgundy . Joanna's first marriage, in 1334, had been to William IV, Count Of Holland ( 1307 – 1345 ), who had died in battle without producing an heir, thus foiling any project of unifying their territories.
