[Note: There are conflicting claims to his actual place of burial. There is a monument to his memory in the same church where his son Jean II is buried. ~Todd Whitesides]

"A la teste d'icelle tombe y avoit cincq armoiries, asçavoir:

p. 59:
"Jean d'Avesnes (d.1257), apparently has an imposing tomb in the middle of the choir of the Dominican's church [in Valenciennes] that he shared with his wife, Alix de Hollande...."
There is also a diagram of the imposing tomb, showing the placements, on page 58. Thus, both Jean I d'Avesnes and his wife, Alix, were buried in Valenciennes Couvent des Cordeliers, Nord-Pas-de-Calais, France, along with their son, Jean II d'Avesnes.
