Jean VIII of Harcourt-Lorraine Henri of Lorraine (died 1505) | issue-link = #Issue Marie of Harcourt (9 September 1398 – 19 April 1476) was a ruling suo jure Countess of Harcourt, and Baroness of Elbeuf from 1452 to 1476.

Life

Marie was the eldest daughter of John VII of Harcourt, Count of Harcourt and Aumale and Baron of Elbeuf, and of Marie of Alençon. On 12 August 1416 she married Antoine of Lorraine (1400–1458), Count of Vaudémont and sire of Joinville.

Upon the death of her father in 1452, she attempted to claim the entire Harcourt inheritance, to the exclusion of her younger sister Jeanne of Harcourt. By 1454, Jeanne had established herself as Countess of Aumale, and Marie as Countess of Harcourt and Baroness of Elbeuf. These lands were to pass to her second son, John, but he predeceased her in 1473, so they went to her grandson Rene.
