In 1340, he married Marie de Namur (daughter of John I, of Dampierre and Marie of Artois),[1] after her first husband Henry II, Graf of Vianden was murdered at Famagusta three years before. His wife, Marie gave birth to two daughters, Yolande and Elisabeth. When Theobald, died (between 2 August 1353 and 6 July 1354) he had no legitimate male heir, thus his daughter Elisabeth became the heiress of Bar-Pierrepont.
