Belonging to the counts of Flandre, Crèvecœur was a fiefdom of the bishop of Cambrai and is known only by its coins of Jean de Flandre, who had received it from his father, Guillaume, along with Arleux. Following his death, his widow, Béatrix de Saint-Pol, ceded these two territories to Philippe VI in 1337 in exchange for Chauny-sur-Oise.
