Guillemette of Neufchâtel
Guillemette de Neufchâtel was a vassal in the Holy Roman Empire. She was Countess of Montbéliard between 1282 and 1317.
She was the daughter of Amadeus, Count of Neufchâtel and his wife, Jordanna of Arberg. In 1259, her great-aunt Margaret, married Richard of Neufchâtel-en-Bourgogne. As her dowry, she brought the Lordships of Blamont, Châtelot, Belmont, and Cuisance into the marriage. The Lords of Neufchâtel-en-Bourgogne placed Blamont under the protection of the Duke of Burgundy and thus detached it from Montbéliard.
In 1282, Guillemette married Reginald of Burgundy. They had five children:
- Othenin "the Mad", who succeeded her as Count of Montbéliard
- Agnes of Montbéliard, married Henry I, Count of Montbéliard, who inherited Montbéliard after Othenin's death
