Sohier of Enghien (died 21 March 1364), or Solier d'Enghien, was Lord of Enghien in the County of Hainaut from 1346, and Count of Brienne from 1356 until his death in 1364.[1][2] He was also the titular Duke of Athens.[1][2]
The second, but eldest surviving son of Walter III of Enghien and Isabella of Brienne, when his mother divided the inheritance of his uncle Walter VI of Brienne among her sons, he received the title of Duke of Athens.
Sohier was captured and beheaded by Albert I, Duke of Bavaria on 21 March 1364, leaving his titles to his son Walter VII.[3][4]
