The county was split from the County of Boulogne in about 988.[1] Though dominated by the larger county of Flanders, it often acted independently.[2] In 1180, Guînes was passed, together with Ardres, Arras and Saint-Omer, to the French crown as part of the dowry of Isabel of Hainaut when she married Philip II of France.[3]
