An entirely new set of nobles families started to emerge from the primary sources in the county of Holland, and in the wider area of the territory which later developed into The Netherlands, in the mid-12th century. This document includes some of these families, divided territorially into:

· the county and later duchy of Gelre, corresponding approximately to the present-day Dutch province of Gelderland.

· the county of Holland and bishopric of Utrecht, covering today’s Dutch provinces of Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland and Utrecht.

· North Brabant, the northern part of the territory of the dukes of Brabant which is today in the Dutch province of Noord-Brabant and the northern part of the province of Limburg, south and west of the Maas river.

· Zeeland, today the Dutch province of Zeeland.

These territorial divisions are necessarily approximate given the diverse property holdings of many of these families.

As yet, the document includes no noble families living in the northern part of the Netherlands, corresponding approximately to the present-day Dutch provinces of Drenthe, Friesland, Groningen, and Overijssel.

Chapter 1. GELRE

As noted in the Introduction to the present document, this chapter shows nobility based in the county (later duchy) of Gelre, approximately corresponding to the present-day Dutch province of Gelderland.

A. HEREN van BATENBURG

Batenburg lies on the right bank of the River Maas about 10 kilometres west of Nijmegen, municipality of Wijchen, in the south of the present-day Dutch province of Gelderland. A more complete reconstruction of this family must await the emergence of more primary source material.

1. ALBERO van Batenburg (-after [1076-99]). “...Albero de Batenburg, Theodericus de Batenburg...Rodulfus de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated to [1076-99] under which "Adelheyt comitissa, comitis Everhardi filia" donated “predium suum Ortinam” [Orten (Bois-le-Duc)] to Utrecht St Marten, for the souls of “sue ac mariti sui Henrici...per manum Hermanni...advocatum”[1].

2. DIRK van Batenburg (-after [1076-99]). “...Albero de Batenburg, Theodericus de Batenburg...Rodulfus de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated to [1076-99] under which "Adelheyt comitissa, comitis Everhardi filia" donated “predium suum Ortinam” [Orten (Bois-le-Duc)] to Utrecht St Marten, for the souls of “sue ac mariti sui Henrici...per manum Hermanni...advocatum”[2].

3. RODULF van Batenburg (-after [1076-99]). “...Albero de Batenburg, Theodericus de Batenburg...Rodulfus de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated to [1076-99] under which "Adelheyt comitissa, comitis Everhardi filia" donated “predium suum Ortinam” [Orten (Bois-le-Duc)] to Utrecht St Marten, for the souls of “sue ac mariti sui Henrici...per manum Hermanni...advocatum”[3].

1. ARNOLD van Batenburg (-after 1138). “...Arnoldo de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated 1138 under which Arnold Archbishop of Köln confirmed that “Theodericus de Ulfeta” had donated “curtem...Gutterswick” to Camp abbey[4].

Two brothers, the primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified.

1. DIRK van Batenburg (-after 1201). “...Henricus et Theodericus de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated to after 6 Mar 1196 (O.S.?) which records a treaty between Gelre and Brabant[5]. “Theodericus de Batenburg, Henricus frater eius...” witnessed the charter dated 1201 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre donated property to Kloster Bedbur[6].

2. HENDRIK van Batenburg (-after 1207). “...Henricus et Theodericus de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated to after 6 Mar 1196 (O.S.?) which records a treaty between Gelre and Brabant[7]. The difference in order of the witnesses in this document compared to the next charter has not been explained. “...ex parte comitis Gelriæ:...Henricus de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated 22 Jan 1200 which records a treaty between Gelre and Brabant[8]. “Theodericus de Batenburg, Henricus frater eius...” witnessed the charter dated 1201 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre donated property to Kloster Bedbur[9]. “...Henrico de Batenborch...” witnessed the charter dated 1207 under which Gerard Graaf van Gelre recorded the possessions of Lochem[10].

1. FLORIS van Batenburg (-after [20] Jul 1247). “...Florentius de Batenburg...” witnessed the charter dated 25 Apr 1242 under which Dietrich [IV] Graf von Kleve granted toll exemptions on the Rhine to the merchants in his city[11]. “Florentius de Battenburg et Iohannes de Wichene viri nobiles” notified the settlement of a dispute between Dietrich [IV] Graf von Kleve and the chapter of Utrecht concerning property “in Balgoye” by charter dated [before 20] Jul 1247, witnessed by “...Theoderico domino de Herne, Gerardo de Battenburg nobilibus...”[12].

The primary source which confirms Gerard’s parentage has not been identified.

1. GERARD van Batenburg (-[1288/18 Sep 1291]). “Florentius de Battenburg et Iohannes de Wichene viri nobiles” notified the settlement of a dispute between Dietrich [IV] Graf von Kleve and the chapter of Utrecht concerning property “in Balgoye” by charter dated [before 20] Jul 1247, witnessed by “...Theoderico domino de Herne, Gerardo de Battenburg nobilibus...”[13]. Wilhelm King of Germany [Count of Holland] confirmed that “Gerardus de Batenburgh” granted “in dotem...uxori suæ Bele” two markets held from him in fief by charter dated 27 Mar 1254 (O.S.?), witnessed by “...Theoderico domino de Herne, Gerardo de Battenburg nobilibus...”[14]. “...G. domino de Batenburg...” witnessed the 14 Dec 1255 charter under which “Gerlacus filius Henrici domini de Isenburg et Elyzabet uxoris ipsius G” confirmed the property received by his wife in Kleve[15]. “...Gerardus de Batenburg...” was named under the guarantors for Kleve in the 13 May 1260 charter which records the settlement of a dispute between Gelre and Kleve[16]. "...Wilhelmi domini de Brunchurst, G. de Batenburg, virorum nobilium…" witnessed the charter dated 10 Jan 1269 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre bought property from the Teutonic Knights at Coblenz[17]. Dirk van Batenburg and his father Gerard van Batenburg witnessed a charter dated 1288[18]. Gerard presumably died before 18 Sep 1291, the date of his son’s charter cited below. m firstly (before 27 Mar [1254/55]) MABELIA, daughter of ---. Wilhelm King of Germany [Willem II Count of Holland] confirmed that “Gerardus de Batenburgh” granted “in dotem...uxori suæ Bele” two markets held from Wilhelm/Willem in fief by charter dated 27 Mar 1254 (O.S.?), witnessed by “...Theoderico domino de Herne, Gerardo de Battenburg nobilibus...”[19]. Dr. Kees Nieuwenhuijsen, in his study of names in the Netherlands and Flanders 1250-1300, lists “Bela, Bele...” among the diminutives of Mabelia[20]. This theory appears supported by the name Mabelia given to the couple’s daughter as shown below. The birth date of Gerard’s second wife, indicating her marriage date, suggests that Mabelia died soon after the births of her children. Another possibility is that Gerard married only once: “Bele” (genitive singular of “Bela”) could signify a diminutive of “Isabella”, a name which medieval documents often show as interchangeable with “Elisabeth” (Dr. Nieuwenhuijsen includes “Ysabella” among the alternatives for Elisabeth in his study). m secondly ([1255/59?]) ELISABETH van Elsloo, daughter of ARNOLD [III] Heer van Elsloo & his wife --- ([1240/44?]-[Apr 1282/18 Sep 1291]). Her birth date is estimated from the likely birth date of her younger sister Margareta, in turn suggesting her date of marriage. Arnold van Elsloo donated property to the hospital of St. Johan by charter dated Apr 1282, witnessed by his three daughters “Elisabeth vrouwe van Batenburg, Margarethe vrouwe van Borne, Johanna vrouwe van Hoogstraten”[21]. Her son’s 18 Sep 1291 charter cited below suggests that Elisabeth was deceased at the time. Gerard & his first wife had two children:

a) MARGARETA van Batenburg (-1299). Keizer & Vermeulen show her parentage, marriage, and date of death[22]. m RUDOLF de Cock, son of RUDOLF de Cock & his wife ---.

b) MABELIA van Batenburg (-1333). Keizer & Vermeulen show her parentage and ecclesiastical appointment[23]. Abbess of Elten 1308.

Gerard & his [first/second] wife had one child:

c) DIRK van Batenburg ([after 1255/59?]-before 15 Jun 1318). Keizer & Vermeulen indicate that Dirk was born from his father’s second marriage[24]: if that is correct, he was born [after 1255/59?]. The identity of his mother is open to doubt because Elsloo passed to the descendants of the second daughter of Arnold [III] van Elsloo (Margareta wife of Oyst [II] van Borne, see the document LIMBURG) instead of the Batenburg family (Dirk’s father having married Arnold [III]’s oldest daughter according to the name order in the Apr 1282 charter cited above). Hans Vogels suggests that Dirk was therefore born from his father’s first marriage (birth date difficult to estimate with any confidence)[25]. Another possibility is that the succession settlement agreed between Arnold [III]’s three daughters after their father died included financial compensation paid to Gerard van Batenburg and his wife instead of their inheriting one of her father’s fiefs. The doubt about Dirk’s mother would not arise if Dirk’s father married only once, the possibility of which is discussed above. Dirk van Batenburg and his father Gerard van Batenburg witnessed a charter dated 1288[26]. Heer van Batenburg. Dirk van Batenburg named “genitoris nostri Gerardi…matris nostri Elyzabeth” in a charter dated 18 Sep 1291[27]. Dirk presumably died before 15 Jun 1318, the date of his son-in-law’s charter cited below. m ([before 1280?]) MECHTELD, daughter of --- (-after 24 Sep 1328). Mechteld, wife of Dirk, was named in charters dated 18 Sep 1291[28] and 24 Sep 1328[29]. Keizer & Vermeulen suggest that she was Mechteld van Kuyc, daughter of Jan [I] Heer van Kuyc & his wife Jutta von Nassau[30]. They base their speculation on the chronology and on the series of documents of her son-in-law Willem van Bronckhorst cited below. They suggest that the 8 Jun 1318 confirmation indicates a close connection with Kuyc, although the names of the fiduciaries (which often include relatives) and witnesses (both listed by Dicks[31]) provide no help in determining whether their suggestion is correct. While the complete text of the three documents has not been seen, one possibility appears to be two levels of fiefholding: Kuyc holding from Gelre, and Batenburg from Kuyc. Dirk & his wife had two children:

i) JOHANNA van Batenburg ([1280/90]-after 1328). Willem van Bronkhorst Heer van Batenburg, his wife Johanna and her sister Richardis sold property in Haren to Abtei Camp by charter dated 15 Jun 1318[32], confirmed by Jan Heer van Kuyc by charter dated 8 Jun 1318[33], and by Reinald II Graaf van Gelre who confirmed the purchase made from “Wilhelmum de Brunchorst” by charter dated 17 Jun 1318[34]. Reinald II Graaf van Gelre confirmed that "unse nichte vrouw Johanna van Bronckhorst und van Batenburg" divided properties between her children, with the consent of "Heer Johan van Bronckhorst, proost van Aldenmunster te Utrecht...Hendrik van Wisch..." by charter dated 1328[35]. m WILLEM [III] Heer van Bronkhorst, son of GIJSBRECHT [IV] Heer van Bronkhorst & his wife --- (-killed in battle Hasselt 25 Sep 1328). Heer van Batenburg.

ii) RICHARDIS van Batenburg . Willem van Bronkhorst Heer van Batenburg, his wife Johanna and her sister Richardis sold property in Haren to Abtei Camp by charter dated 15 Jun 1318[36]. Baron Schimmelpenninck van der Oije suggested that Richardis married “Johan van Baer”, citing a charter dated 1342 in which Frederik van Baer [Johan’s son] named “heer Gijsbert van Bronkhorst onze neve, Gijsbert van Bronkhorst onsen oem”[37]. On the other hand, Vermeulen suggests that Frederik’s dual family relationship with the two persons named Gijsbrecht van Bronkhorst could better be explained if Frederik’s mother was a member of the Bronkhorst family[38].

Gerard & his second wife had one child:

d) ARNOLD van Batenburg (-1291). Keizer & Vermeulen show his parentage and date of death[39]. The primary sources which confirm this information have not been identified. Hans Vogels highlights that, if Arnold was his father’s only son by his second marriage (the theory discussed above), he could have inherited Elsloo from his maternal grandfather Arnold [III] Heer van Elsloo as the only son of Arnold [III]’s eldest daughter: Elsloo would then have passed to the Borne family, descendants of Arnold [III]’s second daughter, after Arnold van Batenburg died[40]. This assumes that Arnold van Batenburg survived Arnold [III] van Elsloo. The latter was living in 1285 but his precise date of death has not been ascertained (see the document LIMBURG). Arnold [III] may have died before 1287, the date of a document in which his son-in-law Oyst [II] van Borne was named. However, the full text of that document has not been found, so it has not been possible to verify whether Oyst was named “heer van Elsoo” in it.

B. HEREN, GRAVEN van den BERGH (‘s-HEERENBERG)

The town of ‘s-Heerenberg is located about 5 kilometres north of the river Rhine on the border with Germany in the present-day Dutch province of Gelderland. In early medieval times the town lay within the county of Zutphen. The castle of Bergh lies on the western outskirts of the town. Insufficient primary source material has been identified to enable the family of the early Heren van den Bergh to be reconstructed. Bergh passed by marriage to a younger branch of the Polanen family in the late 14th century as shown below. The territory was made an imperial county by Emperor Friedrich III.

B. HEREN van BRONKHORST

The small town of Bronkhorst lies on the eastern bank of the river IJssel, about 10 km south of Zutphen in the present-day Dutch province of Gelderland. The sources quoted below show that, from the 1130s to the early 14th century, the Heren van Bronkhorst held the fiefdom of Reckheim (Rekem), which is situated about 5 kilometres north of Maastricht, in the present day Belgian arrondissement of Tongres, commune of Lanaken, province of Limburg.

1. ADAM van Bronkhorst (-after [1127/31]). “Adam de Brunchorst...” witnessed the charter dated to [1127/31] under which “comes Gerhardus coadunato filio suo Heinrico” [Gerard Graaf van Gelre] donated “capellam...in Ellenchem” to Zutfen church[44].

2. GIJSBRECHT [I] van Bronkhorst (-7 Sep ----). Wouters records Gijsbrecht [I] as the son of Adam van Bronkhorst (no source cited), noting his death “VII Id Sep” in the necrology of Reckheim[45]. “Gillebertus de Radekeim” founded a hospital at Reckheim, and donated property, by charter dated 1140[46]. m [([after 1134]) HEILWIVA, daughter of ARNOLD van [Rode] & his wife Aleidis [van Kuyc]. The Annales Egmundani record “Godefridum [...de Arnesburch] et Hermannus [...de Kuk] nobiles viri et famois neptem ex sorore Aleida...filiam Arnoldi de Rothen...Heilwivam", noting that "Hermannus avunculus" governed her lands after her father was killed and her mother died (“post occisionem patris et obitum matris eius”) and opposed her marriage to “Florentius” [Floris “de Zwarte”, brother of Dirk VI Count of Holland] who was killed in the course of the subsequent dispute[47]. Wouters records that Heilwiva [Hedwig] later married “Gisbert seigneur de Bronckhorst”, noting that she was heiress of Reckheim (no source cited)[48]. The primary source which records her marriage has not been identified.]

3. GERHARD van Bronkhorst (-after 1179). “...Gerhardus de Brunchorst...” witnessed the charter dated 1179 under which “Henricus...heres Sutphaniensis oppidi” donated property to the church “in Ostbruch”[49].

Two brothers. The primary source which confirms their parentage has not been identified. Wouters says that they were sons of Gijsbrecht [I] and his wife, from whom they inherited Reckheim (no source cited)[50]:

1. GIJSBRECHT [II] van Bronkhorst (-after 1190). “[Gislbertus] de Brunkhorst...” witnessed the charter dated 1176 under which Godfried Bishop of Utrecht separated “illos de Herghe...de Gaedsbergh...de Vorichten” from “ecclesia de Eep”[51]. “...Gyselbertus de Brunckhorst et frater eius...” witnessed the charter dated 1190 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre granted freedoms to “Sutphaniensi civitati”[52].

2. --- de Bronkhorst (-after 1190). “...Gyselbertus de Brunckhorst et frater eius...” witnessed the charter dated 1190 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre granted freedoms to “Sutphaniensi civitati”[53].

Wouters identifies Willem [I] as the same person as the unnamed brother of Gijsbrecht [II] who was recorded in 1190[54]. The primary source which confirms that he is correct has not been identified.

1. WILLEM [I] van Bronkhorst (-[26 Jan 1226/11 Jun 1231]). “...Willelmus de Brunkhorst...” witnessed the charter dated 6 Mar 1196 which records a treaty between the count of Gelre and the duke of Brabant[55]. “...Wilhelmo de Brunchorst...” witnessed the charter dated 1200 under which Dirk Bishop of Utrecht granted property to Klooster Bethlehem near Doetinchem[56]. “...ex parte comitis Gelriæ:...Willelmus de Brunchors...” witnessed the charter dated 22 Jan 1200 which records a treaty between Gelre and Brabant[57]. “...Willelmus de Brunghorst...” witnessed the charter dated 1203 which records a treaty between the count of Gelre and the duke of Brabant[58]. “...Willelmo de Bronckhorst...” witnessed the charter dated 1207 under which Gerard Graaf van Gelre recorded the possessions of Lochem[59]. “...Willelmo de Brunchorst...” witnessed the charter dated 1212 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre settled a dispute between “Peregrinum canonicum de Sutphania” and “Alexandrum de Horst” concerning “duobus mansis in Eschethe”[60]. "…Willelmo de Brunchorst..." witnessed the charter dated 26 Jan 1226 which records a dispute between Otto Bishop of Utrecht and Floris IV Count of Holland concerning the blocking of a dam "apud Swathenburch"[61]. m GERTRUD, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the following document: [her grandson] “Willelmus vir nobilis de Bronckort et de Redekem” gave the patronage of the church at Reckheim to the sisters of the hospital, noting that the church had granted co-fraternity to “avo Willelmo et aviæ Gertrudi, Gilberto patri, Cunigundi matris nostris...”, by charter dated 28 Oct 1260[62]. Willem [I] & his wife had four children:

a) GIJSBRECHT [III] van Bronkhorst (-after 12 Sep 1237). His parentage is confirmed by the 28 Oct 1260 charter quoted above. Heer van Bronkhorst. Heer van Reckheim: Gijsbrecht van Bronkhorst “vir nobilis dominus de Radekeym” exchanged property with Bethlehem convent and sold his mill at “Wiveseche” to Herckenrode and Reckheim monasteries by charter dated 1230, sealed “avec son frère [Guillaume] [prévôt]”[63]. “...Domini Giselberti de Brunkhurst...” witnessed the charter dated 11 Jun 1231 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre granted freedoms to “civitati de Herderewich”[64]. “Giselbertum nobilem de Brunchorst...et uxor mea Conegundis” settled a dispute with “capitulum Sutphaniensis ecclesie” concerning “decima...ab antiqua insula Brunckhorst usque Nierstat” by charter dated 10 Sep 1232, witnessed by “...Henricus clericus frater ipsius nobilis de Brunchorst...”[65]. “Nobilium meorum...Gyselbertus de Bronckhorst...” witnessed the charter dated 15 Jul 1233 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre granted rights to “Arnhem civitatem”[66]. “Giselbertus miles de Brunchorst...et uxor mea Kunegundis” exchanged “decimam trium domorum in parrochia Vurden” with Klooster Bethlehem for “Venewic...in parrochia Stenre” by charter dated 23 Nov 1235, witnessed by “...Henrico fratre meo Sutphaniense canonico...”[67]. “...Dominus Gysekinus de Brunchurst...” witnessed the charter dated 12 Sep 1237 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre granted freedoms to “opido nostro...Doseburg”[68]. m as her second husband, KUNIGUNDE von Oldenburg, widow of --- von Ahaus, daughter of MORITZ Graf von Oldenburg & his wife Salome von Wickrath (-1264 or after). Her parentage and two marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln but the primary source on which this information is based has not been identified[69]. “Giselbertum nobilem de Brunchorst...et uxor mea Conegundis” settled a dispute with “capitulum Sutphaniensis ecclesie” concerning “decima...ab antiqua insula Brunckhorst usque Nierstat” by charter dated 10 Sep 1232, witnessed by “...Henricus clericus frater ipsius nobilis de Brunchorst...”[70]. “Giselbertus miles de Brunchorst...et uxor mea Kunegundis” exchanged “decimam trium domorum in parrochia Vurden” with Klooster Bethlehem for “Venewic...in parrochia Stenre” by charter dated 23 Nov 1235, witnessed by “...Henrico fratre meo Sutphaniense canonico...”[71]. “Willelmus vir nobilis de Bronckort et de Redekem” gave the patronage of the church at Reckheim to the sisters of the hospital, with the consent of “Gilberti præpositi ecclesiæ Emiricensis et archidaconi Trajectensis fratris nostri [et]...matris nostræ dominæ Cunigundis”, by charter dated 28 Oct 1260[72]. Gijsbrecht [III] & his wife had [four] children:

i) [RUTGER (-after Mar 1251). The primary source which confirms Rutger’s parentage has not been identified. If he was a member of the Bronkhorst family, the chronology suggests that he may have been the eldest son of Gijsbrecht [III] who died soon after the charter quoted below and was succeeded by his brother Willem [II]. However, Rutger is not a name otherwise found in the Bronkhorst family: another possibility is that his family name was incorrectly completed by the editor of the charter collection. Heer van Bronkh[orst]: “...Ruthgerus dominus de Bronch[orst]” witnessed the charter dated Mar 1251 under which Clemens preceptor of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem bought a share in tolls at Arnhem[73].]

ii) WILLEM [II] van Bronkhorst (-after 6 Jun 1290). His parentage is confirmed by his 28 Oct 1260 charter.

Willem [II] & his wife had [five] children:

1. GIJSBRECHT [IV] van Bronkhorst (-[1315/20 Apr 1317]). Heer van Bronkhorst. “...dominos Gyselbertum de Brunchorst...milites...” was named among the guarantors in a charter dated 2 Nov 1295 under which “Sweder van Boorst” acknowledged a debt owed to Reinald Graaf van Gelre[94]. Ludwig Bishop of Munster agreed to submit his dispute with “Giselbertum dominum de Brunchorst” over “castro Lichtenuorde” to the arbitration of “comitis Gelriæ...Reynaldum...nostrum consanguineum”, noting that “dominus de Brunchorst pro se in præpositum ecclesiæ Elstedensis suum germanum Henricum de Wische...compromisit”, by charter dated 29 Feb 1312 (O.S.?)[95]. “Johan van Brunchorst...prouest thot Elst, Henric van Wisghe, end Henric Kempinc” notified the arbitration between Ludwig Bishop of Munster and “Gyseberte den here van Brunchorst” by charter dated 5 May 1312[96]. He presumably died before 20 Apr 1317, the date of his son’s charter. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Gijsbrecht’s wife has not been identified. Gijsbrecht [IV] & his wife had children:

a) WILLEM [III] van Bronkhorst (-killed in battle Hasselt 25 Sep 1328). Heer van Bronkhorst. Heer van Batenburg, de iure uxoris. “Gerardus de Marcka miles et Willelmus dominus de Broncorst et de Batemborgh” gave receipt to “Arnoldum comitem Lossensem” for payments received from Reckheim by charter dated 20 Apr 1317[97]. The following document confirms that Willem [III] sold his rights in Reckheim at the same time: “Gerardus de Marcka miles” committed to “Arnoldum comitem Lossensem”, and to “Arnoldus dominus de Steyne” to whom the said town would devolve if Gerhard died childless, not to sell “villam nostram de Redekim” by charter dated 20 Apr 1317, sealed by “...Wilhemi de Bronchorst...armigerorum”[98]. Chestret de Haneffe records his date of death “à Hasselt...dans un combat contre les Liégeois” (no source cited)[99]. m JOHANNA van Batenburg, daughter of DIRK Heer van Batenburg & his wife Mechteld --- ([1280/90]-after 1328). Willem van Bronkhorst Heer van Batenburg, his wife Johanna and her sister Richardis sold property in Haren to Abtei Camp by charter dated 15 Jun 1318[100], confirmed by Jan Heer van Kuyc by charter dated 8 Jun 1318[101], and by Reinald II Graaf van Gelre who confirmed the purchase made from “Wilhelmum de Brunchorst” by charter dated 17 Jun 1318[102].

- HEREN van BRONKHORST[104].

b) [JAN van Bronkhorst (-26 Jun 1346, bur Utrecht Saint-Sauveur). Provost of Elst. “Johan van Brunchorst...prouest thot Elst, Henric van Wisghe, end Henric Kempinc” notified the arbitration between Ludwig Bishop of Munster and “Gyseberte den here van Brunchorst” by charter dated 5 May 1312[105]. The charter does not specify the family relationship between Jan van Bronhorst and Gijsbrecht. Wouters says that Gijsbrecht was Jan’s father, noting that Jan was provost of Utrecht Saint-Sauveur in 1315/16, was twice elected Bishop of Utrecht but was unable to take possession, and was named present “au partage que fit la veuve de son frère entre ses enfants” [no citation reference, but see above for an extract], as well as recording his date of death and place of burial[106]. Chestret de Haneffe says that Jan was Gisbrecht’s brother[107]. No other source has been found to indicate which family relationship is correct.]

2. [FLORIS van Bronkhorst (-1306). Wouters names “Florent évêque de Brême, après son oncle, en 1296, et mort en 1306”, as the second son of Willem [II] Heer van Bronkhorst[108]. This statement appears to be based on Spaen who includes the same information[109]. However, an addition to the Annales Bremenses records that “Giselbertus archiepiscopus Bremensis” held the post for 33 years, 33 weeks and 3 days and died in 1306, and names “Hinricus electus Bremensis” as his successor, adding that the latter held the post for 4 months and died in May 1307[110]. No source has been found which indicates the existence of Floris and his succession as archbishop of Bremen.]

3. [HENDRIK van Wische . Ludwig Bishop of Munster agreed to submit his dispute with “Giselbertum dominum de Brunchorst” over “castro Lichtenuorde” to arbitration, noting that “---dominus de Brunchorst pro se in præpositum ecclesiæ Elstedensis suum germanum, Henricum de Wische et quendam---opidanum in Gronlo similiter compromisit”, by charter dated 29 Feb 1312 (O.S.?)[111]. The last clause in this document is confusing considering that Jan van Bronkhorst (see above) is named as provost of Elst at that time in the following charter: “Johan van Brunchorst...prouest thot Elst, Henric van Wisghe, end Henric Kempinc” notified the arbitration between Ludwig Bishop of Munster and “Gyseberte den here van Brunchorst” by charter dated 5 May 1312[112]. No other record has been found to confirm that Hendrik van Wische was a brother of Gijsbrecht van Bronkhorst. Maybe the blanks in the charter indicated by “---“ include wording which changes the sense of the phrase.]

4. KUNIGUNDE van Bronkhorst (-before 29 Mar 1299). Her parentage and marriage are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln but the primary source on which this information is based has not been identified[113]. m OTTO Graf von Dale, son of HEINRICH [II] Graf von Dale & his [first/second wife Bertha van Bentheim/Adeleijd van Boxtel] (-after 1282).

5. HEILWIG van Bronkhorst (-before 1331). The Chronicon Holtzatiæ refers to the mother of "fratres Gherardus, Ghiselbertus et Iohannes domicellus, filii Hinrici comitis" as "de Reno exortam de Brunckhorst, Wunstorp et Ghemele"[114]. m HEINRICH Graf von Holstein-Schauenburg in Rendsburg, son of GERHARD I Graf von Holstein in Itzehoe & his first wife Elisabeth von Mecklenburg (-5 Aug 1304, bur Itzehoe).

D. HEREN van RENEN

The Renen family was closely associated with the bishopric of Utrecht. A possible connection with the Brabant family of Aarschot is highlighted below. Family members were also Burggraven van Utrecht from the mid-12th century. The family properties passed to the Heren van Kuyc in the late 12th century.

1. GODFRIED van Renen (-after 18 Oct 1145). "Godfried van Renen" is named in charters at Utrecht dated 1105, 1118, 1125 (three), 1129, 1139, 1145 and 1169[142]. "…Godefridus de Rinen et filius eius Hugo…" witnessed a charter dated 18 Oct 1145 under which Heinrich III King of Germany confirmed the rights of the church of Utrecht in the counties of Oostergau and Westergau[143]. Coldeweij speculates that Godfried van Renen may have been the same person as Godfried van Aarschot, pointing out that "the Renen family owned property in Perk, Anderlecht and Dilbeek near Brussels. This was the area where the oldest lands of the counts of Leuven lay"[144]. In this scenario, Godfried van Aarschot would not have been the ancestor of the van Lier family (this question is discussed more fully in the document BRABANT, LOUVAIN). m [firstly] SOPHIA van Bemmel, daughter of DIRK van Bemmel & his wife ---. Coldewuij suggests that "Godfried van Renen-Aarschot" (identified as the future husband of Emmissa de Valenciennes) married Sophia van Bemmel as his first wife, by whom he fathered the six children shown below[145].

Chapter 2. HOLLAND, UTRECHT

As noted in the Introduction to the present document, this chapter shows nobility based in the county of Holland and bishopric of Utrecht, approximately corresponding to the present-day Dutch provinces of Noord-Holland, Zuid-Holland and Utrecht.

A. HEREN van ABCOUDE

The town of Abcoude is located on the borders between the present day Dutch provinces of Noord-Holland and Utrecht, on the southern outskirts of Amsterdam. The heerlijkheid of Abcoude, under the suzerainty of the bishop of Utrecht, is first mentioned in the early 11th century: a Chronicle of the church of Utrecht records the names of vassals on 2 January 1021, including “die Here van Abcoude” who held “dat Casteel mitter Heerlicheit van Abcoude ende mitter Stede van Wyck te Duerstede”[160]. It is not at all clear that this document is correctly dated, as the use of low German instead of Latin suggests that it must have been written well after the event. If it is authentic, the first castle at Abcoude must have been constructed before that date. However, the document makes no mention by name of any holders of the heerlijkheid and members of the Abcoude family are named in Dutch charters only from 1239. This delay of two centuries also suggests that the earlier document was reworked after the date it specifies. According to Europäische Stammtafeln, the family was related to the Heren van Zuylen, who were also Herren von Anholt (which is today located in the German State of Nordrhein-Westfalen, on the Dutch border on the outskirts of Isselburg)[161]. After the death in 1459 without direct heirs of Jacob van Abcoude, the heerlijkheid Abcoude passed to the bishop of Utrecht[162].

1. SWEDER [I] van Abcoude (-[15 Apr 1287/10 Jun 1289]). Egmond abbey granted “infra limites parochiæ de Limmen usque ad Oudeburghelane infra parochiam de Heylighelo” to “Simon de Haerlem, Henrici de Diepenem filius minorannis”, under the seal of “tutoris mei domini mei…de Abcoude Zwederi militis...per Comitem Hollandiæ deputatus”, by charter dated 10 Sep 1239[163]. "...Suederus de Apekewoude..." is named as fiduciary in a charter dated 23 Oct 1268 under which “Henricus dominus de Lecka miles” acknowledged the jurisdiction of Utrecht St Marie over “Lopeke...Bonrepois”[164]. Heer van Abcoude. Floris V Count of Holland listed his nobles, including “...Heer Zweder van Abcoude...Ridderen”, in a charter dated 1 Apr 1277[165]. "Sveder van Abcoude" notified Floris V Count of Holland that “Henric die Rovere” had accounted for money “van den huse van Montforde” by charter dated 15 Apr 1287[166]. m as her second husband, AFKYN van Schoonhoven, widow of HUGO Botter, daughter of ---. Her two marriages are shown in Europäische Stammtafeln[167], but the primary sources on which this information is based have not been identified. Sweder [I] & his wife had one child:

a) GIJSBRECHT [I] van Abcoude (-after 1301). “Giselbertus de Abcoude famulus” swore allegiance to Utrecht “super jurisdictione de Ameronghe”, settling a dispute between “dominum Adulphum de Waldegghen præpositum ecclesiæ Trajectensis” and “Zuederum de Abcoude piæ memoriæ patrem meum”, by charter dated 10 Jun 1289[168]. "Ghysebrecht van Abecoude" confirmed allegiance to Floris V Count of Holland by charter dated 22 Mar 1292[169]. "Ghisebrecht van Abecwoude riddere" notified that "Hughe van Vloten..." and others swore allegiance by charter dated 30 Aug 1298[170]. Heer van Abcoude.

Heer van Abcoude. Heer van de Aa. Stroobant records that, after his territorial ambitions in the duchy of Brabant were frustrated by “les échevins de Bruxelles”, Sweder denounced “comme son plus grand ennemi, le chevalier Evrard T’Serclaes”[180].

Willem and his wife transferred Aa to his brother Sweder [III] Heer van Abcoude in exchange for properties in Holland[192]. m MARIE de Walcourt, daughter of JEAN de Walcourt Heer van de Aa & his wife Isabelle de Looz (-20 May 1402). Wouters records her parentage and marriage but does not cite the source which confirms the information[193]. Willem & his wife had one child:

a) JOHANNA van Abcoude (-10 Jan 1411). Goethals records her parentage and marriage without citing the source which confirms the information[194]. Goethals adds that the couple were separated, when her husband became a monk and Joanna a nun at Wijk [Dominican convent of Maria Magdalena, Wijk bij Duurstede], but that after the death of her father in 1407 he unsuccessfully reclaimed his wife but was arrested. She died in 1411. m (1392, separated) JAN van Brederode Heer van Gennep, son of REINALD Heer van Brederode & his wife Yolande van Gennep (-killed in battle Agincourt 25 Oct 1415).

B. HEREN van ALTENA

The lordship of Altena was located north-west of ‘s-Hertogenbosch, south of the county of Holland and north-east of the lordship of Breda, in The Netherlands. Independent lords of Altena are recorded from the mid-12th century until the death of Dirk [III] Heer van Altena in [1241/47], after which the lordship passed to his relative Willem [II] Heer van Horne. The lordship of Altena was different from the county of Altena, which was situated south of Dortmund, on the river Lenne, in the present-day German state of Nordrhein-Westfalen (see LOWER RHINE, NOBILITY).

1. --- van Altena . m UDELHILD, daughter of --- (-before [1173]). A charter dated to [1173] records that “dominus Fastradus de Vutwicht” founded the church of Postelo, recording that “dominus Theodericus [...de Altena]...et sororem suam” renounced their ownership of certain property and that “post obitum matris domini Theodorici...Udelhilt, soror præfati Theodorici et vir eius Florentius de Voorne” agreed her inheritance[195]. Two children:

a) DIRK [I] van Altena (-after 27 Feb 1168). "…Theodericus de Altena…" witnessed the charter dated 7 Oct 1143 under which Heribert Bishop of Utrecht confirmed the privileges of Egmond church[196]. "…Theodericus de Altena, Florentius de Vorne, Isbrandus de Harlhem, Gerardus de Harlhem…Hugo de Vorne…" witnessed the charter dated 27 Feb 1168 which records a treaty between Floris III Count of Holland and Philippe Count of Flanders[197]. A charter dated to [1173] records that “dominus Fastradus de Vutwicht” founded the church of Postelo, recording that “dominus Theodericus [...de Altena]...et sororem suam” renounced their ownership of certain property and that “post obitum matris domini Theodorici...Udelhilt, soror præfati Theodorici et vir eius Florentius de Voorne” agreed her inheritance[198].

b) daughter . A charter dated to [1173] records that “dominus Fastradus de Vutwicht” founded the church of Postelo, recording that “dominus Theodericus [...de Altena]...et sororem suam” renounced their ownership of certain property and that “post obitum matris domini Theodorici...Udelhilt, soror præfati Theodorici et vir eius Florentius de Voorne” agreed her inheritance[199]. m FLORIS van Voorne, son of --- (-after [1190]).

2. DIRK [II] von Altena (-after [14 Oct/24 Dec] 1206). Klaversma indicates a charter dated 1189 under which “Rutger van Meerheim” donated property “de Winricushoeve te Linne” to Kamp abbey, witnessed by “Dirk aartsdiaken van Luik [cognatus of the donor]...Dirk van Altena en zijn zoon Boudewijn...”[200]. The date of this document suggests that Dirk [II] was a different person from Dirk [I]. “...Theodericus de Altena...” witnessed the charter dated 1203 which records a treaty between Otto Graaf van Gelre and Henri Duke of Brabant[201]. “Lodowicus comes de Los” resigned “castrum de Chalmunt...suum...alodium” to Henri I Duke of Brabant by charter dated [14 Oct/24 Dec] 1206, which names “obsides comitis: Rogerus de Merehem, Theodericus de Althena...”[202]. m ---. The name of Dirk´s wife is not known. Dirk & his wife had one child:

a) BOUDEWIJN van Altena (-after 21 Sep 1213). Klaversma indicates a charter dated 1189 under which “Rutger van Meerheim” donated property “de Winricushoeve te Linne” to Kamp abbey, witnessed by “Dirk aartsdiaken van Luik [cognatus of the donor]...Dirk van Altena en zijn zoon Boudewijn...”[203]. "Boudwinus de Halthena, Hugo de Vorne, Symon de Harlehem, Willelmus de Theylinge…" witnessed the charter dated 21 Aug 1200 under which Dirk VII Count of Holland donated property to Rijnsburg abbey[204]. "Hugo de Voirne, Baldwinus de Haltena…Hugo de Strien…" witnessed the charter dated 21 Sep 1213 under which Willem I Count of Holland granted protection to Geertruidenberg[205].

[Three] brothers, parents not known. From a chronological point of view, it is possible that their parents were Dirk [II] van Altena and his wife. Klaversma assumes that Dirk [III] was the son of Boudewijn van Altena, but it is not clear whether this is based on primary source documentation or is speculation[206].

1. --- (-[before 1212]). It is probable that both parents of Dirk had died before [1212]: "Theodoricus dominus de Autena" renounced rights over "mansum unum in villa...Mirda" in favour of Averboden, for the souls of "patris et matris mee", by undated charter[207], maybe dated to [1212] which is the date of another charter in which the same donor donated "decimam...Mirta" to Averboden[208]. m --- (-[before 1212]). [Five] children:

a) DIRK [III] van Altena (-[26 Jun 1241/1247]). A charter dated 3 Nov 1200, which records a treaty between Henri I Duke of Brabant and Dirk VII Count of Holland, names "homines comitis: Rutgerus de Merhem, Hugo de Vorne, Theodericus de Halthena…"[209]. "...Theoderici de Althena…" witnessed the charter dated Mar 1204 under which Dirk VII Count of Holland donated property to the church of Alne[210]. A charter dated 1206 (after 14 Oct), which records that Louis Comte de Looz swore homage to Henri Duke of Brabant, names "obsides comitis: Rotgerus de Merehem, Theodoricus de Altena…"[211]. "…Hugo de Worn, Theodericus de Alcena, Simon et Johannes et Isbrand de Harlen, Willielmus de Teylinge, Walpertus et Florentinus de Leda, Arnaand et Henr. de Riswic, Walterus de Egmund" witnessed the letter dated 1207 from "Adelheidis comitissa Hollandie" to John King of England concerning the marriage of "comes de Los" and "filiam meam"[212]. A charter dated 1212 records an agreement between "Theodericus de Altena et Johannes de Husden", sworn by "ipse Theodericus de Altena et frater suus Walterus et Henricus patruus eius…"[213]. "Theodoricus dominus de Autena" donated "decimam...Mirta" to Averboden, with the consent of "uxoris nostræ Mariæ et nepotum nostrorum Engelberti et Willelmi", by charter dated 1212[214]. A charter dated 15 May 1219 confirmed that the abbey of St Pantaleon, Köln granted "villam in Wishem" to "Wilhelmo de Hürne, viro nobili, advocato in Wishem", witnessed by "Nobiles, Theodericus de Althena…"[215]. "Nobilies homines mei Theodoricus de Althena, Albertus de Kuch, Theodorus de Vorne…" witnessed the charter dated Jul 1220 under which Willem I Count of Holland granted Dordrecht and other property to his wife[216]. "Dominus Theodericus de Altena" confirmed property "in villa mea Hunen" to Berne abbey, for the soul of "uxoris mee domine Ymagine", by charter dated 26 Feb 1230, witnessed by "…Arnoldus avunculus meus…et W. frater meus…"[217]. "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland by charter dated 7 May 1230 witnessed by "…Walterus de Altena…"[218]. "Theodericus dominus de Altena" granted property at Schalwijk to certain men of Zeeland by charter dated 8 Aug 1233, witnessed by "Wilhelmus et Engelbertus de Horne, Rutgerus de Wickerode…"[219]. "Wilhelmus dominus de Hoirne" confirmed "avunculus meus…dominus Theodericus de Altena" in possession of "castri de Altena" by charter dated 1235[220]. "Theodoricus dominus de Althena" founded the monastery of St. Elisabeth at Vreholt, and donated “tertiam partem totius decimæ de Brede” and other property, by charter dated 9 Oct 1240[221]. A charter dated 26 Jun 1241 records the reconciliation of "Th doctus dominus in Altena" with "Nicolaus dictus de Ema et Henricus filius suus ministeriales nostri", naming "domino Wilhelmo de Horne et fratre suo domino Engelberto…dominus Wilhelmus dictus de Strina…" among the fiduciaries[222]. m firstly MARIA [van Horne, daughter of --- van Horne & his wife ---] (-after 1212). "Theodoricus dominus de Autena" donated "decimam...Mirta" to Averboden, with the consent of "uxoris nostræ Mariæ et nepotum nostrorum Engelberti et Willelmi", by charter dated 1212[223]. Her suggested parentage is based on the following reasoning. The “nepotum nostrorum Engelberti et Willelmi" in this 1212 document can be identified as Engelbert and Willem van Horne. However, the sources appear contradictory regarding the precise relationship link between the Altena and Horn families. Under a charter dated 1224, Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Averboden and noted the donation "in villa de Brusthem" which was made by "vir nobilis Theodericus de Altena" with the consent of "uxoris sue [a different wife, see below under Dirk’s second wife Imagina] ac nepotum suorum Willelmi et Engelberti"[224]. This is similar wording to the 1212 document. For present purposes it is assumed that "nepotum" can be interpreted in these two documents in its strict sense of nephew. The presence of the wife of Dirk [III] van Altena in both documents suggests that the donor´s relationship with the Horn brothers was through her, which suggests that Dirk [III]´s wife was the paternal aunt of the two brothers. However, a contrary line of argument is indicated by a charter dated 7 May 1230, under which "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland[225]. The word "consanguineus" suggests a blood relationship, not a relationship by marriage. If this is the correct interpretation of the second document, it suggests that Dirk [III] van Altena was the maternal uncle of the Horn brothers, their mother being Dirk [III]´s sister. This appears to be supported by the charter dated 1235 under which "Wilhelmus dominus de Hoirne" confirmed "avunculus meus…dominus Theodericus de Altena" in possession of "castri de Altena", assuming that "avunculus" should be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle (which is far from certain)[226]. Wolters cites a charter dated 1244 which he quotes (in translation) as providing that Willem van Horne confirmed the donation of property by "son oncle maternel Thierry Seigneur d´Altena" to the abbey of Herckenrode[227]. However, it is not known whether "oncle maternel" is the correct translation of the wording of the original charter which has not yet been seen. This second line of argument also appears corroborated by the succession of Willem [II] Heer van Horne as Heer van Altena after the death of Dirk [III] van Altena in [1241/47], which is more easily explained if he was descended from Dirk [III]´s sister. m secondly (before 1224) IMAGINA, daughter of ---. “Imaina...domina de Altena” confirmed that “dominus meus et maritus dominus...Theodoricus de Altena” had donated “decimam suam...in villa Brusthem”, with her consent and with the consent of “suorum hæredum et nepotum Willelmi et Engelberti de Hornes”, by charter dated 1224[228]. "Dominus Theodericus de Altena" confirmed property "in villa mea Hunen" to Berne abbey, for the soul of "uxoris mee domine Ymagine", by charter dated 26 Feb 1230[229].

b) WOUTER van Altena (-after 7 May 1230). A charter dated 1212 records an agreement between "Theodericus de Altena et Johannes de Husden", sworn by "ipse Theodericus de Altena et frater suus Walterus et Henricus patruus eius…"[230]. "Dominus Theodericus de Altena" confirmed property "in villa mea Hunen" to Berne abbey, for the soul of "uxoris mee domine Ymagine", by charter dated 26 Feb 1230, witnessed by "…Arnoldus avunculus meus…et W. frater meus…"[231]. "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland by charter dated 7 May 1230 witnessed by "…Walterus de Altena…"[232].

c) [--- van Altena . The sources appear contradictory regarding the precise relationship link between the Altena and Horn families. The documentation which suggests that the first wife of Dirk van Altena was the paternal aunt of the two brothers Willem and Engelbert van Horne is discussed above. However, a contrary line of argument is indicated by a charter dated 7 May 1230, under which "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland[233]. The word "consanguineus" suggests a blood relationship, not a relationship by marriage. If this is the correct interpretation of the second document, it suggests that Dirk van Altena was the maternal uncle of the Horn brothers, their mother being Dirk´s sister. This appears to be supported by the charter dated 1235 under which "Wilhelmus dominus de Hoirne" confirmed "avunculus meus…dominus Theodericus de Altena" in possession of "castri de Altena", assuming that "avunculus" should be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle (which is far from certain)[234]. Wolters cites a charter dated 1244 which he quotes (in translation) as providing that Willem van Horne confirmed the donation of property by "son oncle maternel Thierry Seigneur d´Altena" to the abbey of Herckenrode[235]. However, it is not known whether "oncle maternel" is the correct translation of the wording of the original charter which has not yet been seen. The hypothesis also appears corroborated by the succession of her grandson Willem [II] Heer van Horne as Heer van Altena after the death of Dirk [III] van Altena in [1241/47]. m --- van Horne, son of ---.]

d) [ALEIDE . Klaversma indicates two sources which indicate that Aleide, sister of Dirk van Altena, married firstly “Johannes van of in Potthe” and secondly “Hendrik van Erkenteel alias Argenteau”[236]. m firstly JAN [van] Potthe, son of ---. m secondly HENRI d´Argenteau, son of ---. "Nobiles, Theodericus de Althena, Henricus de Archenteyl, Ruthgerus de Bremich..." witnessed the charter dated 15 May 1219 under which Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed that Köln St Pantaleon had leased "villam in Wishem" to “Wilhelmo de Hürne”[237].]

e) [SOPHIE van Altena ([1190/95]-after 1247). Klaversma indicates that Sophie was the sister of Dirk van Altena[238]. The primary source which confirms her parentage has not yet been identified. However, it is suggested by the charter dated 1247 under which "Leonius castellanus Brusellensis et Sophia uxor mea" confirmed property "insuper Cruchtene et Werte" to "domini Wilhelmi de Altena", inherited from "domini Theoderici bone memorie de Altena"[239]. Her birth date is estimated based on her having two children by her first husband. “Arnodus de Grimbergis dominus...[et] uxor mea Sophia” donated revenue from his lands to Grimbergen by charter dated 29 Nov 1211[240]. Her two marriages are confirmed by the charter dated Mar 1230 under which “Leonius Bruxellensis castellanus et Sophia uxor mea” confirmed that "Arnoldus de Grimbergis filius predictæ Sophiæ uxoris meæ et Arnoldi Grimbergæ domini" donated property to Dendermonde[241]. m firstly ARNOUT van Grimbergen, son of GERARD [II] Heer van Grimbergen & his wife Mathilde van Ninove (-1211). m secondly LEON [I] Châtelain de Bruxelles, son of GEOFFROY Châtelain de Bruxelles & his second wife Helwide --- (-after 1252).]

2. HENDRIK van Altena (-after 1212). A charter dated 1212 records an agreement between "Theodericus de Altena et Johannes de Husden", sworn by "ipse Theodericus de Altena et frater suus Walterus et Henricus patruus eius…"[242].

3. [ARNOLD (-after 26 Feb 1230). "Dominus Theodericus de Altena" confirmed property "in villa mea Hunen" to Berne abbey, for the soul of "uxoris mee domine Ymagine", by charter dated 26 Feb 1230, witnessed by "…Arnoldus avunculus meus…et W. frater meus…"[243]. It is not known whether Arnold was the paternal or maternal uncle of the donor.]

1. [WILLEM van Altena (-after Jan 1250). "Leonius castellanus Brusellensis et Sophia uxor mea" confirmed property "insuper Cruchtene et Werte" to "domini Wilhelmi de Altena", inherited from "domini Theoderici bone memorie de Altena", by charter dated 1247[244]. "Johannem dominum de Huesden" reached agreement with the town of ´s Hertogenbosch concerning tolls at Heusden by charter dated Jan 1250 witnessed by "Willelmus dominus de Althena frater suus…"[245]. It is possible that this is the same person as Willem [II] Heer van Horne (see below) whose family inherited the lordship of Altena.]

C. HEREN van AMSTEL

The Amstelland is the area along the river Amstel which flows northwards from Uithoorn and Amstelhoek towards Amsterdam. The precise geographical extent of the the medieval heerlijkheid of Amstel was not been ascertained. The Heren van Amstel were closely linked to the bishopric of Utrecht and presumably were vassals of the bishops. Wolfger was recorded as “schout” van Amstel in 1105 as shown below, an administrator responsible for local jurisdiction appointed by a local lord. The “heer” to whom Wolfger reported has not been identified. Egbert [I] van Amstel was described as “ministerialis” in the county of Gelrem, and his successor Gijsbrecht [II] as “ministerialis” of the bishop of Utrecht in 1226. The latter document also represents the first documented occasion when a member of the family was described as “Heer van Amstel”. A charter dated 29 Sep 1297 records an agreement between Jan II Count of Holland and Willem Bishop of Utrecht concerning property held by Gijsbrecht [V] Heer van Amstel (see below). The document suggests that the property had been confiscated, one explanation being that Gijsbrecht had been implicated in the murder of Count Floris V in 1296. No subsequent record has been found of Gijsbrecht or his descendants being described as Heer van Amstel. A younger branch of the family succeeded to the heerlijkheid of IJsselstein.

1. WOLFGER van Amstel (-after 8 Jul 1126). Schout van Amstel: under a charter dated 1105, the bishop of Utrecht records a dispute between the churches of Slidrecht and Houwenige, witnessed by “...Wolfgerus scultetus de Amestelle...”[246]. “...Wlfgardo de Amestelle...” witnessed the charter dated 8 Jul 1126 under which Godebald Bishop of Utrecht donated property to Utrecht St. Pieter[247].

2. EGBERT [I] van Amstel (-after 1172). His parentage is not known. The absence of the name Wolfger among his known descendants suggests that Egbert [I] was not closely related to Wolfger van Amstel. “...Egbertus de Amstelle...” witnessed the charter dated 1131 under which Andreas Bishop of Utrecht separated “parochianis de Thufen” from “ecclesia de Grosnen”[248]. Heribert Bishop of Utrecht founded Egmond St. Adalbert by charter dated 7 Oct 1143, witnessed by “...Egbertus de Amstel...”[249]. Konrad III King of Germany granted “comitatum Oostergouwe et Westergouwe” to the church of Utrecht by charter dated 18 Oct 1145, witnessed by “...Eckebertus de Amestele...”[250]. “Ministeriales: Ekbertus de Amestelle, filius eius Heinricus...” witnessed the charter dated 1172 under which Hendrik Graaf van Gelre confirmed donations made by “Henricus de Cuk comes Traiectensis”[251]. m ---. The name of Egbert’s wife is not known. Egbert & his wife had two children:

a) GIJSBRECHT [I] van Amstel (-after 1176). Gijsbrecht is named as son of Egbert [I] in a charter dated 1169[252]. “...Giselbertus de Amestelle...” witnessed the charter dated 1176 under which “Baldewinus...in ecclesia beate Marie prepositus” confirmed donations made by “Gerardus de Ape”[253].

b) HENDRIK van Amstel (-after 1172). “Ministeriales: Ekbertus de Amestelle, filius eius Heinricus...” witnessed the charter dated 1172 under which Hendrik Graaf van Gelre confirmed donations made by “Henricus de Cuk comes Traiectensis”[254].

Three brothers:

1.

E. HEREN van BREDERODE

The castle of Brederode is located near Santpoort-Zuid, near the Dutch coast in the present-day province of Noord-Holland north of Haarlem.

[Two siblings]. Their parents have not been identified. As noted below, this family group is referenced in a single charter about whose authenticity there must be doubts, as discussed below under Christina “comitissa de Lienden”. Because of these doubts, all the individuals in this group are shown in square brackets.

1. [--- van Brederode . m MARGARITA, daughter of ---. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated Nov 1203 under which her daughter and son “Christina comitissa de Lienden uxor Willelmi qui nunc agit in Terra Sancta cum Theodorico domino de Brederode fratre meo” donated property "cum silvis et dominio Armenvorst", granted by "domina Margarita matre mea", to Köln St Clement[332]. Two children:]

a) [DIRK [I] van Brederode (-after 1203). Heer van Brederode. “Christina comitissa de Lienden uxor Willelmi qui nunc agit in Terra Sancta cum Theodorico domino de Brederode fratre meo” donated property "cum silvis et dominio Armenvorst", granted by "domina Margarita matre mea", to Köln St Clement by charter dated Nov 1203 witnessed by "Bernardus comes de Lip, Willelmus dominus de Brederode…dominus Joannes de Arckel…dominus Simon van Renen"[333].]

b) [CHRISTINA van Brederode (-after 1203). “Christina comitissa de Lienden uxor Willelmi qui nunc agit in Terra Sancta cum Theodorico domino de Brederode fratre meo” donated property "cum silvis et dominio Armenvorst", granted by "domina Margarita matre mea", to Köln St Clement by charter dated Nov 1203 witnessed by "Bernardus comes de Lip, Willelmus dominus de Brederode…dominus Joannes de Arckel…"[334]. Accoding to Butkens in his Annales Généalogiques de la Maison de Lynden, the donor’s husband was Willem [II] Heer van Linden[335]. If that is correct, Christina could not have been “comitissa” by right of her husband. There appear to be two possible explanations. Firstly, she could have been the widow of a count, who was her first husband, and continued to use the title for the rest of her life, in line with common practice at the time. Secondly, the charter in question is spurious. The dubious nature of the charter is also suggested by other factors. The document represents the only reference to this early Brederode family group. It also gives the comital title to Bernhard Herr zur Lippe, which suggests it may be anachronistic. In addition, Butkens in his 1626 work reproduces the charter in medieval German[336], which is clearly anachronistic and suggests some later manipulation of the document. Butkens’s document is one of several supposed early medieval German charters included in his compilation. The suspicion is that this whole series of documents was fabricated to provide a more illustrious ancestry for the Linden family which is the subject of the work. [m firstly --- Graaf van ---.] m [secondly] WILLEM [II] Heer van Linden, son of FLORIS Heer van Linden & his wife Agnes van Wachtendonk.]

2. [WILLEM van Brederode (-after 1203). Heer van Brederode. “Christina comitissa de Lienden uxor Willelmi qui nunc agit in Terra Sancta cum Theodorico domino de Brederode fratre meo” donated property "cum silvis et dominio Armenvorst", granted by "domina Margarita matre mea", to Köln St Clement by charter dated Nov 1203 witnessed by "Bernardus comes de Lip, Willelmus dominus de Brederode…dominus Joannes de Arckel…"[337]. No family relationship between the donor and the witness Willem van Brederode is specified. The absence of Christina’s father in the body of the document indicates that he was deceased. It is possible that Willem was Christina’s paternal uncle, named Heer van Brederode jointly with her brother.]

[Three] brothers. Their parents have not yet been identified. The chronology appears stretched for their father to have been Dirk [I] Heer van Brederode, who was already adult in 1203 as indicated above.

1. WILLEM [I] van Brederode (-3 Jun 1285). Wilhelm King of Germany [Willem II Count of Holland] granted property to "consanguinei nostri…Willelmi de Breitenrode" by charter dated 30 Dec 1248[338].

Floris V Count of Holland listed his nobles, including “...Heer Willem van Brederode...Ridderen”, in a charter dated 1 Apr 1277[345]. "Willaem here van Brederode ridder" granted property to "minen…zoen Willaem, dien ic hebbe bi Morgrieten, wilen dochter eens edels mans tsheren Daniels van der Marwede des ridders" by charter dated 12 Mar 1283[346]. m (after 1244, maybe before Jan 1250) as her second husband, HILDEGUNDE van Voorne, widow of COSTIJN van Renesse, daughter of HENDRIK Heer van Voorne & his wife --- ([1220/25]-5 Apr 1302). Her two marriages are indicated by the charter dated 7 Feb 1292 under which [her son] "Johannes de Renisse miles" swore allegiance to Floris V Count of Holland, naming “Johannem de Renisse filium meum et Johannem filium quondam domini Costini de Renisse militis fratris mei bone memorie...dominum Theodericum de Brederode militem fratrem meum” as fiduciaries[347]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. Mistress (1): MARGARETHA van de Merwede, daughter of DANIEL van de Merwede & his wife ---.

a) DIRK [II] van Brederode (-Reims 16 Dec 1318, bur Reims Dominican Church). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified but his succession to Brederode suggests that he was the son of Willem [I]. Heer van Brederode.

The wording of this document strongly suggests that the grantor was not married to the grantee´s mother.

2. [DIRK van Brederode (-after 24 Oct 1268). "Willelmus de Brederoda...Theodericus de Brederode milites..." witnessed the charter dated 3 Feb 1251 under which Wilhelm King of Germany [Willem II Count of Holland] issued instructions relating to Middelburgh abbey[349]. The document does not specify any family relationship between the two witnesses. They may have been brothers or father and son. "...Dern Diderick van Brederode, ridders…" witnessed the charter dated 24 Oct 1268 of Floris V Count of Holland[350].]

3. FLORIS van Brederode (-after 9 Oct 1270). A charter dated 9 Oct 1270 records that "viri nobiles Johannes de Husdune et Theodericus frater suus" invaded the city of Köln, Jan being killed in the conflict and Dirk captured and ransomed, Floris V Count of Holland confirming the settlement reached by "…dominos Willelmum et Florencium fratres de Brederode…" to obtain his release[351].

DIRK [II] van Brederode, son of WILLEM [I] Heer van Brederode & his wife Hildegunde van Voorne (-Reims 16 Dec 1318, bur Reims Dominican Church). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified but his succession to Brederode suggests that he was the son of Willem [I]. Heer van Brederode. “Dirck Heere van Brederode” reached agreement with Jan I Count of Holland concerning “’t huys tot Wateringe” by charter dated 28 Sep 1298[352]. “Haren Diederic Heere van Brederode...Ridders” is named in the charter dated 16 Sep 1300 under which “Jan van der Wateringhe” swore allegiance to Jan II Count of Holland[353]. A charter dated 11 Aug 1305 records that Willem III Count of Holland summoned his nobles to The Hague, witnessed by “Didericus de Brederode...”[354]. “Heer Dirck, Heere van Brederode” and “Vrouwen Elsebeen, Heeren Willems wyfe was van Brederode” agreed the dower of the latter by charter dated 26 Dec 1316[355]. Goethals records his death at Reims “le 16 janvier 1318 à son retour de la Terre-Sainte” and his burial “aux Dominicains de cette ville”, without citing sources which confirm this information[356].

m MARIA van de Leck, daughter of HENDRIK [I] Heer van de Leck & [his wife Jutta van Borselen] ([after 1272]-1 Mar 1307). Goethals records that Dirk van Brederode married “Marie dame de La Lecke, décédée en 1307, fille de Henri Polanen seigneur dudit lieu”, without citing sources which confirm this information[357]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that Maria was Hendrik’s known wife Jutta van Borselen, a suggestion which appears consistent with the marriage date of her son Hendrik.

Dirk [II] & his wife had two children:

1. HENDRIK van Brederode (-1345). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified but his succession to Brederode suggests that he was the son of Dirk [II]. Heer van Brederode. “Katrin Vrouwe van Voirne ende van Teylinghe” granted property to “Heynric van Brederoede onse...zwagher...ende...Joncvrou Isebeel sinen...wive der Joncvrouwen van Brederode onse...nichten” for life, in the presence of “onse...sone die Here van Voirne Burchgrave van Zeeland [...Gherit], ende Haer Daniel van der Marwede...”, by charter dated 25 Dec 1325[358].

Jean de Hainaut Seigneur de Beaumont and Gerard van Voorne Burggraaf van Zeeland confirmed the marriage contract between “Henric van Brederode” and “Joncvrouwe Ysenbeel van Fonteynes onser...nichten”, mentioning the dowry agreed by “haren broeder den Here van Fonteynes sonsen...neve”, by charter dated 6 Apr 1321[360]. Willem III Count of Holland confirmed “dat Huys ende die hofstede te Brederode” would pass to “Dirik van Brederode” should “Hair Henric Here van Brederode, zyn oom” die childless, while guaranteeing the life interest in property of “Isabiele onser nichten der Vrouwen van Brederode”, by charter dated 18 Oct 1333[361].

2. WILLEM van Brederode (-1316). Goethals records his parentage and notes his death in 1316, without citing sources which confirm this information[362]. Willem’s parentage is indicated by the 18 Oct 1333 charter quoted below which names his supposed son as future successor of his supposed brother Hendrik. m ([1311]) as her second husband, ELISABETH von Kleve, daughter of DIETRICH LUF von Kleve & his second wife Lisa von Virneburg ([1290/95]-after 1363). “Heer Dirck, Heere van Brederode” and “Vrouwen Elsebeen, Heeren Willems wyfe was van Brederode” agreed the dower of the latter by charter dated 26 Dec 1316[363]. Her family origin is indicated by the 26 Feb 1339 document quoted below. She married secondly (1326, Papal dispensation 13 Jan 1330) Konrad von der Mark. Pope John XXII granted dispensation for the marriage between "nobili viri Conradi de Marka militis" and “nobilis mulieris Elizabet de Brederode Colon. dioc.” despite their 4° consanguinity, dated 13 Jan 1330[364]. Pope Benedict XII permitted "nobilis vir Conradus de Marka dominus de Huerde" and “nobilis mulier Elizabeth de Clivo eius uxor” to found “monasterium monialium ordinis S. Clare in dicto opido de Huerde”, dated 26 Feb 1339[365]. Willem & his wife had [two] children:

a) DIRK [III] van Brederode ([1312/16]-22 Sep 1377, bur [Haarlem Carmelites or Rijnsburg]). His parentage is suggested by the following document: Willem III Count of Holland confirmed “dat Huys ende die hofstede te Brederode” would pass to “Dirik van Brederode” should “Hair Henric Here van Brederode, zyn oom” die childless, while guaranteeing the life interest in property of “Isabiele onser nichten der Vrouwen van Brederode”, by charter dated 18 Oct 1333[366]. Heer van Brederode. Goethals records his death 22 Sep 1377 and his burial “aux Carmes à Harlem”, contradicting himself in the next sentence by recording the burial of Dirk and his wife “à Rynsburg”, without citing sources which confirm this information[367]. m BEATRIX van Valkenburg , daughter of REINOLD Heer van Valkenburg Seigneur de Montjoie & his wife Maria van Boutersem (-1354, bur [Rijnsburg]). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 1340 under which "Wilhelmo comite Hannoniæ, Hollandiæ" guaranteed "Theodorico domino de Brederode" that he would transmit the lordship of Brederode to "filium huius domini primogenitum ex uxore sua Beatrice de Valkenburch"[368]. A charter dated 1365 records the sale of "dominii Falcoburgensis" by "Wenceslaus von Boeme…Hertoge, ende Johanna…Hertoginne van Luxemborg, van Lothryck, van Brabant, van Limborch…" to "Heere Diederick Heere van Brederode ende syn kinderen…Reynaut, Willem en Walaenen" which names "die Vrauwen Beatrissen van Valckenbourch…moeder synder voors. kinderen, ende Vrouwe Marie van Valkenb. Abdissen van Maubeugen gesusteren" and the late "Heer Jans, Heere van Valckenboerg…haers broeders"[369]. Goethals records her death in 1354 and her burial with her husband “à Rynsburg”, without citing the sources which confirm this information[370]. Some doubt about Beatrix’s place of burial is suggested by Goethals’s contradictory statements regarding her husband’s burial. Dirk [III] & his wife had three children:

i) REINALD van Brederode (-1390). A charter dated 1365 records the sale of "dominii Falcoburgensis" by "Wenceslaus von Boeme…Hertoge, ende Johanna…Hertoginne van Luxemborg, van Lothryck, van Brabant, van Limborch…" to "Heere Diederick Heere van Brederode ende syn kinderen…Reynaut, Willem en Walaenen" which names "die Vrauwen Beatrissen van Valckenbourch…moeder synder voors. kinderen..."[371]. Heer van Brederode.

iii) WALAENEN van Brederode . A charter dated 1365 records the sale of "dominii Falcoburgensis" by "Wenceslaus von Boeme…Hertoge, ende Johanna…Hertoginne van Luxemborg, van Lothryck, van Brabant, van Limborch…" to "Heere Diederick Heere van Brederode ende syn kinderen…Reynaut, Willem en Walaenen" which names "die Vrauwen Beatrissen van Valckenbourch…moeder synder voors. kinderen..."[373].

b) [KATHARINA van Brederode (-28 Jun 1372). The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Goethals indicates that Katharina was the daughter of Dirk [III] van Brederode[374]. Considering the marriage of her second son in 1348, this suggestion is impossible chronologically. It seems more likely that Katharina was the daughter of Willem van Brederode, and was born in [1312/16]. m JAN [II] van Duivenvoorde Heer van Polanen, son of PHILIP van Duivenvoorde & his wife --- (-26 Sep 1342).]

The following reconstruction of this family is an outline which shows selected family members only, mainly for hyperlinking to other families studied in Medieval Lands.

IJsselstein is located in the western suburbs of Nieuwegein, south of the town of Utrecht, in the present-day Dutch province of Utrecht. The Heren van IJsselstein were descended from the Heren van Amstel.

I. HEREN van de LECK

The heerlijkheid van de Leck was located along the Lek river, between Krimpenerwaard and Alblasserwaard, in the present-day Dutch province of Zuid-Holland near the border with the province of Utrecht. After the extinction of the family in the male line in 1342, the heerlijkheid reverted to the counts of Holland who later granted it to the Heren van Polanen, who were descended from the paternal aunt of the last Heer van de Leck.

1. PIETER [I] (-after 26 Oct 1235). Heer van de Leck. "Petrus dominus de Lecka" noted that "Wilhelmus tutor Hollandie" granted property to "fideli meo Wilhelmo domino de Striene" by charter dated 26 Oct 1235[455].

The marriage contract of "Petrus de Borsalia miles...Jutte filie mee" and “Henrico de Lecke” is dated 26 Oct 1271[465]. As Hendrik [I] was named in charters from 1243, when he was presumably a young adult, this marriage is late for someone of his age. Two alternative explanations are possible, either this was Hendrik [I]’s second marriage or the person named Hendrik [I] in this document in fact represented two individuals of the same name. Hendrik [I] & his wife had [two] children:

i) [PIETER [II] van de Leck (-after 30 Mar 1326). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, but from a chronological point of view he could have been the son of Hendrik [I] van de Leck.

ii) MARIA van de Leck ([after 1272]-1 Mar 1307). Goethals records that Dirk van Brederode married “Marie dame de La Lecke, décédée en 1307, fille de Henri Polanen seigneur dudit lieu”, without citing sources which confirm this information[473]. The primary source which confirms her parentage and marriage has not been identified. Her birth date is estimated on the assumption that Maria was Hendrik’s known wife Jutta van Borselen, a suggestion which appears consistent with the marriage date of her son Hendrik. m DIRK [II] Heer van Brederode, son of WILLEM [I] Heer van Brederode & his wife Hildegunde van Voorne (-Reims 16 Dec 1318).

The heerlijkheid of Bergen op Zoom was formed from part of the territory of the heerlijkheid of Breda (see Part B. of the present Chapter).

Vrouw van Bergen op Zoom. “Isabeau de Sevenberge fille de feu Gerard van Wesemal seigneur de Merxem avec Gerard de Sevenberge son mary” confirmed having sold property inherited from “dame Ieanne de Valkenborch et de Berges sur le Soom” to Jean II Duke of Brabant by charter dated [2] Oct 1349[760]. m (Papal dispensation 12 Jan 1321, before 12 Sep 1341) JAN van Valkenburg, son of REINOLD Heer van Valkenburg & his wife Maria van Boutersem (-9 Aug 1352).

2. GERARD [III] van Wesemaal (-[7 Sep 1331/24 Sep 1347]). Heer van Schooten en Merxem. See BRABANT LOUVAIN for the sources which name Gerard [III], his two wives, and his children by his second wife. Gerard [III] & his first wife had one child:

a) GERARD [IV] van Wesemaal (before 1310-[Sep 1331/1336?]). [Heer van Schooten en Merxem.] See BRABANT LOUVAIN for the sources which name Gerard [IV] and his wife. Gerard [IV] & his wife had one child:

HENDRIK [VII] Heer van Boutersem, son of HENDRIK [VI] Heer van Boutersem & his wife Katharina van Gronsfeld (-before 13 Sep 1371). Jacques de Hemricourt names “mess. Henry...chevalier” as son of “mess. Henry sires de Badresen” and his wife, adding that he sold “la terre de Badresen” and was awarded “la...terre de Berghes sor le Zome” by a court in Brussels[761]. Heer van Bergen op Zoom: Butkens records that Hendrik swore homage to Jean III Duke of Brabant for Bergen op Zoom by charter dated 24 Aug 1352 (no source cited)[762]. Over the following years, Hendrik bought rights to Bergen op Zoom from other potential heirs in the Wesemaal family, Butkens recording that, after the death of Johanna van Voorne, “la terre de Berges retourna à sa mere Mathilde” who with her second husband sold it to Hendrik [VII] Heer van Boutersem in 1353, and that “Gerard de Wesemale Sire de Merchem son beaufrere” ceded his rights in Bergen op Zoom “comme plus apparent heritier” to Hendrik [VII] (no sources cited)[763]. “Heere Henricke Berthout Heer van Duffle ende van Gele, Heere Henricke van Bouterssem Heer van Bergen opten Soom...Heer Geeraerd vander Heyden Heer van Bouterssem, Heeren Geeraert Heer van Vosselaer...” witnessed the charter dated 1357 which records an agreement between Wenzel King of Bohemia, Duke of Brabant, Guillaume Comte de Hainaut and Louis Count of Flanders[764].

m MARIA van Wesemaal Vrouw van ½ Merxem, Schooten en Brecht, daughter of GERARD [IV] van Wesemaal [Heer van Merxem] & his wife Maria van Wilre (-after 1390). Butkens records Maria “Dame de Merchem, Scooten, Brecht, Wesele, Wilre” as the daughter of Maria van Wilre (no sources cited)[765], who as noted above is confirmed as the wife of Gerard [IV] van Wesemaal. This affiliation is confirmed by the transmission of the heerlijkheid Brecht from mother to daughter. Vandeputte & Devos also record the transmission of the heerlijkheid Wuustwezel (= “Wesele” named by Butkens?) from the Wilre to Boutersem families, stating that “Leysa”, daughter of “Ridder Nicolaas van Grobbendonk” who held “de heerlijkheid Wuustwezel en Westdoorn” in the 13th century, married “een Wilre”, while Hendrik [VII] van Boutersem was recorded in 1362 as “heer van Wuustwezel” (no sources cited)[766]. Butkens records that Hendrik [VII] married “Marie de Wesemaele Dame de Merchem, Schooten, Wilre, Wesele” who was named as a widow in 1378 (no citation reference)[767]. “Domina Maria de Merxhem, domina de Bergis supra Zomam…et Gerardum de Bergis ejus filium legitimum et quo ad hoc ejus mamburnum” made relief 10 May [13]86 for “bona de Boecte, sita in parochia de Soelre”, inherited from “domina Maria quondam de Wilre, mater dicte domine Marie” who held it on her death[768].

Hendrik [VII] & his wife had four children:

1. HENDRIK [VIII] van Boutersem (-before 21 Mar 1419). Jacques de Hemricourt names “mess. Henry sires de Berghes” as son of “mess. Henry sires de Badresen” and his wife[769]. Heer van Bergen op Zoom. Damen records his parentage, some details of his career, and his date of death[770]. m (contract 13 May 1356) BEATRIX van Polanen, daughter of [JAN [III] Heer van Polanen, de Leck, en Breda & his first wife Oda van Horne]. Jacques de Hemricourt records that “mess. Henry sires de Berghes” married “alle filhe le saingnor delle Leke”[771]. Butkens notes the marriage contract between Hendrik [VIII] and “Beatrice de Polaenen fille du Sire de Breda” dated “l’an 1356 jour de S. Servais” (no citation reference)[772]. Secondary sources indicate that Beatrix was the daughter of Jan [III] van Polanen and his first wife, but the 1348 Papal dispensation for that couple’s marriage indicates that she must have been an infant in 1356. The text of the 13 May 1356 marriage contract has not been found to confirm her parentage. Hendrik [VIII] & his wife had four children:

a) HENDRIK [IX] van Boutersem (-before 21 Mar 1419). Jacques de Hemricourt names “monss. Henry” as the son of “mess. Henry sires de Berghes” and his wife[773]. Heer van Bergen op Zoom.

Butkens notes Hendrik [IX]’s two marriages, firstly with “Ienne d’Aa dict de Gruthuse Dame de Grimberge et Walhain” and secondly in 1408 with “Ienne de Witthem veufve de Franc Sire de Melin, Evere” (no citation references)[776]. Damen notes a document dated 9 May 1414 which names her and her husband[777]. Hendrik [IX] & his first wife had one child:

The testament of “domicelli Joannis de Glymes, domini temporalis de Berghe supra Zoniam et de Melyn”, dated 1427 (vidimus dated 16 Jul 1462), bequeathed property to “dame Jeanne de Bautersem son épouse...”[778]. A document dated 1429 records that “domicella Johanna de Bergis supra Zoniam domina et de Grimbergis et Melyn filia quondam domini Henrici de Berghis militis et domicellus Joannes de Glymes eius maritus” owed money to “domicello Balduino de Glymes domino de Glymes filio quondam domini Joannis domini de Glymes militis, fratrique prefati domicelli Joannis”[779]. m (1418) JAN van Glymes, son of JAN Heer van Glymes & his wife Isabelle van Grave (-1427).

2. GERARD van Boutersem (-27 Mar 1405, bur Brussels Franciscan church). Jacques de Hemricourt names “Gerars” as the second son of “mess. Henry sires de Badresen” and his wife, adding that he was “novellement marieis”[783]. “Domina Maria de Merxhem, domina de Bergis supra Zomam…et Gerardum de Bergis ejus filium legitimum et quo ad hoc ejus mamburnum” made relief 10 May [13]86 for “bona de Boecte, sita in parochia de Soelre”, inherited from “domina Maria quondam de Wilre, mater dicte domine Marie” who held it on her death[784].

B. HEREN van BREDA

The medieval heerlijkheid of Breda is today located in the western part of the Noord-Brabant province in The Netherlands. From the early 8th century, the area is recorded within the pagus Toxandria or Texandria, which lay south of the river Maas, east of the river Escaut, and north of the river Dyle in northern Belgium: by charter dated 21 May 709 “Aengilbertus filius Gaotberto” donated property “in pago Texandrie in loco...Alfheim quod mihi ex paterno iure legitime advenit” to Willibrord Bishop of Utrecht, subscribed by “...Aengilbertus, Werengatto frater eius...”[798]. No other charter relating to the area has been identified until the document dated 24 Jan 966 under which Emperor Otto I confirmed donations to the convent of Nivelles including "hereditas sancta Gertrudis…in pago Tessandrio super fluvio Struona in villa…Bergon"[799]. In the later 10th century, the area formed one of the counties ruled by Ansfrid [II] (later Bishop of Utrecht, see the document LOWER LOTHARINGIA NOBILITY, March of Antwerp): the Chronicon Laureshamense describes the church of Empel, near ‘s-Hertogenbosch, as "in pago Dehsendron in præsidatu Ansfridi comitis", referring to its foundation by the bishop of Liège dated to 969[800]. It appears likely that, around the same time that Ansfrid resigned as count and was appointed bishop in 995, Emperor Otto II established the March of Antwerp which included the area of Breda. By the mid-12th century, Breda was under the suzerainty of the Dukes of Brabant, as shown by the charter dated to [25 Dec 1158/23 Sep 1159] under which Godefroi III Duke of Brabant confirmed the donation of “allodium...in Esschen” made to Tongerlo by “nobilis Bernerus...de Riseberga” which was subscribed by “...Godefridus de Breda...”[801]. The outline genealogy of the Heren van Breda contained in Europäische Stammtafeln is in many respects inconsistent with the primary sources[802].

It is not known whether the following two individuals were related, although the contiguity of their names in the charter quoted below suggests a family relationship. Maybe they were brothers. They are not described as “domini de Breda” in the only source in which they are named.

1. ARNULF van Breda (-after 1125). “...Arnulfus ac Ingelbertus de Breda...” witnessed the charter dated 1125 under which "Balduinus de Alost ac frater meus Iwanus" donated "ecclesiam de Herenbaldeghem" to Affleghem abbey[803].

2. ENGELBERT [I] van Breda (-after 1125). “...Arnulfus ac Ingelbertus de Breda...” witnessed the charter dated 1125 under which "Balduinus de Alost ac frater meus Iwanus" donated "ecclesiam de Herenbaldeghem" to Affleghem abbey[804].

1. [GERARD] van Breda (-before 1152). Europäische Stammtafeln names Gerard as the husband of Beatrix de Laroche[805]. No primary source has yet been identified which confirms that this name is correct. Europäische Stammtafeln also names Gerard as the son of “Heinrich I von Brunesheim, 1116 Hr in Groot-Zundert (1125†)” and brother of “Baldus de Laere”, but no primary source has been identified which confirms that this information is correct. It appears more likely that [Gerard] was the son of either Arnulf van Breda or Engelbert van Breda who are named above. m BEATRIX de Laroche, daughter of HENRI [I] de Namur Comte de la Roche & his wife Mathilde de Limbourg (-after 1152). The Chronicon Hanonense names "Beatrix" as daughter of "Henri…quens de Durbuis" and her husband "Winant le signour de Hufalise"[806], although according to Europäische Stammtafeln[807] the wife of Winand van Gronsfeld Heer van Houffalize was Beatrix de Walcourt, daughter of Thierry de Walcourt & his wife Mathilde de Laroche, who was this Beatrix's sister. Her correct marriage is indicated by the charter dated 1152 under which "Heinricus comes de Rupe" confirmed the donation of "capellam…in silva Fredier" to the abbey of Saint-Hubert, Ardenne, made by "matris mee Mathildis comitesse et Godefridi fratris mei", subscribed by "Elizabeth comitissa conjux mea, Beatrix soror mea et Godefridus filius eius de Brida…"[808]. Gerard & his wife had two children:

a) GODEFRID [I] van Breda (-after [1 Jan/24 Mar] 1161). His maternal uncle "Heinricus comes de Rupe" confirmed the donation of "capellam…in silva Fredier" to the abbey of Saint-Hubert, Ardenne, made by "matris mee Mathildis comitesse et Godefridi fratris mei", by charter dated 1152, subscribed by "Elizabeth comitissa conjux mea, Beatrix soror mea et Godefridus filius eius de Brida…"[809]. “...Godefridus de Breda...” subscribed the charter dated to [25 Dec 1158/23 Sep 1159] under which Godefroi III Duke of Brabant confirmed the donation of “allodium...in Esschen” made to Tongerlo by “nobilis Bernerus...de Riseberga”[810]. "Godefridus de Breda et Henricus frater eius…" witnessed a charter dated 1160 under which "Godefridus…dux Lotharingiæ" confirmed donations to the abbey of Villers[811]. Godefroi III Duke of Brabant confirmed that “Engelbertus de Scotes” had donated “allodium suum...Scotis” to Villers by charter dated [1 Jan/24 Mar] 1161, witnessed by “Godefridus de Breda et Henricus frater eius...”[812].

b) HENDRIK van Breda (-after [1 Jan/24 Mar] 1161). "Godefridus de Breda et Henricus frater eius…" witnessed a charter dated 1160 under which "Godefridus…dux Lotharingiæ" confirmed donations to the abbey of Villers[813]. Godefroi III Duke of Brabant confirmed that “Engelbertus de Scotes” had donated “allodium suum...Scotis” to Villers by charter dated [1 Jan/24 Mar] 1161, witnessed by “Godefridus de Breda et Henricus frater eius...”[814]. Europäische Stammtafeln indicates that Hendrik was the same person as Hendrik van Schoten who is named below[815]. This does not appear likely to be correct given the probability that Engelbert van Schoten was the father of Hendrik van Schoten as suggested below. same person as...? HENDRIK [I] van Breda (-[after 7 Sep 1179]). Under a lost charter dated to [1164/Aug 1179] “Florentius comes Hollandrie, Walterus Bertolt, Henricus de Breda...” granted freedom from tolls in their lands to the abbey of St. Michiel, Antwerp[816]. This grant is also referred to in a bull issued by Pope Alexander III dated 7 Sep 1179[817].

The relationship between the Schoten family shown below and the earlier Breda family has not been ascertained. The name Engelbert clearly provides a link with Engelbert [I] van Breda who is shown above. The name “Breda” is first associated with Hendrik [II] van Schoten. One possibility is that his wife Christina was the heiress of Breda, maybe the daughter of Hendrik [I] Heer van Breda. Another possibility is that Engelbert [II] van Schoten and Hendrik [I] Heer van Breda were cousins, the descendants of the former inheriting Breda after the latter died without direct heirs.

1. ENGELBERT [II] van Schoten (-after [1 Jan/24 Mar] 1161). Europäische Stammtafeln names Engelbert van Schoten as the possible brother of [Gerard] van Breda, husband of Beatrix de Laroche, who is named above[818]. No indication has been found which indicates that this affiliation may be correct. Henri Bishop of Liège confirmed donations to Villers abbey, including the donation of property “in eodem alodio de Villers” made by “Anselmus de Hunefes et Engelbertus de Scotel” by charter dated [4 Mar/23 Sep] 1153[819]. Godefroi III Duke of Brabant confirmed that “Engelbertus de Scotes” had donated “allodium suum...Scotis” to Villers by charter dated [1 Jan/24 Mar] 1161, witnessed by “Godefridus de Breda et Henricus frater eius, Willelmus de Dungleberc et Gerardus frater eius, Gerardus de marbas, Balduinus frater eius, et Paganus de Marbais...”[820].

2. HENDRIK [II] van Schoten (-[1187/92]). It is likely that Hendrik [II] van Schoten was the son of Engelbert [II] van Schoten, although no primary source has been identified which confirms that this speculation is correct. Engelbert [I] van Schoten was closely related to Hendrik [II], as shown by the charter dated to [1/28] Mar 1209 under which Henri I Duke of Brabant confirmed that “Godefridus de Scottis” resigned rights in “allodio de Scottis”, donated to Villers abbey by “Engelberto de Scottis” [Engelbert [II] van Schoten] and confirmed by “pater meus”[821]. “Henricus de Scoten et uxor mea Christina et filii mei Godefridus, Henricus, Iacobus et Ingelbertus” donated “iuris et dominii in tota terra Crabbendic” to Ter Doest abbey by charter dated 1187, witnessed by “Philippus comes Flandrie...”[822]. “Henricus de Scoten” granted toll exemptions to Ter Doest abbey by charter dated to 1187 or soon afterwards[823]. The editors of the Oorkondenboek Noord-Brabant note that the donor names himself “de Breda” on his seal attached to this document. m CHRISTINA, daughter of --- (-after 1187). “Henricus de Scoten et uxor mea Christina et filii mei Godefridus, Henricus, Iacobus et Ingelbertus” donated “iuris et dominii in tota terra Crabbendic” to Ter Doest abbey by charter dated 1187, witnessed by “Philippus comes Flandrie...”[824]. No documentary evidence has been found indicating Christina’s family origin. However, her son’s inheritance of Breda, and her husband being named “de Breda” in the source referred to above, suggest that she may have been heiress of the the heerlijkheid of Breda. If that is correct, she may have been the daughter of Hendrik [I] Heer van Breda who is named above. Hendrik [II] & his wife had four children:

a) GODEFRID [II] van Schoten (-[1216/14 Apr 1218]). “Henricus de Scoten et uxor mea Christina et filii mei Godefridus, Henricus, Iacobus et Ingelbertus” donated “iuris et dominii in tota terra Crabbendic” to Ter Doest abbey by charter dated 1187, witnessed by “Philippus comes Flandrie...”[825]. Henri I Duke of Brabant confirmed privileges to the burgers of Vilvoorde, including rights “in allodio de Filfordia...Mersc...ab allodio domini Godefridi de Scoten in Percke”, by charter dated 1192, witnessed by “Albertus comes de Danesberge [not yet identified], Arnoldus de Diest, Gerardus et Arnoldus frater eius de Grymbergen, Daniel de Crayenhem, Reynerus de Ruysbroeck et Willellmus frater eorum, castellanus de Bruxella, Arnoldus de Wesenale...”[826].

GODEFRID [II] van Schoten [van Breda], son of HENDRIK [II] van Schoten & his wife Christina --- (-[1216/14 Apr 1218]). “Henricus de Scoten et uxor mea Christina et filii mei Godefridus, Henricus, Iacobus et Ingelbertus” donated “iuris et dominii in tota terra Crabbendic” to Ter Doest abbey by charter dated 1187, witnessed by “Philippus comes Flandrie...”[833].

m (before [1198]) LUTGARDE van Kuyc, daughter of HENDRIK [II] van Kuyc van Malsen & his wife Sophia van Renen (-before [21 Mar 1231/10 Apr 1232]). “Godefridus de Scoten” acknowledged holding “castellum de Breda cum omni allodio...infra locum...Haga” from Henri I Duke of Brabant and his wife by charter dated to [1198] which provides that “uxori mee” would hold the usufruct should he die “sine herede”[843]. “Godefridus de Scoten” confirmed that “Walterus de Cruninghe” had donated property “in...terra de Morlodenesse inter Morlode et Wranga et Crabbendiche et Hinthecline” to Te Doest abbey, and that he “et uxor mea Luthghardis et frater meus Engelbertus” also donated their rights in the same property, by charter dated 14 Feb 1203[844]. “Godefridus dominus de Breda...et uxor mea Lutgardis” donated “allodium nostrum in Alfem” to Tongerlo by charter dated 1204, witnessed by “Witgerus castellanus de Breda et fratres eius Heio et Basilius...”[845]. “Luthgardis...domina de Breda et Godefridus filius meus” confirmed the resolution of a dispute between “vir nobilis Iohannes de Mere” and Villers abbey by charter dated [24 Mar 1217/14 Apr 1218][846]. “Lutgardis domina de Scotis” donated “duodecim libras Flandrensis monete...apud Serber et...apud Perke loco...Bukt” to Antwerp St. Michiel, for the souls of “viri nobilis Godefridi domini de Scoten quondam mariti mei et mea et animabus patris et matris mee, et domini Godefridi quondam Traiectensis episcopi et Gerlaci fratris ipsius...a quibus bona...michi remanserunt”, with the consent of “liberis meis...Godefrido, Egidio, Henrico, Sophia et Beatrice”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1219[847]. A charter dated [21 Mar 1231/10 Apr 1232] confirms the testament of “Ludgarde domina de Breeda” made with the consent of “dominus Godefridus filius eius quamdiu vixit”, with the consent of “dominus Egidius frater predicti Godefridi, tutor filiorum fratris eiusdem...et dominus Henricus frater, maior in Traiecto decanus”[848].

Godefrid [II] & his wife had five children:

1. GODEFRID [III] van Breda ([1198/1200]-1227). His approximate birth date is suggested by his mother’s presence in the charter dated [24 Mar 1217/14 Apr 1218] quoted below, which suggests that Godefrid was still a minor at the time, read with the charter dated 1219 in which he acted in his own name. Heer van Breda. “Luthgardis...domina de Breda et Godefridus filius meus” confirmed the resolution of a dispute between “vir nobilis Iohannes de Mere” and Villers abbey by charter dated [24 Mar 1217/14 Apr 1218][849]. “Lutgardis domina de Scotis” donated “duodecim libras Flandrensis monete...apud Serber et...apud Perke loco...Bukt” to Antwerp St. Michiel, with the consent of “liberis meis...Godefrido, Egidio, Henrico, Sophia et Beatrice”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1219[850]. “Godefridus dominus de Breda” confirmed that “quidam homines de Valkenissa” sold property to Ten Duinen abbey, and settled a dispute with “Heina de Berga”, by charter dated 1219[851]. A charter dated May 1223 records that Henri I Duke of Brabant confirmed “castrum et villa de Breda” to “Godefridus de Scoten”, just as “Godefridus pater dicti Godefridi” had held Breda, and confirmed navigation rights “in Scalda et Strena”[852]. Henri I Duke of Brabant confirmed the settlement of a dispute between Villers abbey and “dominum Godefridum de Schotis” by charter dated 17 Jan 1226[853]. “Godefridus dominus de Breda...et dominus Henricus frater meus prepositus Cellensis” confirmed donations by charter dated 31 Jan 1226[854]. “Godefridus dominus de Breda” donated “decimam quam Iohannes de Mere miles a mei tenet in feodo...in parrochia de Marxhem” to Villers by charter dated [Jan/24 Apr] 1227[855]. m (before [1220]) as her first husband, ODA, daughter of --- (-13 Jul ----). The primary source which confirms the parentage of Godefrid´s wife has not yet been identified. The date of her marriage is estimated from the fact that her son Godefrid [IV] names his own son in his testament dated 1246 (see below). She married secondly (after 1227) Arnout [IV] Heer van Diest. Her second marriage is indicated by the testament of [her son] "Godefridus dominus de Breda", dated 1246, which names "Arnoldo de Diest fratri meo… " [on the assumption that he was Arnout [V] Heer van Diest][856]. Her name is confirmed by the Chronicon Diestense which records that “Arnoldus...quartus” married “Yoda”[857]. The necrology of Averbode records the death “III Id Jul” of “Yode domine de Dist que est hic sepulta”[858]. Godefrid [III] & his wife had two children:

a) HENDRIK [III] van Breda (-[Aug 1234/13 Jan 1235]). His parentage is confirmed by the charter dated Jul 1228 under which [his paternal uncle and guardian] “Egidius de Breda” confirmed that “vir nobilis Iohannes de Mere” held “in feodum de domino de Breda infra diccum apud Marxem”, held from “eiusdem domini de Breda Henrici...adhuc puer” with the consent of “tutoris sui mei...patrui eius”[859]. Heer van Breda en Schoten. “...Hermanns clericus domini Henrici de Breda...” witnessed the charter dated Aug 1234 under which Arnold Deacon of Antwerp confirmed an exchange of property[860]. His death is confirmed by a charter dated 25 Oct 1235 which relates to (among other matters) a dispute relating to property at “Berges” retained by “avocatus de Betunia racione filii nobilis viri Godefridi de Bredan novissime defuncti”[861].

b) GODEFRID [IV] van Breda (-25 Apr 1246). Heer van Breda. A charter dated 13 Jan 1235 records that “Henricus de Lovanio maior natus ducis Lottharingie” guaranteed the safety of “Godefrido vero heredi de Breda”[862]. Godefrid [IV] ruled under the guardianship of Robert [VII] de Béthune Heer van Dendermonde. It is unclear why Godefrid’s uncle Gillis van Breda no longer acted as guardian. No family relationship has been identified between Godefrid [IV] and Robert [VII], although as noted below Godefrid later married Robert’s daughter. Arnold Abbot of Antwerp St. Michiel and “Robertus Atrebatensis advocatus Bethuniensis ac Tenremundensis dominus et tutor Godefridi pueri de Breeda” reached agreement relating to “Zantflite” by charter dated May 1239[863]. “Godefridus dominus de Breda” granted land “agriculturam de Cambe” to “Wilhelmo” subject to his service “vel filiam nostram nuptui tradere” by charter dated Jun 1243[864]. The testament of “Godefridus [dominus] de Breda”, dated 25 Apr 1246, chose burial at “Predicatoribus in Antwerpia”, bequeathed property to “Arnoldo de Diest fratri meo...super villas Scothen, Marxem et Ekeren...Henrico filio meo unico”, refers to “uxor mea”, appoints as executors “viros nobiles advocatum Bethunensem, dominum Henricum dictum Berthot et dominum Willelmum de Grinbergis”[865]. Godefrid [IV] died on the same day, as shown by a charter of the same date which names “Godefridus bone memorie quondam dominus de Breeda”[866]. Pope Innocent IV recorded that “Arnoldus natus nobilis viri Arnoldi domini de Disth” showed that “Godefridus dominus de Bredal germanus eiusdem Arnoldi” had bequeathed property to him, despite the challenge made by “Henricus de Bredal canonicus Leodiensis”, by bull dated 17 May 1249[867]. m --- de Béthune, daughter of ROBERT [VII] de Béthune Heer van Dendermonde & his wife Elisabeth de Morialmes (-[before 7 Feb 1246]). Klaversma indicates that the marriage contract of Mathilde de Béthune and Guy de Dampierre dated 7 Feb 1246 specified that Mathilde would receive “trois cents livrees de terre que li [=her father Robert de Béthune] avois...en la terre de Termonde...Godefroi de Breda por sa fille que il a pris fame”[868]. The wording suggests that Godefrid’s wife was deceased at the time, which would explain why the property reverted to her sister. Europäische Stammtafeln names her “Clementia” (a name regularly used in the Béthune family), but the primary source on which this information is based has not been identified[869]. As Godefrid [IV] had two children before he died (one referred to in Jun 1243), it is likely that his wife was Robert [VII]’s oldest daughter, probably married before [1242]. Godefrid [IV] & his wife had two children:

i) daughter (-after Jun 1243). “Godefridus dominus de Breda” granted land “agriculturam de Cambe” to “Wilhelmo” subject to his service “vel filiam nostram nuptui tradere” by charter dated Jun 1243[870]. Presumably this daughter died soon afterwards unmarried as there is no question of her inheriting Breda.

ii) HENDRIK van Breda (-after 25 Apr 1246). The testament of “Godefridus [dominus] de Breda”, dated 25 Apr 1246, bequeathed property to “...Henrico filio meo unico”[871]. Hendrik must have died soon afterwards as his great-uncle Hendrik [IV] succeeded as Heer van Breda (see below).

2. GILLIS van Breda (-[May 1239/Apr 1246]). “Lutgardis domina de Scotis” donated “duodecim libras Flandrensis monete...apud Serber et...apud Perke loco...Bukt” to Antwerp St. Michiel, with the consent of “liberis meis...Godefrido, Egidio, Henrico, Sophia et Beatrice”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1219[872]. “Egidius de Breda” confirmed that “vir nobilis Iohannes de Mere” held “in feodum de domino de Breda infra diccum apud Marxem”, held from “eiusdem domini de Breda Henrici...adhuc puer” with the consent of “tutoris sui mei...patrui eius”, by charter dated Jul 1228[873]. A charter dated 1229 records an agreement between "dominum Egidium de Breda" and Ten Duinen abbey, confirmed by "Henricus…dux Lotharingiæ"[874]. A charter dated [21 Mar 1231/10 Apr 1232] confirms the testament of “Ludgarde domina de Breeda” made with the consent of “dominus Godefridus filius eius quamdiu vixit”, with the consent of “dominus Egidius frater predicti Godefridi, tutor filiorum fratris eiusdem...et dominus Henricus frater, maior in Traiecto decanus”[875]. A charter dated 6 Dec 1232 records an agreement between Henri I Duke of Brabant and “dominum Egidium de Breda” regarding the return of property to Antwerp St. Michiel, compensation paid to “domini Alberti de Kuyc et Arnoldi de Wesemale”, confirming that “dominus dux” would hold “castrum de Breda” subject to “iure omnium heredum” while “domini Raso de Gauera et Arnoldus de Walem, Walterus de Pulle et Walterus dapifer sumptus castri de Breda” would be paid revenue from the land at Breda for upkeep of the castle, and that if “relicta domini Godefridi de Breda” died Gillis de Breda would possess “dotis” as “legitimus tutor”, by charter dated 6 Dec 1232[876]. He was replaced as his nephew’s guardian as shown by the charter dated May 1239 which records an agreement between the abbot of Antwerp St.Michiel and “Robertus Atrebatensis advocatus Bethuniensis et Tenremundensis dominus et tutor Godefridi pueri de Breeda” regarding disputes concerning “Zantflite”, witnessed by “...vir nobilis Egidius de Breeda...milites”[877].

3. HENDRIK [IV] van Breda (-[23 Jun 1252/25 Jun 1255]). “Lutgardis domina de Scotis” donated “duodecim libras Flandrensis monete...apud Serber et...apud Perke loco...Bukt” to Antwerp St. Michiel, with the consent of “liberis meis...Godefrido, Egidio, Henrico, Sophia et Beatrice”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1219[878]. Provost of Celles: “Godefridus dominus de Breda...et dominus Henricus frater meus prepositus Cellensis” confirmed donations by charter dated 31 Jan 1226[879]. Deacon at Utrecht St. Martin: “Henricus frater meus decanus sancti Martini de inferiori Traiecto...” witnessed the charter dated Jul 1228 under which “Egidius de Breda” confirmed that “vir nobilis Iohannes de Mere” held “in feodum de domino de Breda infra diccum apud Marxem”, held from “eiusdem domini de Breda Henrici...adhuc puer” with the consent of “tutoris sui mei...patrui eius”[880]. A charter dated [21 Mar 1231/10 Apr 1232] confirms the testament of “Ludgarde domina de Breeda” made with the consent of “dominus Godefridus filius eius quamdiu vixit”, with the consent of “dominus Egidius frater predicti Godefridi, tutor filiorum fratris eiusdem...et dominus Henricus frater, maior in Traiecto decanus”[881]. He succeeded his nephew Godefrid [IV] as Heer van Breda. “Henricus dominus de Breda” granted property to “fideli nostro Henrico militi dicto Buffel” by charter dated 15 Jul 1246[882]. Oda Abbess of Nivelle and “Henricus dominus de Breda” reached agreement regarding “bonis de Bergen” by charter dated 18 Aug 1246[883]. Pope Innocent IV wrote to the archbishop of Köln regarding the excommunication of “Gobertum de Perewez quondam maiorem prepositem Traiectensem et Henricum de Breda Dauentrensem prepositum et maiorem decanum Traiectensem”” by bull dated 17 Aug 1246[884]. Canon at Liège: Pope Innocent IV recorded that “Arnoldus natus nobilis viri Arnoldi domini de Disth” showed that “Godefridus dominus de Bredal germanus eiusdem Arnoldi” had bequeathed property to him, despite the challenge made by “Henricus de Bredal canonicus Leodiensis”, by bull dated 17 May 1249[885]. Soon after the date of this document Hendrik [IV] resigned his ecclesiastical appointments to marry. “Henricus dominus de Breeda” confirmed that “Godefridus frater meus quondam dominus de Breeda et Godefridus filius dicti Godefridi et ego Henricus...heres et successor eorum” had donated property “apud Zantflite” to Antwerp St. Michiel by charter dated [1/26] Mar 1250[886]. “Henricus dominus de Breda...de consensu Elizabeth uxoris mee” donated “decimam meam apud Ekerne” to the curate of the church of Ekerne by charter dated 19 Jul 1251[887]. “Henricus dominus de Breda” granted privileges to the citizens of Breda by charter dated 23 Jun 1252[888]. m ([17 May 1249/1250]) as her first husband, ISABELLE [Elisabeth], daughter of ---. “Henricus dominus de Breda...de consensu Elizabeth uxoris mee” donated “decimam meam apud Ekerne” to the curate of the church of Ekerne by charter dated 19 Jul 1251[889]. No indication has been found of the family origin of Isabelle/Elisabeth. “Raso dominus de Lydekerke tutor Henrici directi heredis Heinrici bone memorie domini de Breda” granted “terram...Nuescakersloc” to “Balduino militi filio Popponis de Stauenisse” by charter dated 25 Jun 1255, sealed by “nobilis Ysabele matris Heinrici predicti domini de Breda”[890]. She married secondly (before Aug 1260) Pieter van Marbais Heer van Roseil. “Petrus miles de Marbaes et dominus de Roseel” granted property “in loco...Polre apud Bergen et...apud Wlte Wesel” to “Servatio filio Iuten”, with the consent of “Elisabeth domine de Breda uxoris ac domine mee”, by charter dated Aug 1260[891].

Her parentage, as well as the date of her marriage, is indicated by the charter dated Jan 1267 under which [her husband] “Henricus dominus terre de Breda” granted property to “Waltero de Zuinarde de Gandauo”, with the consent of “nobilis viri domini Walteri Berthout domini Machlinie patris uxoris nostre”[900]. “Walterus Berthoudt dominus de Mechlinia et Maria eius uxor” confirmed a donation made by “filia nostra Sophie relicta bone memorie Henrici quondam domini de Breda”, in pursuance of the dower arrangements made with “dominum Arnoldum de Lovanio et dominum Elisabeth uxorem eius dominos de Breda”, by charter dated [11 Apr 1270/4 Apr 1271][901]. A charter dated Nov 1286 records an agreement of the church of Mechelen signed by "domini Waltheri Berthaut domini Machliniensis, domini W. Berthaut eius primogeniti, et domicellæ Sophiæ dicti domini filiæ"[902]. “Sophia de Machlinia relicta felicis memoriæ Henrici quondam domini de Breda” founded a chapel at Mechelen, for the souls of “patris nostri Walteri Bertout domini de Machlinia, Henrici quondam mariti nostri prædicti domini de Breda...matris nostræ Mariæ”, committing to obtain the consent of “fratres nostros Walterum Bertout dominum de Machlinia, Wilhelmum præpositum Lovaniensem et Florentium dictos Bertout, Ægidium avunculum nostrum”, by charter dated Jun 1287[903]. She married secondly (after 1271) --- de Heverlé Seigneur de Ligny [les-Fleurus]. Her second marriage is indicated by the following two documents. “Damoiselle Sophie de Malines dame de Lignei”, noting a charter dated 20 Apr 1259 issued by “Gossuin de Haverech chevalier jadis saigneur de Lignei”, confirmed that “damoisele Anes et damoisele Biatrix...sererurs...dite Oilhetes” donated land “en sars de Serut” to Oignies by charter dated 12 Jun 1288[904]. “Sophie de Malines dame de Lignei” recorded that “Thiebaus de Lignei nos hom de fiet” had donated land “desous le tombe pardevers Lignei” to Oignies by charter dated 20 Sep 1289[905]. "Willelmus…episcopus Trajectensis" confirmed a donation to Pitsenburg by "quondam Sophia domicella de Breda, soror mea bonæ memoriæ" under her testament by charter dated 1299[906]. An inscription in the church at Mechelen ("antiqua ecclesia majoris Begginagii Mechliniensis") records the deaths of its founders, 19 May 1280 of "Maria vidua D. Waltheri de Berthaut domini Machliniensis" and 25 Feb 1299 of "Sophia de Breda eius filia vidua D. Henrici domini de Breda et de Bergis"[907].

b) ISABELLA van Breda (-10/11 Feb [1280/81]). The late 13th century genealogy by Balduinus de Avennis records that "de Lovanio…Arnulphus" married "hæredem terræ de Breda" but was childless[908]. The date of her marriage is established by the charter dated 5 Nov 1268 which is quoted below. Vrouw van Breda. “Yzenbele vrouwe van Breda...doihcter mins her Henrics, sheren van Breda, ende mine Arnout van Louene min...man, here van Breda ende min monbore” sold property by charter dated 1 May 1269[909]. "Arnoldus de Lovanio dominus de Breda et Elisabeth uxor eius" enfeoffed "fideli suo Nicolas de Cats militia" with "hæredibus…in Offendrecht" by charter dated 1270[910]. "Arnoldus de Lovanio dominus de Breda et Elisabeth eius uxor eiusdem terræ domina" donated property to the abbey at Scaldim by charter dated 5 Apr 1276, signed by "dominus Henricus de Lovanio dominus de Harstallo, dominus Waltherus Berthout dominus de Mechlinia…"[911]. A charter dated 17 Apr 1281 records that "la terre de Breda" had reverted to "Jean duc de Brebant" after the death of "Isabelle femme d´Arnou de Lovain nostre cousin iadis dame de Breda"[912]. m (before 5 Nov 1268) ARNAUD de Louvain Heer van Gaesbeck en Herstal, son of GODEFROI de Brabant Heer van Gaesbeek en Herstal & his wife Marie van Oudenaarde (-before 22 Jun 1287). [“Arnoldus a Lovanio dominus de Breda” granted freedoms to “homines ville de Oisterhout” by charter dated 29 Jun 1262[913]. This document is probably misdated as Hendrik [V] was still Heer van Breda at that date.] Heer van Breda: “Arnoldus de Gasebeke tutor legitimus et dominus terre de Breda” donated property to Roosendaal by charter dated 5 Nov 1268[914]. Arnaud resigned Breda (apparently temporarily) in favour of his brother Henri in [1273], although the circumstances of this transfer have not been ascertained. After Arnaud died, Breda was shared between Gerard van Wesemaal and Raso van Gavre Heer van Liedekerke, as noted below.

4. SOPHIE van Breda (-after Aug 1232). Europäische Stammtafeln dates her marriage “um 1208”[915]. If that is correct, Sophie was already married when named in the following document: “Lutgardis domina de Scotis” donated “duodecim libras Flandrensis monete...apud Serber et...apud Perke loco...Bukt” to Antwerp St. Michiel, with the consent of “liberis meis...Godefrido, Egidio, Henrico, Sophia et Beatrice”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1219[916]. Sophie’s inclusion in this document suggests that she was not yet married at the time, although the birth date of her oldest son suggests that she married soon afterwards. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 30 Mar 1257 under which “Raso miles dominus de Liedkerke tutor Henrici legitimi heredis de Breda” granted “terram...Agger” to “Henrico militi dicto Buffel” recording the conditions imposed by “Henricus bone memorie avunculus noster dominus de Breda”[917]. "Razzo dominus de Gavera pincerna Flandriæ et…Sophia uxor eius" founded "capellaniam in castro nostro apud Lidekerke" for Ninove, and confirmed donations made by "bonæ memoriæ Razzo dominus de Gavera pater mei Razzonis", by charter dated Jan 1232[918]. “Rasse seigneur de Gavre” donated harvest to Epinlieu abbey, for the souls of himself “[son]...épouse Sophie, de leurs enfants...”, by charter dated Aug 1232[919].

D. HEREN van HORNE

The lordships of Horne, Kuyc and Kessel emerged on the left bank of the Maas in the area of the pagus Maasgau[993]. Horne was situated north-east of the county of Looz and south of the county of Kessel, the town of Weert later becoming its capital[994]. The territory is today located in the province of Limburg, in the south-east of the kingdom of The Netherlands. The lordship of Horne consisted originally of the villages of Horn, Haelen, Buggenum, Nunhem, Heythuyzen, Roggel and Neer, which van de Boel suggests formed part of the “county of Hocht/Huste” [not yet identified] in the 10th century[995]. A useful description of the territorial extent of the lordship of Horne in the 13th century is provided by the charter dated Aug 1243 under which Willem [II] Heer van Horne declared the fiefdoms which he held from the comte de Looz[996]. Goethals provides descriptions of the towns and villages within the original territory of the lordship of Horne and describes how the from the 14th century family extended their influence, acquiring the lordships of Altena, Putten and Strijen, Cranendonk, Eindhoven, Gaesbeck, Perwez, and Baucigny in northern France[997].

According to Wolters, the Heren van Horne descended from Immo Comte de Looz (see LOWER LOTHARINGIAN NOBILITY) but his sources are incomplete and those which he does cite do not inspire confidence[998]. In particular, the Vita Andreæ, first abbot of Averboden, in the Chronicle supposedly written by Nicolas Hogeland Abbot of Middelburg, names in 1131 "Theodoricum de Los primum dominum de Hornes", identified as Thierry son of Immo Comte de Looz[999]. Klaversma notes that this source is a 17th century forgery and is unreliable[1000]. The alleged Looz descent attracted some official recognition in the late 17th century: Goethals records that the charter issued by Carlos II King of Spain to ennoble Eugen Maximiliaan van Horne states that the family “serait sortie, environ 1100, des ducs et comtes de Hasbaye de Los, et celle-ci des ducs de Lothier et de Brabant”[1001].

Some explanation about the name of this family is required. In the present-day, the locality is called Horn. Medieval texts specify a range of names, including Hoerne, Hoorne and Horne. The French version of the name is Hornes, in German it is Horn. Historians in the Netherlands currently use “Horne” to describe the family, which is the name adopted in the present Chapter.

The information available from primary source documentation is insufficiently precise to guess with any confidence at the family relationships between the first five individuals of the Horne family who are named below.

1. ENGELBERT [I] van Horne (-after 1102). “Comes Gerhardus [de Gelren], Engelbertus castellanus et frater eius dominus Walterus, dominus Wilhelmus et dominus Rogerus de Kesnic, dominus Vdo de Lo. et dominus Engelbertus de Hurne...” witnessed the charter dated 1102 under which “Anselmus” offered “filiam meam Methildem” to Thorn abbey “per manus Gerhardi comitis de Gelren”[1002].

2. --- van Horne (-killed in battle 1146). The Chronicon Diestense records that “Arnoldus [...vel Arnulphus dominus de Diest], domini de Wezemael, de Rotselaer, de Bierbaco, de Leefdale, Hoerne, Transingys, Ravies” were killed in battle in 1146[1003].

3. ENGELBERT [II] van Horne (-after 22 Feb 1166). "…Engelbertus de Hornin…" witnessed the charter dated to [1138/44] which records the ratification of the exchange of property between "Godescalcus…frater comitis Gerhardi de Lo" and the church of Rees[1004]. Reinald Archbishop of Köln confirmed the foundation of a monastery at "castrum suum Mere" by "matrona Hildegundis cometissa de Are…filii sui Herimanni quem tunc unicum habebat", for the soul of "filii sui Theoderici quondam comitis Arensis", by charter dated 22 Feb 1166, witnessed by "…Engilbertus de Hurnen…"[1005].

4. WILLEM [I] van Horne (-after 1189). Willem van Horne is named in a charter dated 1189 under which “Rutger van Mereheim” donated property to Kamp abbey before leaving on crusade[1006]. The register of the archives of Roermond include a reference to “Theodericus aartsdiaken van Luik” confirming the donation of “Winricus mansus in Linna...rechten en allodia te Bemela” made by “Rutger van Mereheym” to Kamp abbey on leaving for crusade, dated 1189 at Meerheim, witnessed by “...Willem van Hornen, Dirk van Altena en zijn zoon Boudewijn, de voogd van Roermond, Herman van Holcho...”[1007]. [“...Duo fratres de Hornen, Otto de Buren...” witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which “Otto...comes Gelrie et Rychardis uxor mea” donated property “in curia Putten” to Werden abbey[1008]. The names of the two brothers are not stated in the document but, from a chronological point of view only, it is possible that they were Willem [I] and Engelbert [III].]

5. ENGELBERT [III] van Horne (-after 1203). [“...Duo fratres de Hornen, Otto de Buren...” witnessed the charter dated 1191 under which “Otto...comes Gelrie et Rychardis uxor mea” donated property “in curia Putten” to Werden abbey[1009]. The names of the two brothers are not stated in the document but, from a chronological point of view only, it is possible that they were Willem [I] and Engelbert [III].] “...Egelbertus de Horne...” is named as present in a charter dated 6 Mar 1196 which records a treaty between Henri Duke of Brabant and “comitem Gelriæ”[1010]. “...Egelbertus de Horne...” witnessed the charter dated 1203 which records a treaty between Otto Graaf van Gelre and Henri Duke of Brabant[1011].

1. GERARD [I] van Horne (-after 1220). Heer van Horne. "…Gerardus de Hürne…" is named as present in a charter dated Aug 1220 under which records the peace agreement between Engelbert Archbishop of Köln and "dominum Walramum comitem de Luzelenburch"[1012]. "…comes de Lon, Gerhardus de Hurne et socer eius, Hermannus nobilis advocatus…" witnessed the charter dated 1220 under which Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed the foundation of the church of Rade near Suchtelen[1013].

1. --- van Horne . From a chronological point of view, it is possible that this person is the same as Willem [I] van Horne who is named above. If that is correct, it may help explain the joint appearance of members of the Horn and Altena families as witnesses to the 1189 document which is quoted above, assuming that this person´s wife was a member of the Altena family as suggested below. m [--- van Altena, daughter of ---. The documentation which suggests that the first wife of Dirk [III] van Altena was the paternal aunt of the two brothers Willem and Engelbert van Horne is discussed below. However, a contrary line of argument is indicated by a charter dated 7 May 1230, under which "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland[1014]. The word "consanguineus" suggests a blood relationship, not a relationship by marriage. If this is the correct interpretation of the second document, it suggests that Dirk [III] van Altena was the maternal uncle of the Horn brothers, their mother being Dirk´s sister. This appears to be supported by the charter dated 1235 under which "Wilhelmus dominus de Hoirne" confirmed "avunculus meus…dominus Theodericus de Altena" in possession of "castri de Altena", assuming that "avunculus" should be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle (which is far from certain)[1015]. Wolters cites a charter dated 1244 which he quotes (in translation) as providing that Willem van Horne confirmed the donation of property by "son oncle maternel Thierry Seigneur d´Altena" to the abbey of Herckenrode[1016]. However, it is not known whether "oncle maternel" is the correct translation of the wording of the original charter which has not yet been seen. The hypothesis also appears corroborated by the succession of her grandson Willem [II] Heer van Horne as Heer van Altena after the death of Dirk [III] van Altena in [1241/47]. Two children:

a) WILLEM [II] van Horne (-[1237/41]). Heer van Horne. A charter dated 15 May 1219 confirmed that the abbey of St Pantaleon, Köln granted "villam in Wishem" to "Wilhelmo de Hürne, viro nobili, advocato in Wishem", witnessed by "Nobiles, Theodericus de Althena…"[1017]. Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Averboden by charter dated 1224 which refers to the donation "in villa de Brusthem" by "vir nobilis Theodericus de Altena" with the consent of "uxoris sue ac nepotum suorum Willelmi et Engelberti"[1018]. "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland by charter dated 7 May 1230 witnessed by "Nicholaus de Putte, Willelmus de Striene…"[1019]. "Theodericus dominus de Altena" granted property at Schalwijk to certain men of Zeeland by charter dated 8 Aug 1233, witnessed by "Wilhelmus et Engelbertus de Horne, Rutgerus de Wickerode…"[1020]. "Wilhelmus dominus de Hoirne" confirmed "avunculus meus…dominus Theodericus de Altena" in possession of "castri de Altena" by charter dated 1235[1021]. Willem van Horne witnessed the charter dated 1237 under which Otto Graaf van Gelre reached agreement with Hendrik Heer van ´s Heerenberg concerning the advocacy of Emmerick[1022]. A charter dated 26 Jun 1241 records the reconciliation of "Th doctus dominus in Altena" with "Nicolaus dictus de Ema et Henricus filius suus ministeriales nostri", naming "domino Wilhelmo de Horne et fratre suo domino Engelberto…dominus Wilhelmus dictus de Strina…" among the fiduciaries[1023]. m ---. The name of Willem´s wife is not known. Willem [II] & his wife had two children:

i) WILLEM [III] van Horne (-1264, bur Keysersbosch). Heer van Horne. "Wilhelmus dominus de Altena et de Horne" acknowledged holding "grefliche gerichte…in Geystingis…" in fief from "domino meo comite de Loos" by charter dated 1243[1024].

- see below.

ii) A--- van Horne (-after 27 Jul 1260). "Theodericus comes Clevensis et Theodericus frater eius dictus Lof" settled a dispute between “Johannes dominus de Huesden” and “dominus Robertus et dominus Henricus fratres eius”, with the advice of “Ottonis comitis Ghelrensis, W. domini de Altena, domini A. fratris eius, Th. domini de Herlar, H. de Merwyc et aliorum consanguineorum suorum...”, by charter dated 27 Jul 1260[1025].

b) ENGELBERT van Horne . Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Averboden by charter dated 1224 which refers to the donation "in villa de Brusthem" by "vir nobilis Theodericus de Altena" with the consent of "uxoris sue ac nepotum suorum Willelmi et Engelberti"[1026]. "Theodericus dominus de Altena" granted property at Schalwijk to certain men of Zeeland by charter dated 8 Aug 1233, witnessed by "Wilhelmus et Engelbertus de Horne, Rutgerus de Wickerode…"[1027]. A charter dated 26 Jun 1241 records the reconciliation of "Th doctus dominus in Altena" with "Nicolaus dictus de Ema et Henricus filius suus ministeriales nostri", naming "domino Wilhelmo de Horne et fratre suo domino Engelberto…dominus Wilhelmus dictus de Strina…" among the fiduciaries[1028].

2. [MARIA [van Horne] (-after 1212). "Theodoricus dominus de Autena" donated "decimam...Mirta" to Averboden, with the consent of "uxoris nostræ Mariæ et nepotum nostrorum Engelberti et Willelmi", by charter dated 1212[1029]. Her suggested parentage is based on the following reasoning. The “nepotum nostrorum Engelberti et Willelmi" in this 1212 document can be identified as Engelbert and Willem van Horne. However, the sources appear contradictory regarding the precise relationship link between the Altena and Horn families. Under a charter dated 1224, Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Averboden and noted the donation "in villa de Brusthem" which was made by "vir nobilis Theodericus de Altena" with the consent of "uxoris sue [a different wife, see under Dirk’s second wife Imagina] ac nepotum suorum Willelmi et Engelberti"[1030]. This is similar wording to the 1212 document. For present purposes it is assumed that "nepotum" can be interpreted in these two documents in its strict sense of nephew. The presence of the wife of Dirk [III] van Altena in both documents suggests that the donor´s relationship with the Horn brothers was through her, which suggests that Dirk [III]´s wife was the paternal aunt of the two brothers. However, a contrary line of argument is indicated by a charter dated 7 May 1230, under which "Theodoricus dictus dominus de Altena…et consanguineus meus Wilhelmus de Horne" recognised "castrum meum de Altena" as a fief held from Floris IV Count of Holland[1031]. The word "consanguineus" suggests a blood relationship, not a relationship by marriage. If this is the correct interpretation of the second document, it suggests that Dirk [III] van Altena was the maternal uncle of the Horn brothers, their mother being Dirk´s sister. This appears to be supported by the charter dated 1235 under which "Wilhelmus dominus de Hoirne" confirmed "avunculus meus…dominus Theodericus de Altena" in possession of "castri de Altena", assuming that "avunculus" should be interpreted in its strict sense of maternal uncle (which is far from certain)[1032]. Wolters cites a charter dated 1244 which he quotes (in translation) as providing that Willem van Horne confirmed the donation of property by "son oncle maternel Thierry Seigneur d´Altena" to the abbey of Herckenrode[1033]. However, it is not known whether "oncle maternel" is the correct translation of the wording of the original charter which has not yet been seen. This second line of argument also appears corroborated by the succession of Willem [II] Heer van Horne as Heer van Altena after the death of Dirk [III] van Altena in [1241/47], which is more easily explained if he was descended from Dirk [III]´s sister. m as his first wife, DIRK [III] Heer van Altena, son of --- (-[26 Jun 1241/1247]).]

WILLEM [III] van Horne, son of WILLEM [II] Heer van Horne & his wife --- van Altena (-1264, bur Keysersbosch). Heer van Horne. Engelbert Archbishop of Köln confirmed the possessions of the abbey of Averboden by charter dated 1224 which refers to the donation "in villa de Brusthem" by "vir nobilis Theodericus de Altena" with the consent of "uxoris sue ac nepotum suorum Willelmi et Engelberti"[1034]. "Wilhelmus dominus de Altena et de Horne" acknowledged holding "grefliche gerichte…in Geystingis…" in fief from "domino meo comite de Loos" by charter dated 1243[1035]. Willem van Horne confirmed the donation of property by "son oncle maternel Thierry Seigneur d´Altena" to the abbey of Herckenrode by charter dated 1244[1036]. Heer van Altena [1241/47]. "Wilhelmus dominus de Altena" confirmed “decimas in Woldrichem in Alle et dimidiam partem decimarum in Gesen” to Utrecht by charter dated 21 Mar 1259[1037]. "Theodericus comes Clevensis et Theodericus frater eius dictus Lof" settled a dispute between “Johannes dominus de Huesden” and “dominus Robertus et dominus Henricus fratres eius”, with the advice of “Ottonis comitis Ghelrensis, W. domini de Altena, domini A. fratris eius, Th. domini de Herlar, H. de Merwyc et aliorum consanguineorum suorum...”, by charter dated 27 Jul 1260[1038].

m ---. The name of Willem´s wife is not known.

Willem [III] & his wife had two children:

1. WILLEM [IV] van Horne (-killed in battle Zierickzee 1304, bur Keysersbosch). Heer van Horne. Jean Duke of Brabant granted revenue (“redditus nostros”) from “Buscho-Ducis...Laet et Ghieleyde”, after the death (“post decessum”) of “dominæ Mariæ quondam uxoris domini de Peruwez bonæ memoriæ dominæ de Ninive”, to "Domino Willelmo domino de Hoern" by charter dated 2 Feb 1271, witnessed by "Henricus de Lovanio dominus de Harstallio, Walterus Berthout dominus Magliniæ et Henricus dominus de Bautershem"[1039]. The wording of the document suggests that Marie was still alive at the time and that the grant would take place after her death. "Wilhelmus de Althena et de Horne dominus et Wilhelmus filius suus primogenitus" granted “decimam de Uppel” to “nos Lodowico kastellano”, provided that “uxor sua et filii sui” transfer it to “Beatrici filie sue cum Johanne de Merwede viro eius”, by charter dated 25 Apr 1277[1040]. "Willelmus dominus de Horne et Altena" donated property to Keyserbosch, with the consent of "Willelmo primogenito nostro", by charter dated 1285[1041]. "Willem ridder van Hoorne heere van Outena" sold half of property “in Vorenzaterwairt” to “onsen...neve den heren Willem heere van Striene” by charter dated 2 Feb 1285[1042]. The relationship between the Horn and Strijen families has not been traced. "...Willem here van Horne riddere..." is named as present in the charter dated 12 Jun 1290 under which Floris V Count of Holland granted property to "Claise van Cats"[1043]. "Willelmus dominus de Horne et Willelmus primogenitus eius milites et Theodericus eiusdem domini Willelmi filius præpositus ecclesiæ Trajectensis inferioris" swore allegiance to "Ioannem ducem Lotharingiæ, Brabantiæ et Limburgi" by charter dated 1193 (misdated, 1293?)[1044]. "Willem heere van Hoerne ende van Altena, ende Diederic provost van Sinte Salvatoere in Utrecht, sone des voirseyds heeren Willems, ende Willem, riddere, des voirsz. heeren Willems oudste sone, ende Gherard, ridder, syn joncste sone, ende Engelbrecht canonic van Sente lambrechts te Ludeke, sone des voirgenoemde heeren Willems" proclaimed their innonence in the assassination of Floris V Count of Holland by letters dated 12 Feb 1299[1045]. [m firstly MARGUERITE de Looz, daughter of ARNAUD [IV] Comte de Looz & his wife Jeanne de Chiny (-before 1275). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed only by a monumental inscription at the Carmelite Abbey in Brussels which records the death of her son "monseinour ly cuens Geerarts sire de Hornes, Wiert, Altena, etc., grand-veneur héréditable de l´Empire…fieulx à monseinour ly cuens Willaumes, sire des dits lieux, et à madame Marguerite, fiele a ly cuens Arnould de Looz"[1046]. This inscription is discussed in detail by van de Boel who suggests that it is unreliable as a later production[1047]. The language clearly indicates that the inscription is not contemporary. However, it is not known whether it might have been based on information from earlier reliable sources. This possibility should not be dismissed as other parts of the same inscription, relating to other members of the Horn family, are corroborated by other documentation. A connection between the Looz and Horn families is indicated by the confirmation given by Arnaud [V] Comte de Looz to Geraard van Horne for his grant of property to his wife (see below). However, the document in question does not specify any family relationship between the two, in contrast to the case of one of the witnesses whom Comte Arnaud describes as “nostrum consanguineum”. It is possible, therefore, that the confirmation was given only because Comte Arnaud was Gerard´s suzerain. The chronology of the Looz family indicates that it is possible for a daughter of Comte Arnaud [V] to have married Willem [IV] van Horne.] m [secondly] AGNES, daughter of --- (-after 1275). “Willelmus vir nobilis dominus de Horne” sold property “in Blarthem, que dominus dux nobis allodialia reddidit” to “Henrico dicto Coman opidano in Buscho”, with the consent of “Agnes uxor ipsius domini de Horne”, by charter dated 1 Oct 1271[1048]. Van de Boel cites another source which names “een vrouwe van Horn...Agnes” in a 1275 donation to Keiserbosch[1049]. He suggests that the wife of Willem [III] was related to the Perwez/Brabant family. [One document suggests that Willem [IV] may have married thirdly (before 13 Jun 1278) Aleidis van Bernehamme [Barlham], daughter of ---: “Wilhelmus nobilis vir de Horne miles” and his wife “Aleijdis de Bernhamme” donated property to Klooster Bethlehem near Doetinchem by charter dated 13 Jun 1278[1050]. However, another transcription of the same charter names the donor “Wilhelmus nobilis vir de Herne miles”, although the reproduction of the original document on the same website shows that the name is “Horne” not “Herne”[1051]. The story does not end there. An article published in 1930 indicates that the seal attached to the original document shows the name “Herne”[1052]. In addition, an “Elisabeth van Hernen” married Hendrik van Wisch, probably in the early 14th century[1053] and brought certains rights in “Barlham” to the Wisch family[1054]. It is probable therefore that Elisabeth was descended from “Willem van Herne” and his wife “Aleidis van Bernhamme [Barlham]”, who was not therefore the third wife of Willem [IV] van Horne[1055].] Willem [IV] & his [first] wife had four children:

a) WILLEM [V] van Horne (-after 12 Feb 1299). "Wilhelmus de Althena et de Horne dominus et Wilhelmus filius suus primogenitus" granted “decimam de Uppel” to “nos Lodowico kastellano”, provided that “uxor sua et filii sui” transfer it to “Beatrici filie sue cum Johanne de Merwede viro eius”, by charter dated 25 Apr 1277[1056]. "Willelmus dominus de Horne et Altena" donated property to Keyserbosch, with the consent of "Willelmo primogenito nostro", by charter dated 1285[1057]. "Willelmus dominus de Horne et Willelmus primogenitus eius milites et Theodericus eiusdem domini Willelmi filius præpositus ecclesiæ Trajectensis inferioris" swore allegiance to "Ioannem ducem Lotharingiæ, Brabantiæ et Limburgi" by charter dated 1193 (misdated, 1293?)[1058]. "Willem heere van Hoerne ende van Altena, ende Diederic provost van Sinte Salvatoere in Utrecht, sone des voirseyds heeren Willems, ende Willem, riddere, des voirsz. heeren Willems oudste sone, ende Gherard, ridder, syn joncste sone, ende Engelbrecht canonic van Sente lambrechts te Ludeke, sone des voirgenoemde heeren Willems" proclaimed their innocence in the assassination of Floris V Count of Holland by letters dated 12 Feb 1299[1059].

b) GERARD [II] van Horne (-3 May 1333, bur Brussels Carmelite Abbey). The Chronique Artésienne records “mesire Guerars de Hornes” among those captured at the battle of Furnes 20 Aug 1297[1060]. "Willem heere van Hoerne ende van Altena, ende Diederic provost van Sinte Salvatoere in Utrecht, sone des voirseyds heeren Willems, ende Willem, riddere, des voirsz. heeren Willems oudste sone, ende Gherard, ridder, syn joncste sone, ende Engelbrecht canonic van Sente lambrechts te Ludeke, sone des voirgenoemde heeren Willems" proclaimed their innocence in the assassination of Floris V Count of Holland by letters dated 12 Feb 1299[1061]. Heer van Horne. “Gheraerd Here van Hoirne” confirmed land to “Woldrichem“, as granted by “onse Here onse vader ende Hair Willaem onse broeder“, by charter dated 7 Apr 1306[1062]. Kusman records that Gerard [II] Heer van Horne and his second wife Irmgard von Kleve, were heavily indebted to Jean de Mirabello who bought the seigneurie de Perwez from them in [1326/27][1063]. A monumental inscription at the Carmelite Abbey in Brussels records the death 3 May 1333 of "monseinour ly cuens Geerarts sire de Hornes, Wiert, Altena, etc., grand-veneur héréditable de l´Empire…fieulx à monseinour ly cuens Willaumes, sire des dits lieux, et à madame Marguerite, fiele a ly cuens Arnould de Looz"[1064]. m firstly (Papal dispensation 7 Jun 1302, contract 11 Sep 1302) JEANNE de Louvain "van Gaesbeek", daughter of HENRI de Louvain Heer van Gaesbeek, Herstal, Seigneur de Baucigny & his wife Isabel van Beveren (-Sep [1315], bur Brussels Carmelite Abbey). Pope Boniface VIII granted dispensation “non obstante quarto consanguinitatis gradu” for the marriage of “Gerardo domino de Horne et de Outhena” and “Johanne nate quondam Henrici de Lovanio domini castrorum de Gasebecke ac de Haristal, Leodiensis ac Cameracensis diocesium”, at the request of “Mariæ relictæ Phylippi regis Francorum pro eis consanguineis”, dated 7 Jun 1302[1065]. Her marriage is confirmed by a charter dated Sep 1302 under which "Arnoldus comes de Losse et de Chiny" confirmed the grant of property by "vir nobilis Gerardus dominus de Hoern noster fidelis" to "dominam Ioannam de Gaesbeke eius uxorem", witnessed by "nostrum consanguineum fidelem dominum Wilhelmum de Peterssem, Ioannem castellanum de Montenaco et Arnoldus de Witthem nostros milites"[1066]. Dame de Baucigny et Herstal. A monumental inscription at the Carmelite Abbey in Brussels records the death in Sep 1319 (inaccurate date?) of "Madame Jehanne de Louvain heritière des sennouries et terres de Gaesbeek, Harstal, Bausignies, etc., espouce à monseinour ly cuens Girars [sire de Hornes] et…fiele à Henry de Louvain qui fut nepveu et petit-fieulx à Henry I et II du nom, ducs de Lothier-Brabant, cuens de Louvain"[1067]. m secondly (contract 19 Feb 1316) IRMGARD von Kleve, daughter of DIETRICH [VI] Graf von Kleve & his second wife Margareta von Habsburg (-after 29 Mar 1352). The marriage contract between “Gerhard von Horn” and “Elisabeth von Kleve” is dated 19 Feb 1316[1068]. The name discrepancy suggests that Gerard van Horne may have married another daughter named Irmgard after her sister Elisabeth died. "Irmegarth van Cleve…wyf heren Ghereyts die here was van Hurnen, ende Diderich ayste sone heren Ghereyts ende Irmegarde vorghenomde" agreed with "den greue van Cleue, onsen bruder" to share "der heerscap van Husden" {Heusden} by charter dated 18 Feb 1331[1069]. "Dyederic greue van Cleue, Jan van Cleue doemdeken van Coelne, ghebroeder" testified concerning the division of property between "her Didderic van Hurne, here van Cranenborgh, Jan, Willaem, Otte ende Euerart syn broedere", naming "hoer moeder, vrouwe Yrmgarden van Cleue, wylner vrouwe was te Hurne, onser…zuster", by charter dated 20 Apr 1343[1070]. Gerard [II] & his first wife had two children:

i) WILLEM [VI] van Horne (-1343). Heer van Horne.

- see below.

ii) OTTO van Horne . Seigneur de Baucigny. Admiral of France.

Gerard [II] & his second wife had five children:

iii) DIRK van Horne (-after 1372). "Irmegarth van Cleve…wyf heren Ghereyts die here was van Hurnen, ende Diderich ayste sone heren Ghereyts ende Irmegarde vorghenomde" agreed with "den greue van Cleue, onsen bruder" to share "der heerscap van Husden" {Heusden} by charter dated 18 Feb 1331[1071]. Seigneur de Perwez, de Cranenbourg et de Ghestel.

- SEIGNEURS de PERWEZ, HEREN van DUFFEL.

iv) JAN van Horne (-after 20 Apr 1343). "Dyederic greue van Cleue, Jan van Cleue doemdeken van Coelne, ghebroeder" testified concerning the division of property between "her Didderic van Hurne, here van Cranenborgh, Jan, Willaem, Otte ende Euerart syn broedere", naming "hoer moeder, vrouwe Yrmgarden van Cleue, wylner vrouwe was te Hurne, onser…zuster", by charter dated 20 Apr 1343[1072].

v) WILLEM van Horne (-after 20 Apr 1343). "Dyederic greue van Cleue, Jan van Cleue doemdeken van Coelne, ghebroeder" testified concerning the division of property between "her Didderic van Hurne, here van Cranenborgh, Jan, Willaem, Otte ende Euerart syn broedere", naming "hoer moeder, vrouwe Yrmgarden van Cleue, wylner vrouwe was te Hurne, onser…zuster", by charter dated 20 Apr 1343[1073].

vi) OTTO van Horne (-after 20 Apr 1343). "Dyederic greue van Cleue, Jan van Cleue doemdeken van Coelne, ghebroeder" testified concerning the division of property between "her Didderic van Hurne, here van Cranenborgh, Jan, Willaem, Otte ende Euerart syn broedere", naming "hoer moeder, vrouwe Yrmgarden van Cleue, wylner vrouwe was te Hurne, onser…zuster", by charter dated 20 Apr 1343[1074].

vii) EVERARD van Horne (-after 20 Apr 1343). "Dyederic greue van Cleue, Jan van Cleue doemdeken van Coelne, ghebroeder" testified concerning the division of property between "her Didderic van Hurne, here van Cranenborgh, Jan, Willaem, Otte ende Euerart syn broedere", naming "hoer moeder, vrouwe Yrmgarden van Cleue, wylner vrouwe was te Hurne, onser…zuster", by charter dated 20 Apr 1343[1075].

c) DIRK van Horne (-[after 1293]). "Willelmus dominus de Horne et Willelmus primogenitus eius milites et Theodericus eiusdem domini Willelmi filius præpositus ecclesiæ Trajectensis inferioris" swore allegiance to "Ioannem ducem Lotharingiæ, Brabantiæ et Limburgi" by charter dated 1193 (misdated, 1293?)[1076]. Provost at St. Salvator, Utrecht. "Willem heere van Hoerne ende van Altena, ende Diederic provost van Sinte Salvatoere in Utrecht, sone des voirseyds heeren Willems, ende Willem, riddere, des voirsz. heeren Willems oudste sone, ende Gherard, ridder, syn joncste sone, ende Engelbrecht canonic van Sente lambrechts te Ludeke, sone des voirgenoemde heeren Willems" proclaimed their innocence in the assassination of Floris V Count of Holland by letters dated 12 Feb 1299[1077].

d) ENGELBERT van Horne (-after 12 Feb 1299). "Willem heere van Hoerne ende van Altena, ende Diederic provost van Sinte Salvatoere in Utrecht, sone des voirseyds heeren Willems, ende Willem, riddere, des voirsz. heeren Willems oudste sone, ende Gherard, ridder, syn joncste sone, ende Engelbrecht canonic van Sente lambrechts te Ludeke, sone des voirgenoemde heeren Willems" proclaimed their innonence in the assassination of Floris V Count of Holland by letters dated 12 Feb 1299[1078]. Canon at Liège Saint-Lambert.

2. DIRK van Horne (-[1 Aug/7 Nov] 1272). Heer van Altena. "Magister Henricus decanus...ecclesie S. Salvatoris in Trajecto" confirmed property held by “Wilhelmus dominus de Altenæ bone memorie” to “Theodorico filio eiusdem W.” by charter dated 22 Apr 1265[1079]. "Theodoricus dominus de Altena" donated property “apud Scalunen” to the Teutonic Knights at Utrecht, with the consent of “domini Wilhelmi de Horne fratris mei”, by charter dated 19 Mar 1266[1080]. "Theodoricus dominus de Altena" confirmed “terra sive terminis de Scalunen” to the Teutonic Knights at Utrecht by charter dated 2 May 1268[1081]. "Th. dominus de Altenay" donated “in decima de Woldrikem, in Gysen et in Anle” to Utrecht St Salvator by charter dated 1 Aug 1272, sealed by “domini Wilhelmi de Horne fratris nostri”[1082]. "Joannes dominus de Arkele" confirmed the donation to the Teutonic Knights at Utrecht made by “Theodorico de Altena bone memorie”, with the consent of “nobilis viri domini de Horne, domini de Altena”, by charter dated 7 Nov 1272, sealed by “nobilis viri domini Wilhelmi predicti...domini Ottonis de Heuclom patrui mei”[1083]. This confirmation suggests a family relationship between the two: maybe Jan van Arkel was Dirk van Horne´s brother-in-law or son-in-law.

WILLEM [VI] van Horne, son of GERARD [II] Heer van Horne & his first wife Jeanne de Louvain (-1343). Heer van Horne. Jean III Duke of Brabant recorded the homage of “Willem here van Horne ende van Altena, onse neve” by charter dated 1323[1084]. The testament of "Willem heer van Hoern, van Altena ende Gaesbeek" is dated Oct 1342 and names "onsen…oudsten soene Geeraert van Hoern riddere…vrou Else van Cleve onser…vrouwen…onse…nichte Beatrix van Lovene"[1085].

m firstly (contract 1315) ODA van Putten en Strijen, daughter of NIKOLAAS [IV] Heer van Putten & his wife Aleid van Strijen (-after 27 Jul 1327). The marriage contract of “Gerard heer van Hoorne en Altena...Willem zijn oudste zoon” and “Oda dochter van Aleid vrouwe van Putten en Strijen” is dated 1315[1086]. Willem III Count of Holland confirmed property “in die Heerscipie van Outena”, at the request of “Willaem van Horne”, to “Joncfrouwen Oeden van Horne sinen wive ende horen kinderen” by charter dated 27 Jul 1327[1087].

m secondly (1336) as her second husband, ELISABETH von Kleve, widow of GOTTFRIED von Jülich Herr von Bergheim, daughter of DIETRICH LUF von Kleve Graf von Hülchrath & his first wife Yolande de Looz (-1347). Pope John XXII granted dispensation for the marriage between "nobilis viri Godefridi de Juliaco domini de Berchem" and “nobilis mulieris Elizabet nate...nobilis viri Theoderici dicti Luyf de Cleve Colon. dioc.” despite not knowing of their 4° consanguinity, dated 28 Sep 1330[1088]. Elisabeth’s second marriage is indicated by the following document: “Otto von Kleve, Propst zu St. Gereon in Köln” renounced rights in the succession of “seines Bruders Dietrich Loef von Kleve, Elisabeths Vater” in favour of “Wilhelms Herrn von Horn und Altena und dessen Frau Elisabeth von Kleve” by charter dated 24 Mar 1338[1089]. Given her first husband’s death in May 1335, and bearing in mind that Elisabeth had five recorded children by her second husband, her second marriage can probably be dated to [1336]. The testament of "Willem heer van Hoern, van Altena ende Gaesbeek" is dated Oct 1342 and names "onsen…oudsten soene Geeraert van Hoern riddere…vrou Else van Cleve onser…vrouwen…onse…nichte Beatrix van Lovene"[1090].

F. HORNE: SEIGNEURS de BAUCIGNY, HEREN van GAESBEEK

DIRK-LOEF van Horne, son of WILLEM [VI] Heer van Horne & his second wife Elisabeth von Kleve ([1338/39]-1390). Klaversma discusses “tweede zoon van Willem IV van Horne en Elisabeth van Kleef, die in 1338 of 1339 geboren moet zijn”[1142]. A charter dated 10 Oct 1357 records an agreement between "heer Gisbrecht heere van Abcoude, heer Sweer van Abcoude heere van Gaesbeek ende Willem synen broeder, ridders" and "heer Diericx van Hoerne heere van Perwes en heer Jans van Polanen heere van der Lecke ende van Breda" concerning the division of territories, and names "Dierick heere van Hoerne…Arnout synen broeder ende joncvrou Lisbette syne suster"[1143]. "Dierick heere van Hoerne" in this document is assumed to be Dirk-Loef. "Dederic Luef her van Hurne enn van Althena" granted property to "onder suster der Vrouwen van Dieste" by charter dated 1 Nov 1367[1144]. Seigneur de Baucigny. Goethals records Dirk-Loef as “un des principaux chevaliers à la bataille de Baswilre” 22 Aug 1371 and that his brother Arnold Bishop of Liège installed him as “son lieutenant dans la charge de mambour de Liège” (no sources cited)[1145]. The abbess of the convent of Nazareth at Diest released "messire Arnaud de Hornes évêque de Liége, messire Evrard de Hornes chanoine de Cologne…seigneur Dirck Louf de Hornes seigneur de Baucignies et Moncornet" from commitments made by "madame Elisabeth de Cleves…leur mère, veuve…de messire Guillaume…seigneur des pays de Hornes…" relating to the dowry of "sœur Walburge de Horne sa fille naturelle" by charter dated 1381[1146]. Klaversma cites numerous other documents, dated between 1355 and 1 Jul 1400, in which Dirk-Loef was named[1147]. Klaversma records that Dirk-Loef died between 1 Jul 1400 (grant of revenue from Heeze-Leende) and 19 Jul 1403 (when his son was named)[1148]. Goethals, it seems incorrectly, records the death of Dirk-Loef in 1390[1149].

m firstly (before 26 Oct 1358) --- (-before Aug 1367). The name of Dirk-Loef’s first wife is not known (see below under his second wife for the discussion about “Isabelle de Montigny”). His first marriage is confirmed by a document dated 26 Oct 1358 which records his wife’s invitation to the marriage celebration in November at Enghien of Matilda of Lancaster and Willem V Count of Holland[1150]. This invitation suggests that she enjoyed some prominence among the local nobility in her own right. Klaversma suggests that Dirk-Loef married firstly an unknown relative of Dietrich Herr von Heinsberg (“met een tot nu onbekende verwante van Dirk van Heinsberg”), see the document LIMBURG, indicating that in Mar 1358 he fought the citizens of Maaseik, apparently in the service of Dietrich who had imposed unjust taxes on them, and that afterwards Dirk-Loef enjoyed good relations with the Heinsberg family[1151]. Other explanations seem possible to explain the close relations between the two families, including financial obligations or a mutual protection pact agreed for strategic reasons. This first wife died before Aug 1367, when Dirk-Loef’s second marriage was notified (see below).

m secondly (before 9 Aug 1367) ISABELLE, daughter of --- (-after 1400). In a document dated 9 Aug 1367, Dirk-Loef informed Jean de Blois [Châtillon] of his marriage[1152]. A record dated “14--“ names “Thierry de Horn, seign. de Montcornet et Bancigny; femme, Isabeau”[1153]: it is not known whether this document refers to the same wife whom Dirk-Loef married in 1367. The origin of Dirk-Loef’s wife has been the subject of what appears to have been misleading information[1154]. Klaversma records that “Beweerd [unproven] is en wordt” that Dirk-Loef van Horne and “Elisabeth van Montigny, vrouwe van Kasteelbrakel en Hoog-Itter, dochter van Robert van Montigny en Maria van Edingen, bijgenaamd Havré” married in 1350, expressing doubts about the accuracy of the information[1155]. If the information is correct, Dirk-Loef married Isabelle de Montigny, daughter of Robert [IV] Seigneur de Montigny & his wife [Marie d’Enghien]. Klaversma cites Goethals who records the same information, without expressing any reservation about its accuracy[1156]. Goethals quotes an extract from Antoine-Ferdinand van Hamme’s Histoire généalogique de la maison des châtelains de Valenciennes (book not found): “Isabeau de Montigny...fille de Robert sire de Montigny et de Marie de Gumeret (Havrech) fut dame de Braine-le-Château et femme de Thierry-Loef de Hornes sire de Baucignies”. According to Goethals’s report, Hamme did not specify the date of the marriage. No source has been found which confirms the 1350 date: if all the Goethals/Hamme information is correct, Isabelle de Montigny was Dirk-Loef’s first wife (contrary to Klaversma’s suggestion noted above), if the date is incorrect, she may have been the same person as Dirk-Loef’s second wife “Isabelle”. The major difficulty with the Goethals/Hamme information lies in the reference to Braine-le-Château, an interest in which was purchased much later by the Horne family as indicated by the 21 Jun 1434 charter cited below. Stroobant provides further information about the Montigny family’s alleged earlier interest in Braine-le-Château, listing Montigny “seigneurs de Braine-le-Château” who, he says, inherited the fief from the châtelains de Valenciennes in the early 12th century and shared their interest with the Trazegnies family[1157]. Stroobant cites no sources which corroborate his information, although he must have consulted Hamme’s work which he cites in another context[1158]. Tarlier and Wauters dismiss the existence of this alleged co-seigneurie de Braine-le-Château (in addition to the Trazegnies-held seigneurie), held by “une branche de la famille de Valenciennes” and which allegedly passed by marriage to the Montigny family, as “très probablement des billeversées enfantées par l’imagination de quelque généalogiste”[1159]. Indeed, no source has been found which corroborates the assertions of Hamme, Goethals and Stroobant. Until further information comes to light, it is suggested that the alleged connection between the Montigny family and Braine-le-Château should be discounted and Dirk-Loef’s alleged marriage with “Isabelle de Montigny” treated with caution.

Dirk-Loef & his [first/second] wife had one child (not enough data is available to estimate Arnold’s birth date with any confidence, and therefore suggest whether his mother was his father’s first or second wife):

1. ARNOLD van Horne (-1404). Goethals records his parentage, naming him “sire de Montcornet, de Baucignies, de Hees, de Leende, d’Herstal, lieutenant de la cour féodale du Brabant” (no source cited)[1160]. [Heer van Bronshorn: Henkens records that “Arnold I van Horn” acquired Bronshorn and swore allegiance in 1374 for this fief to the duke of Brabant[1161]. The corresponding primary source has not been found. Heer van Kessenich (part)?: Henkens does not mention Kessenich but it is reasonable to suppose that Arnold held the associated part of Kessenich as well, given that his predecessor in Bronshorn, Reinoud Heer van Schoonvorst, held both fiefs. He does not identify “Arnold I”, but the later connection between Bronshorn and his supposed brother Jan suggests that he may have been the son of Dirk-Loef. If that is correct, the date indicates that Arnold would have been born from his father’s first marriage, and would have been around 20 years old in 1374. The only other “Arnold” so far identified in the Horne family was Dirk-Loef’s brother Arnold Bishop of Liège (died 1389). If he was “Arnold I”, it is surprising case that the 1374 entry (assuming that Henkens has accurately reported it) omitted his ecclesiastical position.] Seigneur de Baucigny. Goethals records his death in 1404 (no source cited)[1162]. [m firstly ([1374?]) JOHANNA Mascherell van Schoonvorst, daughter of REINOUD Heer van Schoonvorst & his first wife Katharina von Wildenberg. Bouveroux says that “in 1347” [date must be incorrect: misprint for 1374?] “Arnold van Horne” married “de dochter van de heer van Schoonvorst, nl. Johanna” (no source cited)[1163]. The chronology suggests that, if Bouveroux is correct, Johanna’s unnamed father would have been Reinoud Heer van Schoonvorst. However, no other evidence has been found that any of Reinoud’s daughters married Arnold van Horne (neither Franquinet[1164] nor Gläser[1165] mention the marriage), although a Schoonvorst/Horne marriage alliance at the time would not be surprising especially as it could explain the transfer to the Horne family of the Brabant share of Kessenich, assuming that this fief was her dowry (see the document LIMBURG for discussion about Kessenich). More doubt about the possible existence of this Johanna is introduced by the discovery of Reinoud’s probable daughter of the same name who married Peter zu Eltz (see the document BRABANT, LOUVAIN), as it is unlikely that Reinoud’s first wife, Katharina von Wildenberg, would have had three daughters all named Johanna (one by her first Elsloo marriage and two by her second). Another possibility is that Bouveroux mistook the name of Arnold’s wife and that she was not named Johanna. In conclusion, until more information comes to light, it is suggested that Bouveroux’s reference should be treated with caution.] m [secondly] as her second husband, JEANNE de Hondschote, widow of JEAN Seigneur d’Ossignies et de Boulainvilliers, Vicomte d’Aumâle, daughter of THIERRY de Hondschote & his wife Jeanne de Flandre (-after 1405). Goethals records her parentage, naming her “dame de Hondschoot, de Houtkercke, de Locre, vicomtesse de Furnes et de Bergues-Saint-Winoc”, and first two marriages (no source cited)[1166]. She married thirdly (1405) Antoine de Craon Seigneur de Beauverger. Arnold & his wife had children:

a) JAN van Horne (-Oostende [late Jul/early Aug] 1436, Bruges St Donat). Goethals records his parentage, naming him “sire de Gaesbeek, de Houtkercke, de Baucignies, de Montcornet, de Hees, de Leende, d’Herstal et de Hondschoot, vicomte de Furnes et de Bergues-Saint-Winoc” (no sources cited)[1167]. Seigneur de Baucigny. Heer van Gaesbeek: a document dated 26 May 1434 at the feudal court of Brabant records that “Heer Janne van Hoirne, heere van Bausengnies, van Heeze, van Leende ende van Hondescoten” acquired “’t lant, slot ende herlicheit van Gaesbeke” from “Jacobs here van Gaesbeke, van Abcoude, van Putten ende van Streyen”[1168]. Seigneur de Braine-le-Château: a charter dated 21 Jun 1434 records that “Jacques signour de Ghasebeeque [...Gasebecq] escuyers” [Jakob Heer van Abcoude] sold “le mairie et advouerie des villes et terres de Braine le Castiel et de Hault Yttre...” to “monseigneur Jehan de Hornes chevalier”[1169]. Stroobant records that Jan “acquit la seigneurie de Braine-le-Château et Haut-Ittre en 1434”[1170]. Goethals records the circumstances of Jan’s murder by English forces in the dunes near Oostende, in revenge for leading the duke of Burgundy’s defence of Calais against the duke of Gloucester 25 Jul 1436, and his burial at Bruges Saint-Domat[1171]. m MARGUERITE de la Trémoïlle, daughter of PIERRE de la Trémoïlle Baron de Dours & his wife Jeanne de Longvillers (-after 1452). Goethals records her parentage and marriage[1172]. A charter dated 24 Jun 1436 records that “dona Margarita de Latrymoille, dona de Bausseignies et de Hondescoten, de Heeze et Leende, filia quondam domini Petri de Latrymoille militis, relicta quondam domini Johannis de Hoerne, militis, domini earumdem loci” acquired “les droits de bourgeoisie à Bruxelles”[1173]. Jan & his wife had one child:

i) FILIP van Horne ([1420/21]-killed in battle Courtrai 3 Feb 1489). Goethals records his parentage and birth “en 1421” (“tenu sur les fonts baptismaux par Philippe-le-Bon duc de Bourgogne”), naming him “vicomte de Furnes et de Bergues-Saint-Winoc, seigneur de Gaesbeek, de Baucignies, de Houtkercke, de Montcornet, d’Herstal, de Hees et Leende...de Hondschoot, de Locres, de Braine-le-Château, de Putten, de Stryen, de Geldorp par acquêt fait en 1462”[1174]. His age is confirmed by his 2 Mar 1432 betrothal contract quoted below. Seigneur de Baucigny, Heer van Gaesbeek. A charter dated 7 Oct 1436 records that “Philips van Horne, here Janssone van Horne...met heren Reynault Knywe sinen...momboir” was confirmed in “slot van Gaesbeke” by the Brabant feudal court[1175]. Seigneur de Baucigny, Heer van Gaesbeek. Goethals records his testament dated 2 Aug 1488 and his death at Cambrai “le 3 février 1488...tué par le seigneur de Liedekercke”[1176]. Betrothed (contract 2 Mar 1432) to MARGARETA von Heinsberg, daughter of JOHANN [III] Herr von Heinsberg & his wife Walpurga von Mörs (25 Jul 1426-Weilburg 12 Feb 1446). “Jean de Heinsberg...évêque de Liège et comte de Looz, Jean de Looz seigneur de Juliers, de Heinsberg, Jean fils aîné de Heinsberg et Guillaume de Heinsberg comte de Blanckenheim...Jean de Heinsberg susdit notre...fils et neveu” and “damoiselle Jeanne fille...de feu Jean fils de Diest” agreed the marriage of “Philippe de Hornes fils...[de] Jean de Hornes seigneur de Baucignies...âgé d’environ onze ans” and “Marguerite fille...de moi Jean fils aîné de Heinsberg, âgée environ de neuf ans” by charter dated 2 Mar 1432[1177]. Goethals records his testament dated 2 Aug 1488 and his death at Cambrai “le 3 février 1488...tué par le seigneur de Liedekercke”[1178]. m firstly JEANNE de Lannoy Dame de Brimeux, daughter of JEAN Comte de Lannoy & his first wife Jeanne de Poix Dame de Brimeux, de Saint-Maxens et de Hupy. Goethals records her parentage and marriage[1179]. Her family origin and marriage are confirmed by the 21 Jun 1501 charter quoted below. m secondly (1473) as her first husband, MARGARETA van Horne, daughter of JACOB Graaf van Horne & his wife Johanna von Mörs (-15 Dec 1518). Goethals records her parentage and marriage in 1473, as well as her date of death (no sources cited)[1180]. She had been betrothed to his son Arnoud, see below. She married secondly Jean de Montmorency Heer van Nevele. Filip & his first wife had four children:

(a) ARNOUD van Horne (-1505, bur Anderlecht). His parentage is confirmed by the 21 Jun 1501 charter quoted below. Heer van Gaesbeek.

(d) ANTON van Horne . Goethals records his parentage and death unmarried (no date given)[1186]. Seigneur de Heubessent.

Filip had [six or more] illegitimate children by unknown mistresses (the following information has been copied from Goethals[1187], unless otherwise stated below):

(e) GUILLAUME de Horne . m HELENE Gillion Dame de Coyeghem, daughter of ---. Guillaume & his wife had one child:

(1) JACQUES de Horne . Seigneur de Coyeghem. m MARIE de Melun Dame de Monchy, de Pieton, de La Barre et de Rollecourt, daughter of JACQUES bâtard de Melun & his wife Colette de Manchicourt. Jacques & his wife had two children:

Dame de Coyeghem, de Monchy, de Pieton, de La Barre et de Rollecourt. m ADRIEN d’Esclaibes Seigneur de Clairmont, d’Inchies, de Péruwez, et d’Avesnes, son of GEORGES d’Esclaibes Seigneur de Clairmont, d’Inchies, de Péruwez, et d’Avesnes & his wife Marie de Villers (-1614, bur Inchies).

b. HONORINE de Horne . m CHARLES de Bernemicourt Seigneur de Dossemer, son of PHILIPPE dit CHARLES de Bernemicourt & his wife Antoinette de Haget Dame de La Motte.

(f) JEANNE de Horne (-after 14 Nov 1514). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage, noting that she was the daughter of “Françoise de Hondesckotte” (no source cited)[1188]. Kerrebrouck records Jeanne as illegitimate daughter of “Guillaume, alias Philippe, légitimé de Hornes, et d’Hélène Gilloen [shown above as Jeanne’s sister-in-law]” but adds that “Certains croient Jeanne de Hornes filles de Philippe de Hornes, chev., seigneur de Beaudignies [Baucigny], Hondschoote, Gaesbeek, et de Françoise de Hondschoote, tels le manuscrit De Jonghe, f^o. 165”[1189]. The chronology of the Horne family indicates that she was more likely the daughter of Filip, as shown by Goethals (who does not name Jeanne’s mother)[1190]. Moilon & Canaye record the couple’s marriage contract “passé à Bruxelles l’an 1450” (no source citation)[1191], the date being incompatible with one supposed birth date of the couple’s oldest son. A document dated 14 Nov 1514 records the division of the succession of “feu noble seigneur Jean de Bourgoingnien, vivant chevalier, seigneur d’Herlaer, et de dame Jeanne de Horne, époux et épouse leurs père et mère”[1192], indicating that Jeanne was living at that date as she was not “feue”. m ([Brussels 1450[1193]]) JEAN bâtard de Bourgogne Seigneur de Herlaer, d’Amerval, et de Montrécourt, illegitimate son of JEAN bâtard de Bourgogne Bishop of Cambrai & his mistress Marguerite Abseloens ([Louvain 1424[1194]]-[24 Dec 1506/14 Nov 1514], bur Vilvoorde).

(h) --- de Horne . m NICOLAS van Houte, son of ---.

(i) --- de Horne . m GUILLAUME de Craen, son of ---.

(j) one or more other child/children . Goethals records that Filip van Horne “laissa aussi plusieurs enfants naturels qui ne sont pas tous nommés dans son testament”, adding that “Nous connaisson et citons seulement :” naming the five children shown above[1195]. The number of his other illegitimate children is not known.

Dirk-Loef & his [second] wife had [two] children (their estimated marriage dates suggest that their mother was their father’s second wife, although the question is not beyond all doubt):

2. [JAN van Horne (-after 1390). Goethals records “Jean de Hornes dit de Wilde sire de Bronshoren” as the younger son of Dirk-Loef (no source cited)[1196]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified, although it appears consistent with his later acquisition of Kessenich, maybe through the influence of his supposed paternal uncle Arnold van Horne Bishop of Liège. Heer van Kessenich (named as such in the 1390 document cited next: follow the hyperlink for discussion about how Jan may have acquired Kessenich. Heer van Bocholt, de iure uxoris: “Joannes de Horne Dnus de Kesseninck” made relief (“relevavit”) for “dominium de Bouchout” after the death of “Dni Ostonis de Elslo sui avunculi” by charter dated 1390[1197]. No source has been found which names Jan after 1390, although he presumably survived for at least a few years after that date.] m [firstly] ([1389/90?]) ---, daughter of --- ([1375/76?]-[1390/91?]). Heiress of Bocholt: her interest in Bocholt and her marriage are suggested by the following document: [her husband] “Joannes de Horne Dnus de Kesseninck” made relief (“relevavit”) for “dominium de Bouchout” after the death of “Dni Ostonis de Elslo sui avunculi” [Oyst [IV] van Borne Heer van Elsloo] by charter dated 1390[1198]. Follow her hyperlink for the discussion about her possible parentage. Oyst [IV] died [8 Mar 1373/1374] as shown above, Jan’s delayed relief in 1390 could be explained if he had acquired his rights through his recent marriage. [Heiress of Kessenich?: follow her hyperlink for discussion about her possible connection with Kessenich, which seems unlikely to be correct.] It is possible that Jan van Horne’s wife died soon after their marriage. Maybe Jan van Horne’s wife died soon after their marriage, a suggestion which is consistent with Bocholt passing later to Hubert de Bunde, the husband of her supposed younger sister. The suggestion would also be consistent with Ludwig von Reifferscheidt making relief for Bocholt 8 Feb 1391 (O.S.), although, as explained under Bocholt, that document does not mean that Ludwig was inevitably her father. [m secondly ---. The possibility of a second marriage is indicated below under Jan’s son Arnold.] [Mistress (1): ---. The possibility of Jan’s son Arnold being illegitimate is discussed below.] Jan & [his first wife/second wife/Mistress (1)] had [two] [illegitimate?] children:

a) ARNOLD van Horne “de Wilde” ([1391/1400?]-[9 Sep 1445/11 Feb 1448]). Goethals names “Arnoud de Hornes seigneur de Bronshoren et de Kessenich” as son of Jan van Horne (no source cited)[1199]. The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Heer van Kessenich, Heer van Bronshorn: “Johan van Loen, here zo Guylge, zo Heinsberge ind zo Lewenberg” [Johann [II] von Heinsberg] renounced his rights in the “sloss ind herrlichkeit van Kessenich mit den laten van Brunszhorn...” in favour of “Arnt von Huerne, gnant die Wilde...ind Lieszbetten, synre eliger huiszfrauwen, unszer naturlicher dochter”, provided that these rights would revert if the couple died childless, by charter dated 24 Aug 1429[1200]. This apparent grant of Kessenich to Arnold de novo seems surprising, considering that Arnold would presumably have inherited his rights in the fief from his father. One possible explanation is that the rights of Arnold’s father to Kessenich lapsed when he died, maybe because Arnold was born from a second marriage of his father (assuming that Jan’s first wife was heiress of Kessenich, which looks unlikely as discussed elsewher) or because Arnold was illegitimate. The latter possibility could explain (1) his name “de Wilde” and (2) his marriage with Johann’s illegitimate daughter, which may not have been accepted by the Horne family unless his own birth was also tainted by illegitimacy. Arnold’s date of birth is shown as [1391/1400?] to cover all these possibilities. It should be emphasised that these possible cases remain speculative and are unconfirmed by specific documentation. “Aenrolt van Huerne, heer te Kessenich, en Lysabeth van Heynsberg, echtelieden” confirmed a donation to Roermond by charter dated 24 Jan 1435[1201]. “Arnold van Hoorn, heer van Kessenich” confirmed a sale of property made by “Henric van Krickenbeck” by charter dated 9 Sep 1445[1202]. Chestret de Haneffe says that Arnold died “entre les années 1435 et 1447” (no sources cited, although the 11 Feb 1447 (O.S.) charter quoted below names his son as Heer van Kessenich)[1203]. m (before 24 Aug 1429, maybe several years before) ISABELLE [Elisabeth] de Looz, illegitimate daughter of JOHANN [II] [de Looz] Herr zu Jülich und Heinsberg [Sponheim] & his Mistress --- (-after 1457). “Johan van Loen, here zo Guylge, zo Heinsberge ind zo Lewenberg” renounced his rights in the “sloss ind herrlichkeit van Kessenich mit den laten van Brunszhorn...” in favour of “Arnt von Huerne, gnant die Wilde...ind Lieszbetten, synre eliger huiszfrauwen, unszer naturlicher dochter”, provided that these rights would revert if the couple died childless, by charter dated 24 Aug 1429[1204]. The naming of her son Jan van Horne as Heer van Kessenich in the 11 Feb 1447 (O.S.?) charter quoted below (presumably when he was already an adult) suggests that the marriage took place several years before 1429. The wording of this document, which does not name Isabelle’s mother, appears to confirm that she was illegitimate. Chestret de Haneffe, presumably respecting the wording of this charter, says that “Arnold de Horne dit de Wilde” married “Elisabeth, fille naturelle de Jean de Looz, seigneur de Heinsberg et de Juliers”, without naming the bride’s mother[1205]. The question, however, is confused by other authors. Goethals records that “Arnoud de Hornes seigneur de Bronshoren et de Kessenich” married “Isabeau de Loen fille de Jean de Loen sire de Heinsberg, comte de Loen, et d’Anne comtesse de Solms” (no source cited)[1206]. Wouters says that “Arnold de Hornes, seigneur de Kessenich et de Brunshorn” married “Isabelle ou Elisabeth de Looz, fille naturelle de Jean de Looz, issu des comtes de ce nom, sire de Heinsberg, et d’Anne, comtesse de Solms” (no sources cited)[1207]. Van Der Chijs, presumably following Wouters, says that “Arnold van Hoorne, Heer van Kessenich en Brunshorn” married “Elizabeth van Loon, natuurlijke dochter van Jan van Loon, gesproten uit de Graven van dezen naam, Heer van Heinsberg en van Anna Gravin van Solms”[1208]. The basis for all three authors naming Anna von Solms (Johann [II]’s second wife) as Isabelle’s mother is not known, but if her marriage is correctly dated to 1423 (the date is reasonable considering the death of her first husband in 1419) it is chronologically impossible. Isabelle’s family origin and marriage (although not her mother’s identity) are confirmed by the 16 Oct 1456 charter cited below under her son, assuming that the terms “matertera” and “avunculus” can be interpreted in their strict sense of maternal aunt and maternal uncle. “Aenrolt van Huerne, heer te Kessenich, en Lysabeth van Heynsberg, echtelieden” confirmed a donation to Roermond by charter dated 24 Jan 1435[1209]. Jan van Horne sold land “enclavés dans la ferme de Visscher-Oe” to the Cistercian convent of Ruremonde, with the consent of “sa mère Elisabeth et sa sœur Catherine, avec son époux Jean Kollaert”, by charter dated 1457[1210]. Arnold & his wife had two children:

i) JAN van Horne “de Wilde” ([before 1225?]-Liège 28 Oct 1468). His parentage is confirmed by the 1457 charter cited above under his mother. Heer van Kessenich. A “schouwing” at Neeritter dated 11 Feb 1447 (O.S.?) was subscribed by “heer Johan van Hensberch, bisschop tot Luyck, heer Jacop graeff van Horne, heer Johan de Wilde heere tot Kessenich ende eyne abtdissen van Thoern ende twee heeren van St-Lambrecht tot Luyck”[1211]. Jan later claimed the seigneurie de Bocholt[1212]: “Dominus Joannes de Hornes, dictus de Wilde, dominus temporalis Kessenich, miles...proximior hæres dominii et bonorum de Bouchout, idem dominium et villam de Bouchout” gave relief (“relevavit”) at Curange (“Curengensi”) except for “usufructu Philippæ de Heynsberg, relictæ cujusdam Johannis de Bunne, ejus materterræ”, as decided by (“super dictamen seu determinationem”) “domini Joannis de Heynsberg, sui avunculi”, by charter dated 16 Oct 1456[1213]. Jan’s rights to Bocholt were challenged by his maternal aunt and her younger son: “Jouffrow Philippa naturlyke dochter van Heinsbergh, wilen wettige huysfrouw Johans van Buene, heer tot Bouchout” was confirmed in her rights “tot Bouchout” by charter dated 23 Oct 1457[1214], while “Osto de Bunne” (see the document LIMBURG) made relief (“relevavit”) as “propinquior heres et successor quondam Joannis de Bunde dni de Bouchout sui fratris” for “dominium villam et homines de Bouchout...a dno comite Lossensi in feudum moventibus”, after the death of “domicelle Philippe, naturalis de Heinsberg, uxoris dicti Joannis” who held a life interest, by charter dated 22 May 1458[1215]. The dispute over Bocholt persisted, until “Dnus Joannes de Wilde, Dnus temporalis de Kessenich miles” renounced his claim to “dominio et villa de Bouchout” in favour of “Dnum Jacobum comitem de Hurne, dnum de Altena, de Corteshem” by charter dated 3 Mar 1464[1216]. Jan van Horne sold land “enclavés dans la ferme de Visscher-Oe” to the Cistercian convent of Ruremonde, with the consent of “sa mère Elisabeth et sa sœur Catherine, avec son époux Jean Kollaert”, by charter dated 1457[1217]. Chestret de Haneffe traces the subsequent career of Jan “de Wilde”, in particular his military opposition to Louis de Bourbon bishop of Liège, and his death at Liège 28 Oct 1468 after falling from the ramparts of the city[1218]. m ---. The name of Jan’s wife is not known. Chestret de Haneffe names her “N. Van Balveren?” without specifying the basis for his speculation[1219]. Jan & his wife had [two children]:

(a) [JAN van Horne “le Discret” . Goethals records his parentage (no source cited)[1220]. Chestret de Haneffe provides no information about Jan except a reference to Goethals[1221].]

(b) [ARNOLD van Horne “de Wilde” . Chestret de Haneffe suggests that “cet Arnold de Horne, dit le Sauvage, qu’on rencontre plus tard en qualité de seigneur de Kessenich” (no sources cited) was another possible son of Jan[1222]. same person as...? ARNOLD de Wilde (-after 29 Nov 1493). “Arnold de Wilde heer van Kessenich...” was named in a charter dated 29 Nov 1493[1223]. “Arnoult le Wilde...heer van Kessenich” was named in a charter dated to the end-15th century[1224]. Henkens records Arnold as son of Catherine van Horne (wife of Jean Kollaert/Collard, shown below), noting that in 1492 “jofvrouw Kathrijn van Kessenich” was named with “haar momber en zoon jr. Aret de Wilde, heer van Kessenich”[1225]. If this document refers to the same “Arnold de Wilde”, Chestret de Haneffe was incorrect in suggesting that he was the son of Jan van Horne.]

ii) CATHERINE van Horne (-[after 1492?]). Goethals records Catherine as the daughter of Jan, son of Arnold (no source cited)[1226]. Chestret de Haneffe says that Catherine was the daughter Arnold, saying that he was correcting Goethals[1227]. Catherine’s parentage and marriage are confirmed by the following document, Chestret de Haneffe suggesting that her husband “appartenait, selon toute apparence, à la maison dite de Nunhem”[1228]: Jan van Horne sold land “enclavés dans la ferme de Visscher-Oe” to the Cistercian convent of Ruremonde, with the consent of “sa mère Elisabeth et sa sœur Catherine, avec son époux Jean Kollaert”, by charter dated 1457[1229]. Henkens records that Catherine was named in the 1492 charter cited above. m (before 1457) JEAN Kollaert [Collard], son of ---. Henkens records the possible descendants of this couple in the 16th and 17th centuries[1230].

b) [JAN van Horne “de Wilde” . Goethals records his parentage (no source cited)[1231]. Could there be confusion with the other Jan “de Wilde” named above?]

3. MAGDALENA van Horne . Her parentage and marriage are recorded in the late 15th century continuation of the [1350] genealogy of the Conflans family (which, as noted above, incorrectly identifies her husband as Jean [II] de Conflans)[1232]. m ([1395]) JEAN [III] de Conflans Seigneur de Vieilmaisons, son of JEAN [II] de Conflans Seigneur de Vieilmaisons & his wife Péronne de Jouvengues ([1350/70]-after 1415).

The following reconstruction of the later generations of this family is an outline which shows selected family members only, mainly for hyperlinking to other families studied in Medieval Lands. Goethals provides more details[1233]. The information has not been verified against primary source documentation, unless otherwise stated.

ARNOUD van Horne, son of FILIP van Horne Seigneur de Baucigny, Heer van Gaesbeek & his first wife Jeanne de Lannoy Dame de Brimeux (-1505, bur Anderlecht). Heer van Gaesbeek. Vicomte de Furnes et de Bergues-Saint-Winoc. A charter dated 21 Jun 1501 records an agreement between “Jehan de Melun chevalier et madame Marie de Sarrebruche sa femme seigneur et dame d’Antoing, de la châtellenie de Bailleul en Vimeu” and “Jehan de Hornes...chevalier seigneur de Baucignies” regarding an agreement made by “Arnoud de Hornes chevalier seigneur de Gaesbeek...comme héritier de défunte madame Jeanne de Lannoy en son vivant femme de défunt messire Philippe de Hornes...père et mère dudit messire Arnoud et dudit messire Jean” and “Marguerite fille...de moi Jean fils aîné de Heinsberg, âgée environ de neuf ans” by charter dated 2 Mar 1432[1234]. Goethals records his death in 1505 and burial at Anderlecht[1235].

Betrothed (contract 1464) to MARGARETA van Horne, daughter of JACOB Graaf van Horne & his wife Johanna von Mörs (-15 Dec 1418). The marriage contract between “Jacques comte de Hornes...damoiselle Marguerite puinée fille de nous Jacques et de dame Jeanne fille de Meurs” and “Philippe de Hornes seigneur de Baucignies...Arnoud de Hormes chevalier fils de nous Philippe seigneur de Gaesbeek...et de dame Jehanne de Lannoy” is dated 1464, a note attached to the document recording that “il n’a tenu á messire Arnoud qu’il n’a eu ladite dame, mais à son père, à elle et à ses parents”[1236].

m MARGUERITE de Montmorency, daughter of JEAN de Montmorency Heer van Nevele & his wife Gudula Vilain Vrouw van Liedekerke. Goethals records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[1237].

2. ALBERT van Kuyc (-[2/3] Feb 1200, bur Liège Saint-Lambert). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1194 the election of "apud Leodium Symon ducis Henrici de Lemborgh filius frater Galeranni, consobrinus episcopi Alberti nuper defuncti", the counter-election supported by “Balduino comite...apud Namucem” of “archidyaconus Albertus de Cuic” who gained control of “castrum de Hoio” but did not enter Liège for two years, the journey made by both candidates to Rome where “Symon” was poisoned, died “Kal Aug...cum multi sue ecclesie canonici” and was buried “in ecclesia Lateranensi”[1259]. The Continuatio Aquicinctina of Sigebert's Chronica records in 1195 that Pope Celestine III annulled the election of “Symonis Leodicensis” and confirmed “Autberti”, but that rumours reached Liège that the latter had died in Rome, whereupon “canonicum Philippi de Falconis monte filium”[1260]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1194 that, after the death in Rome of "Symonem" his supporters elected “archidyaconum Ottonem...fratrem Gosuini de Monte Falconis, primo in prepositum et post in episcopum” in opposition to “archidyaconus Hugo nepos prepositi defuncti frater Roberti de Petraponte domni”, that Otto soon died, but that “Albertus” had remained in Rome, accepted bribes from Romans, and had already been able to secure the annulment of Otto´s consecration[1261]. Bishop of Liège [1195/96]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records in 1196 that "Albertus de Cuik" returned from Rome and entered Liège as “consecratus episcopus”, and held office for four years[1262]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the death in 1200 of "apud Leodium Albertus episcopus qui dicebatur de Cuic" and the succession of “magister Fulco” who arrived at Liège but died in the same year[1263]. The Aegidii Aurævallensis Gesta Episcoporum Leodiensium records the death in 1200 “apud Leodium” of “Albertus episcopus” and his burial “in ecclesia sancti Lambert...III Non Feb”[1264]. The necrology of Brogne records the death "IV Non Feb" of "domnus Albertus episcopus frater nostre societatis"[1265].

JAN [I] van Kuyc, son of HENDRIK [III] van Kuyc & his wife --- (-13 Jul 1308). Heer van Kuyc.

"...Jan here van Cuuc riddere..." is named as present in the charter dated 12 Jun 1290 under which Floris V Count of Holland granted property to "Claise van Cats"[1286]. “...Johannem dominum de Kuuck, Henricum et Wilhelmum eius filius milites” witnessed the charter dated 1295 under which Johannes von Nassau “quondam Traject. electus” committed not to disturb certain churches[1287]. A charter dated 12 Jul 1300 records that “Jehans Sires de Kuc” swore allegiance to Jan II Count of Holland[1288]. “...Joannem dominum de Cuyck, Henricum primogenitum domini de Cuyck...” witnessed the charter dated 1333 (must be incorrectly dated: 1303?) under which Jean III Duke of Brabant confirmed the privileges of "Gerardus dominus de Diest"[1289]. “Johannes dns de Cuyk” established jurisdictional limits in his lands, with the consent of “collateralis nostre...Juthe dne de Cuyk nec non filiorum nostrorum Johannis Sancti Servatii Trajectensis et Lovaniensis ecclesiarum ppti. et Ottonis dni de Zeelehem militis, ac nepotis nostri Johannis de Cuyk”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1308[1290]. Paringet records that Jan [I] died 13 Jul 1308[1291].

m ([1260]) JUTTA von Nassau, daughter of HEINRICH [II] "der Reiche" Graf von Nassau & his wife Mechtild van Gelre (before [1247/50]-1313). Her parentage and marriage are confirmed by the charter dated 14 Jul 1285 under which "Johannes...Trajectensis electus" confirmed that Floris V Count of Holland had lent money to “domino Johanni de Kuke sororio nostro” in relation to “castri nostri de Hoerst”[1292]. “Johannes dns de Cuyk” established jurisdictional limits in his lands, with the consent of “collateralis nostre...Juthe dne de Cuyk nec non filiorum nostrorum Johannis Sancti Servatii Trajectensis et Lovaniensis ecclesiarum ppti. et Ottonis dni de Zeelehem militis, ac nepotis nostri Johannis de Cuyk”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1308[1293]. The testament of “Jutta de Nassau relicta domini Johannis quondam domini de Kuyc bone memorie”, dated 25 Jan 1312, bequeathed property to “dominum de Kuyc meum nepotem”, sealed by “dominorum Johannis...prepositi et Ottonis militis de Kuyc meorum liberorum, Johannis domini de Kuyc mei nepotis”[1294].

Jan [I] & his wife had [seven] children:

1. HENDRIK van Kuyc (-after [1303?], [maybe killed Maastricht Jul 1303 or 1304]). Butkens says that Hendrik was made a knight “à la bataille de Woeringen 1281” [misdated, should be 1288][1295]. “Jan Heere van Cuyck ende Henryck van Cuyck zynen oudtsten zone, Ridders” confirmed holding property from the bishop of Utrecht by charter dated 31 Mar 1290[1296]. “...Johannem dominum de Kuuck, Henricum et Wilhelmum eius filius milites” witnessed the charter dated 1295 under which Johannes von Nassau “quondam Traject. electus” committed not to disturb certain churches[1297]. “...Joannem dominum de Cuyck, Henricum primogenitum domini de Cuyck...” witnessed the charter dated 1333 (must be incorrectly dated: 1303?) under which Jean III Duke of Brabant confirmed the privileges of "Gerardus dominus de Diest"[1298]. The records relating to Hendrik’s death are confused. Butkens says that Thibaut de Bar, delayed in Rome after his appointment as bishop of Liège, named “ses freres Jean Sire de Puisoye et Pierre Sire de Pierrefort” to govern the bishopric, that in Jul 1304 “le Sire de Puisoye” besieged “la ville de Maestricht du costé de Wyck”, during the course of which “Henry fils aisné du Sire de Cuyck” was killed [Butkens’s table says Jul 1303] and “le Sire de Pierrefort…fut defaict et prins par le Sire de Riviere”[1299]. Paringet says that Hendrik was killed Jul 1304 at Maastricht[1300]. This report must refer to the same incident reported by Chapeauville who records that in Jul 1303 rebels in “Traiectenses episcopatus patriæ” seized “Traiectum versus Wyck”, and that during the attack by forces “pro parte Ducis” [the duke of Brabant] “dominus Wilhelmus primogenitus domini de Cuc” was killed[1301]. Follens provides further details, recording that Thibaut de Bar, delayed in Rome after his appointment as bishop of Liège, named his “fratres...Joannem ac Petrum” to govern the bishopric, that in Jul 1303 “Transmosani Trajectenses” rebelled and that during the siege (town not specified, but Follens names “Wick” in the margin) “Guilielmus Cuique comitis filius natu maximus” was killed by an arrow and “Petrus Barrensis” captured[1302]. The charters quoted above confirm that Hendrik was Jan [I]’s oldest son: it is not therefore known whether the inconsistency in Chapeauville and Follens relates to the name (“Guillelmus” instead of “Henricus”) or his primogeniture. All these reports could therefore refer either to Hendrik or to his younger brother Willem, although another possibility is that both brothers were involved in the conflict and were killed together. The inconsistency of the date, between 1303 and 1304, has not been resolved. m ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Hendrik’s wife has not been identified. Hendrik & his wife had one child:

a) JAN van Kuyc (-before 10 Oct 1320). “Johannes dns de Cuyk” established jurisdictional limits in his lands, with the consent of “collateralis nostre...Juthe dne de Cuyk nec non filiorum nostrorum Johannis Sancti Servatii Trajectensis et Lovaniensis ecclesiarum ppti. et Ottonis dni de Zeelehem militis, ac nepotis nostri Johannis de Cuyk”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1308[1303]. Heer van Kuyc. The testament of “Jutta de Nassau relicta domini Johannis quondam domini de Kuyc bone memorie”, dated 25 Jan 1312, bequeathed property to “dominum de Kuyc meum nepotem”, sealed by “dominorum Johannis...prepositi et Ottonis militis de Kuyc meorum liberorum, Johannis domini de Kuyc mei nepotis”[1304]. “Johannes dominus de Kuyc” donated property to Marienweerd “per nobilem virum dominum Ottonem de Kuyc nostrum patruum” by charter dated 7 Jul 1318[1305]. The date of his death is ascertained from the charter dated 10 Oct 1320 under which “Otto...dominus de Kuyc” confirmed a donation to Marienweerd contained in a charter issued by himself and “Johanne nostro consanguineo quondam domino de Kuyc”[1306].

2. WILLEM van Kuyc ([1260/65?]-after 1295, [12 Aug ----], [maybe killed Maastricht Jul 1303 or 1304]). “...Johannem dominum de Kuuck, Henricum et Wilhelmum eius filius milites” witnessed the charter dated 1295 under which Johannes von Nassau “quondam Traject. electus” committed not to disturb certain churches[1307]. The problem of Willem’s date and place of death is discussed above under his brother Hendrik. The necrology of Burtscheid records the death “II Id Aug” of “dns. Wilhelmus miles de Kuk” and his donation[1308]: this entry may refer to this Willem whose wife’s death was recorded in the same necrology. m JOHANNA [Sophia] von Gymnich, daughter of WENEMAR [I] von Gymnich & his wife Johanna Vrouw van Hoogstraeten (-11 Feb ----). Butkens records her parentage, but says that she married “Jean Sire de Cuyck” (as his only wife) and that the couple were ancestors of the later Heren van Hoogstraeten[1309]. Paringet names “Johanna van Ginnig dogter van Heer Wemmer van Ginnig Heer van Hoochstraten” as Jan [I]’s first wife and as mother of three sons[1310]. Johanna, as mother of Jan [I] van Kuyc’s children, is disproved by the 25 Jan 1312 testament of Jan’s known wife Jutta von Nassau which names her sons and grandson (see above). Nevertheless, the name of Willem’s second son indicates his likely descent from Wenemar von Gymnich. A simple solution is that Johanna van Gymnich in fact married Willem, son of Jan [I], and passed Hoogstraeten to her son Jan. This suggestion also appears consistent with the chronology of the Gymnich family: three charters dated between 31 Jul 1276 and Feb 1282 (O.S.) record that Beatrix, sister of Wenemar von Gymnich, exchanged Kerpen (her husband’s fief) with her brother for other properties. The second of these charters, dated 2 May 1282, records Beatrix’s three younger sons as under age at the time, which would be consistent with her niece Johanna being approximately the same age as Willem (who was probably born in [1260/75]) but not with Johanna being the first wife of Jan [I]. Europäische Stammtafeln names “Sophia von Gymnich” as Willem’s wife, presumably referring to the same person[1311]. The absence of her children from their paternal grandmother’s testament is presumably explained because they had already inherited Hoogstraeten and other properties from their mother. The necrology of Burtscheid records the death “III Id Feb” of “da. Sophia uxor domini Wilhelmi de Kuk” and her donation [1312]. Willem & his wife had two children:

a) JAN van Kuyc (-1358). Heer van Hoogstraeten: “Otto dominus de Kuyc” donated property to Marienweerd, supported by “Johannes de Kuyc dominus de Hoestraten et Wenemarus frater eius”, by charter dated 5 Jul 1346[1313]. Heer van Kuyc. "Conradus dominus de Dycka miles...necnon Ryckarde filie nostre" donated "jus patronatus ecclesia in Benebur prope Dickam" to Köln Cathedral, after consulting “dominis Johanne domino de Sleyde, Conrado preposito ecclesie s. Gereonis Coloniensis, eius fratre, Johanne de Hoenstrazen domino de Kucke, et Wilhelmo de Helpensteyn, nostris ex utroque parente consanguineis proximioribus et amicis”, by charter dated 7 Jan 1351 (N.S.?)[1314]. The precise family relationship between Jan van Kuyc Heer van Hoogstraten and Konrad Herr von Dyck [see the document FRANCONIA LOWER RHINE] has not been ascertained. As Jan’s paternal uncle Otto had also been named 11 Sep 1347 as Konrad’s “consanguineum” (see below), the relationship was presumably through the Kuyc family not through Jan van Kuyc-Hoogstraeten’s maternal ancestry.

- HEREN van KUYC[1315].

b) WENEMAER van Kuyc (-after 5 Jul 1346). “Otto dominus de Kuyc” donated property to Marienweerd, supported by “Johannes de Kuyc dominus de Hoestraten et Wenemarus frater eius”, by charter dated 5 Jul 1346[1316].

3. OTTO van Kuyc (-1350). Heer van Kuyc. “...Heren Janne den Here van Cuyke...Heren Otten van Cuycke...” are named as present in a charter dated 7 Apr 1306 under which “Gheraerd Here van Hoirne” confirmed land to “Woldrichem“, as granted by “onse Here onse vader ende Hair Willaem onse broeder“[1317]. “Johannes dns de Cuyk” established jurisdictional limits in his lands, with the consent of “collateralis nostre...Juthe dne de Cuyk nec non filiorum nostrorum Johannis Sancti Servatii Trajectensis et Lovaniensis ecclesiarum ppti. et Ottonis dni de Zeelehem militis, ac nepotis nostri Johannis de Cuyk”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1308[1318]. The testament of “Jutta de Nassau relicta domini Johannis quondam domini de Kuyc bone memorie”, dated 25 Jan 1312, bequeathed property to “dominum de Kuyc meum nepotem”, sealed by “dominorum Johannis...prepositi et Ottonis militis de Kuyc meorum liberorum, Johannis domini de Kuyc mei nepotis”[1319]. “Otte Here van Kuyc” granted property “van den Ghestichte van Utrecht...” to “Heren Ghysebrecht Here van Yselsteyn” by charter dated 7 Nov 1319[1320]. “Otto Dominus de Kuyck et Heverle” conferred “oppidum nostrum de Gravia” on Jean Duke of Brabant and received it back as a fief by charter dated 24 Jun 1323, witnessed by “Florentius ad prædicti Ottonis fratris Domini de Kuyck”[1321]. Heer van Mierlo en Zeelem. "Conradus dominus de Dycka" acknowledged holding “de fundo sive domistadio, supra quod castrum dictum Capelle abolim constructum fuit” in fief from “dominum Ottonem dominum de Cuke consanguineum nostrum”, by charter dated 11 Sep 1347[1322]. The precise family relationship between Otto Heer van Kuyc and Konrad Herr von Dyck [see the document FRANCONIA LOWER RHINE] has not been ascertained but, as Otto’s nephew Jan van Kuyc-Hoogstraeten was also named as Konrad’s relative 7 Jan 1351 (N.S.?) (see above), the connection was presumably through a relative who was common to both Otto and Jan. m firstly (before 24 Jun 1323) ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Otto’s first wife has not been identified. Butkens names her “Jenne Dame de Heverle”[1323]. m secondly ---. The primary source which confirms the name of Otto’s second wife has not been identified. Butkens does not name a second wife. m thirdly (1336) as her second husband, JEANNE de Flandre, widow of GERHARD Heer van Diest Borchgraeve van Antwerpen, daughter of GUILLAUME de Flandre Heer van Dendermonde & his wife Alix de Clermont-en-Beauvaisis (-after 1342). A register of fiefs compiled in 1408 by André de Maubeuge records that “Geert” married secondly “de dochter heer Willem van Vlaenderen”[1324]. The Chronicon Diestense records that “Gerardus primogenitus...domini Arnoldi” married secondly “dominam Johannam de Flandria filiam Wilhelmi comitis appellati sonder lant”[1325]. "Gerardus dominus de Diest et castellanus Antverpiensis…necnon…domina Johanna de Flandria eius coniunx" founded the church of Zeelhem, for the souls of "dominæ Mariæ piæ memoriæ dominæ quondam de Diest", by charter dated 1 Feb 1328[1326]. “Johannes...episcopus Trajectensis, Thomas et Arnoldus milites et confratres” confirmed dower for life to “dominam et sororem nostram dominam Johannam de Flandria dominam de Dyst, quondam...uxorem...fratris nostri domini Gerardi domini de Dyst bone memorie” by charter dated 14 May 1334[1327].

4. JAN van Kuyc (-after 25 Jan 1312). Provost at Utrecht and Louvain: “Johannes dns de Cuyk” established jurisdictional limits in his lands, with the consent of “collateralis nostre...Juthe dne de Cuyk nec non filiorum nostrorum Johannis Sancti Servatii Trajectensis et Lovaniensis ecclesiarum ppti. et Ottonis dni de Zeelehem militis, ac nepotis nostri Johannis de Cuyk”, by charter dated 20 Apr 1308[1329]. The testament of “Jutta de Nassau relicta domini Johannis quondam domini de Kuyc bone memorie”, dated 25 Jan 1312, bequeathed property to “dominum de Kuyc meum nepotem”, sealed by “dominorum Johannis...prepositi et Ottonis militis de Kuyc meorum liberorum, Johannis domini de Kuyc mei nepotis”[1330].

5. [MARGARETA van Kuyc . Paringet records her parentage and marriage in 1290 “of een weinig bevooren”[1331]. Butkens records records Margareta as the sister of Jan [I] Heer van Cuyk, which is impossible if Paringet correctly dates the marriage[1332]. m [[1289/90?]) JAN Heer van Heusden, son of ---.]

6. [MECHTELD (-after 24 Sep 1328). Keizer & Vermeulen suggest that Mechteld, wife of Dirk van Batenburg, was the daughter of Jan [I] Heer van Kuyc[1333]. They base their speculation on the chronology and on the following series of documents: [her son-in-law] Willem van Bronckhorst Heer van Batenburg, his wife Johanna and her sister Richardis sold property in Haren to Abtei Camp by charter dated 15 Jun 1318[1334], confirmed by Jan Heer van Kuyc by charter dated 8 Jun 1318[1335], and Reinald II Graaf van Gelre who confirmed the purchase made by from “Wilhelmum de Brunchorst” by charter dated 17 Jun 1318[1336]. They suggest that the 8 Jun 1318 confirmation indicates a close connection with Kuyc, although the names of the fiduciaries (which often include relatives) and witnesses (both listed by Dicks) provide no help in determining whether their suggestion is correct. While the complete text of the three documents has not been seen, one possibility appears to be two levels of fiefholding: Kuyc holding from Gelre, and Batenburg from Kuyc. Mechteld, wife of Dirk, was named in charters dated 18 Sep 1291[1337] and 24 Sep 1328[1338]. m ([before 1280?]) DIRK Heer van Batenburg, son of GERARD Heer van Batenburg & his second wife Elisabeth van Elsloo ([after 1255/59?]-before 15 Jun 1318).]

7. AGNES van Kuyc (-1345, bur Heysterbach). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified. Butkens records her parentage and marriage, the couple’s dates of death and their place of burial[1339].

"Heinrich here van Lewinberg ind Agnes unse...wif" confirmed allegiance to “grave Wilhelm van Gulge” by charter dated 21 Jan 1333[1341]. m HEINRICH von Löwenberg, son of JOHANN von Sponheim Herr von Löwenberg & his wife Gisela [von Falkenstein] (-1342, bur Heysterbach).

Chapter 4. ZEELAND

As noted in the Introduction to the present document, this chapter shows nobility based in Zeeland, approximately corresponding to the present-day Dutch province of Zeeland.

A. HEREN van ARNEMUIDEN

Arnemuiden is located on the eastern side of Middelburg in the province of Zeeland. The primary sources which confirmed the family relationships shown below have not been identified unless otherwise stated.

1. PIETER van Arnemuiden . m ---. The name of Pieter’s wife is not known. Pieter & his wife had one child:

a) ANTONIS van Arnemuiden . "Anthuenis des heren Pieters sone van Arnemuden..." transferred property “tote Arnemuden” to Florent de Hainaut by charter dated 24 Jun 1273[1352].

2. BOUDEWIJN . m ---. The name of Boudewijn’s wife is not known. Boudewijn & his wife had one child:

a) GILLIS [I] van Arnemuiden (-after 26 Mar 1323). Willem III Count of Holland sold land at “Arnemuden” to “Gillys Boudyns sone” by charter dated 26 Mar 1323[1353].

1. AELBRECHT van Arnemuiden . The primary source which confirms his name has not been identified. m --- van Moerkerke [Maelstede], daughter of ---. The name of Aelbrecht’s wife is not known. Her family origin is indicated by the quarters “Ermue; Moerkercke” displayed on the epitaph of her granddaughter Maria, quoted below. On the other hand, the quarters of her supposed granddaughter Margareta record “Ermue; Maelstede...” (see below). Aelbrecht & his wife had one child:

a) GILLIS [II] van Arnemuiden (-after 15 Mar 1381). Heer van Arnemuiden. Seigneur d’Inchy en Cambrésis: the Marquis de Trazegnies records “Gilles I d’Arnemuiden, seigneur d’Arnemuiden et d’Inchy en Cambrésis” and “son épouse Marguerite de la Chapelle” dividing their territories between their children by charter dated 15 Mar 1380 (O.S.?) at Mons, witnessed by “Monseigneur de Barbenchon, seigneur de Bossut, Alois, Walencourt, Monseigneur Ernoul de Gavvre...Oste seigneur de Contrecours”[1354]. m MARGARETA van Visch dite de la Chapelle, daughter of --- van Visch & his wife --- van Axel (-after 15 Mar 1381). Her family origin and marriage are indicated by the quarters “...Capelle; Axelle” displayed on the epitaph of her daughter Maria, quoted below. The division of territories made by Gillis and Margareta van Visch-La Chapelle is dated 15 Mar 1380 (O.S.) (see above). Gillis [II] & his wife had [six] children:

i) MARIA van Arnemuiden (-4 Dec 1404, bur Middelburg). Her likely marriage date, consistent with the chronology of the Borselen family, suggests that Maria was one of her parents’ oldest children. An epitaph at Middelburg records the burial of “heer Clais van Borsele heer van Brugdamme” who died 1411 (O.S.) “5 lauwe” [5 Jan] and “Marie van Ermue vrauwe van Brugdamme“ who died 4 Dec 1404, her quarters were “Ermue; Moerkercke; Capelle; Axele”[1355]. m ([before 1385?]) CLAES van Borselen Heer van Brigdamme, son of AELBRECHT van Borselen Heer van Brigdamme & his first wife [--- van Brigdamme] (-18 Mar 1412, bur Middelburg).

ii) AELBRECHT van Arnemuiden (-after 16 Nov 1419). Heer van Arnemuiden. Albert Count of Holland granted property to “heer Albrecht van Arnemuiden” by charter dated 30 Sep 1398[1356]. “Aelbrecht van Arnemuiden” gave “Kempenhofstede” for dike construction by charter dated 16 Nov 1419[1357].

iii) [--- van Arnemuiden . Two factors indicate the likely existence of this person, who may in fact be the same person as Aelbrecht van Arnemuiden who is named above. Firstly, the 1436 marriage contract of Maria, daughter of Gillis [III], suggests her birth in [1420/22] and therefore that of her father in the 1390s, meaning that he would have been many years younger than his siblings if he had been the son of Gillis [II]. Secondly, Gillis [III]’s second wife would have been the great-granddaughter of Maria van Arnemuiden, oldest daughter of Gillis [II]. Such a marriage at the time would appear unthinkable if Gillis [III] had been Maria’s brother, whereas a cousin marriage may not have been impossible. m ---. No indication has been found of this supposed person’s wife. [One child]:

(a) [GILLIS [III] van Arnemuiden (-before 27 Aug 1439). No primary source has been found which confirms his parentage, doubts about which are discussed above. Heer van Arnemuiden. “Gille d’Arnemude seigneur d’Inchies et d’Ingies écuyer” swore allegiance for Beaufraipont “par reportation de Hubin Chabot écuyer...” by charter dated 14 Feb 1429 (O.S.?)[1358]. The testament of Gillis and Anna van Borselen is dated 23 Jul 1438[1359]. He is named as deceased in his son-in-law’s 27 Aug 1439 charter cited below.] m firstly ([1420?]) MARIE Chabot Dame de Sepmeries et de Beaufraipont, daughter of JACQUES Chabot Seigneur de Sepmeries & his wife Maria van Wilde Vrouw van Streversdorp. Borman & Poncelet record her parentage and marriage, noting that her father was named until 1417 (no sources cited)[1360]. m secondly (before 23 Jul 1438) ANNA van Borselen, daughter of HENDRIK van Borselen Heer van Zandenburg & his wife Jeanne de Halluin ([1425?]-). Poswick records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[1361]. The date of her husband’s death, and her parents’ likely chronology, suggests that Anna was one of her parents’ oldest children. The testament of Gillis and Anna van Borselen is dated 23 Jul 1438[1362]. Gillis [III] & his first wife had two children:

(1) MARIA van Arnemuiden ([1420/22?]-Antwerp 1469). Saint-Genois reproduces parts of her marriage contract[1363]. Vrouw van Arnemuiden. m (contract 12 Feb 1436) ANSELME de Hamal Baron de Trazegnies, son of ARNAUD de Hamal Seigneur d’Elderen & his wife Anne de Trazegnies Dame de Trazegnies (-1489). “Ansiau de Hamalle seigneur de Silly écuyer, fils de monseigneur Ernoul, seigneur d’Odeur et de Trazegnies” swore allegiance for Beaufraipont “comme mari de damoiselle Marie fille de Gille seigneur d’Arnemude et d’Ingies écuyer et par décès de ce dernier” by charter dated 27 Aug 1439[1364].

(2) MARGARETA van Arnemuiden (-12 Oct 1447, bur Renescure). Chantelauze names her “Marguerite d’Armuyden” (no parents named) and records her date of death (incidentally reversing the order of Colard’s marriages)[1365]. Her marriage is dated to [1436/40?] considering the marriage contract of her older sister dated 12 Feb 1436. An epitaph at Renescure records the burial of “messire Collart de Comines seigneur de Renescure et de Saint-Venant en son temps souverain bailly de Flandres” who died 11 Jun 1451 [date incorrect] and “madame Marguerite de Trasengis dame Dernue en son vivante femme...de messire Collart” who died 12 Oct 1447[1366]. m ([1436/40?]) as his first wife, COLARD de la Clyte de Comines Seigneur de Renescure, son of --- (-[1 Mar 1454/12 Aug 1456], bur Renescure).

iv) LIJSBETH van Arnemuiden . m as his second wife, CLAES Kervinc Heer van Reimerswaal, son of ---.

v) CATHERINA van Arnemuiden .

vi) [MARGARETA van Arnemuiden (-bur [Hoedekenskerke]). An epitaph at Hoedekenskerke records a memorial to “mijnheere Willem de Vriese van Oostende” who had married “mevrau Margriete van Ermue fa mijnsheeren Gilles van Ermue” and died 19 Apr 1449, their quarters “hij...Oostende; Baesdorp; Borsele; Budland. Haer...Ermue; Maelstede; Capelle; Axele”[1367]. The reference to “...Capelle; Axele” suggests that Margareta was the daughter of Gillis [II]. m WILLEM de Vriese van Oostende, son of --- & his wife --- van Borselen (-19 Apr 1449, bur [Hoedekenskerke]).]

a) [SIBYLLE van Borselen ([1315/20?]-18 Oct 1352, bur Maldegem). Zondervan suggests her parentage, linking her supposed mother’s name with the Schoudee arms shown in the epitaph cited in the document FLANDERS NOBILITY[1398]. Duchesne records her family origin, marriage and date of death[1399]. The primary source which confirms her precise parentage has not been identified. An epitaph at Maldegem records the burials of “dnus Philippus de Maldeghem miles” who died 14 Aug 1373 and “domicella Sibilla de Borsele dna de Pepeghem uxor quondam dini Philippi de Maldeghem” who died 1352 “die sancti Lucæ”, with the arms of “op zijn zijde : Maldeghem; een gulden cruuce; Vleeschauwere; een gulden leeu met een bende daer over; ende op haer zijde : Moerkercke, Praet, Borsele, ende eenen schilt met 6 gulden besanten“[1400]. Zondervan shows the arms as [first column = husband’s] Maldegem, Mortagne, (Schelde) Rode, Trazegnies, and [second column = wife’s] Borsele, Schoudee, Praet, Heesbeen[1401]. The obituary of Maldegem records the deaths of “heer Philips van Maldeghem...sone van Mer Philips van Maldeghem die verslegen was te Lyons...vrauwen Sibelien van Borsele syns eerste wyfes, ende vrouwe Marien van Bethune zyns anders wyfs” and donations[1402]. m as his first wife, FILIP [V] Heer van Maldegem, son of FILIP [IV] Heer van Maldegem & his second wife Yolande de Mortagne (-14 Aug 1374, bur Maldegem).]

b) [ELISABETH . The documentation is contradictory regarding Elisabeth’s parentage. Zondervan notes an indulgence granted by Pope Clement VI to Floris van Borselen & his wife Elisabeth together with Jan van Kruiningen and his wife Elisabeth dated 17 Oct 1344, but suggests that there are heraldic indications that the second Elisabeth was a member of the Berlaimont family[1403]. Dek notes a 1600 manuscript in the Wassenaar family archive which records the death in 1354 of “Jan II Heer van Cruijningen en Woensdrecht” childless from his marriage to “Ysabeau van Borssele Florensdochter” who remarried “Jan van Ranst en Cantecroy heer van Bouchout” in 1381 and died childless in 1395[1404].

From a chronological point of view, this seems a reasonable suggestion, although she could presumably also have belonged to one of the other branches of the Borselen family. “Gérard de Wesemale et sa femme Marguerite seigneur et dame de Schooten et Merxem” granted property to the people of Merxem by charter dated 2 Feb 1313[1450]. m as his first wife, GERARD [III] van Wesemaal Heer van Merxem, son of GERARD [II] van Wesemaal Heer van Bergen op Zoom & his wife [Mathilde ---] (-[7 Sep 1331/24 Sep 1347]).]

Seigneur de Fallais: Charles Duke of Burgundy granted Fallais to Hendrik in 1470[1475]. Poswick provides some details about Hendrik’s career[1476]. An epitaph at Ter Veere records the burial of “mijnheere Heindric van Borsele, heere van der Vere, graeve van Groetvelt in Champagne, heere van Aggher, van Vlissinghe, Westcapelle, Domburch, Brauwershaven, rudder van den Orden van den Gulden Vliese, admirael van den coninck van Vrankerick ende daernaer van deze Nederlanden, raed camerlinck ‘s hertoghen van Bourgoignen Philips ende Charles” who died 15 Mar 1474 (O.S.?)[1477]. Another monument for the same couple at Zandenburg castle records his arms “Borsele; Viane; Borsele (...escartelé de Goije ou Berlemont...); Borsele (...srs de Brugdamme); Ermide; Egmond”[1478]. m ([1425?]) JEANNE d’Halluin, daughter of [ROLAND [Olivier?] d’Halluin Heer van Heemsrode & his wife Marguerite La Clyte] (-31 Dec 1467, bur Veere). Père Anselme records her parentage and marriage (no sources cited)[1479]. Poswick records her parentage, naming her mother “Marguerite de Comines” (no source cited)[1480]. The primary source which confirms her precise parentage has not been identified. The chronology of her husband’s family suggests her marriage in [1425?]. This seems late considering the chronology of her supposed father’s family: could there be a missing generation in her Halluin ancestry? This suggestion appears supported by the arms displayed on her epitaph, particularly “Hemstrode; Dudzeele; Maldeghem; Brabanson” attributed to her mother. An epitaph at Ter Veere records the burial of “mijnheere Heindric van Borsele, heere van der Vere...” who died 15 Mar 1474 (O.S.?) and “vrau Johanne van Halewijn, heer Hendricx wijf was” who died 31 Dec 1467[1481]. Another monument for the same couple at Zandenburg castle records her quarters “Halewijn; Uutkercke; Comines [...Mamps]. Zij brack haer waepen met Hemstrode-Capelle. Van haer moeders: Hemstrode; Dudzeele; Maldeghem; Brabanson”[1482], which seems confused. [There is confusion in secondary sources between Jeanne d’Halluin, wife of Hendrik van Borselen Comte de Grandpré, and Jeanne d’Halluin wife of Filip van Dixmude (a charter dated 10 Sep 1438 records the marriage between “Philips heere van Diksmude” and “Jehanne van Halewijn, dochter van ridder Jan van Halewijn”[1483]). The commentary in the manuscript of epitaphs in Flanders records that “deze Jehenne [referring to Hendrik’s wife] was wed^e van mer Philips heere van Dixmude, Watou ende Winnezeele”[1484]. Van de Putte also names Filip’s wife “Jeanne d’Halewyn dame de la Vere” (no source cited)[1485]. This suggested co-identity is impossible in view of the marriage date shown above and the 1444 marriage of Wolfard, son of Hendrik and his wife (see below).] Hendrik & his wife had four children:

(1) ANNA van Borselen ([1425?]-). Poswick records her parentage and marriage (no source cited)[1486]. The date of her husband’s death, and her parents’ likely chronology, suggests that Anna was one of her parents’ oldest children. The testament of Gillis and Anna van Borselen is dated 23 Jul 1438[1487]. m (before 23 Jul 1438) as his second wife, GILLIS [III] Heer van Arnemuiden, son of GILLIS [II] Heer van Arnemuiden & his wife Margareta van Visch dite de la Chapelle (-before 27 Aug 1439).

(2) WOLFARD [V] van Borselen ([1425/30?]-Gent 29 Apr 1487, bur Zandenburg castle). Heer van der Veere en Zandenburg. Earl of Buchan, de iure uxoris. He succeeded his father as Comte de Grandpré. Governor of Holland, Zeeland and Friesland 1477-1480[1488]. Poswick provides some details about Wolfard’s career[1489]. Barthélemy records that charters dated 1481 and 1485 granted “deux délais à Walfart de Borzelle, fils de Henri” and suggests that the last-named sold the county to Louis de Joyeuse [Seigneur de Bouthéon] (no date given), see below[1490]. An epitaph at Zandenburg castle records the burial of “heer Wulfaert van Borsele, grave van Groetvelt, Bouchane, heere van der Vere, Vlissinghe, Brauwershaven, Agger, Westcapelle ende Domburch, ruddere van der Ordens van den Gulden Vliese, admirael, raedt ende camerlinck...’sHertoghen van Bourgoigne ende zijnen stadthouder van Hollandt, Zeelandt ende Vrieslandt” who died at Gent 29 Apr 1487[1491]. m firstly (Veere, Zeeland [1444]) Lady MARY Stewart, daughter of JAMES I King of Scotland & his wife Joan Beaufort ([1435?]-20 Mar 1465, bur Veere). Her parentage is confirmed by her epitaph. The primary source which confirms the date of her marriage has not been identified. The family chronology suggests that Mary was little more than a child at the time, although her first known child was born in [1451] which in turn suggests that she could have been born in [1435]. She was granted the earldom of Buchan, probably on her marriage, thereby becoming Ctss of Buchan[1492]. An epitaph at Ter Veere records the burial of “mevr. Marie van Schotland fa Jacob coninck van Inghelandt, Schotland, gravinne van Bouchaue, d’eerste ghesellenede van mijnheere Wulfaert van Borsele ruddere...” who died 20 Mar 1465 (O.S.?)[1493].

An epitaph at Zandenburg castle records the burial of “vrau Charlotte van Bourbon fa Philips [error for Louis] grave van Clermont, broeder van den hertoch van Bourbon, die 2e huusvr. van mijnheere Wulfart van Borsele...” who died 14 Mar 1478 (O.S.?)[1495]. Wolfard [V] & his first wife had two children:

C. HEREN van RENESSE

Renesse is a village located on the northern coast of the island of Schouwen-Duiveland, the northern-most island in the present-day Dutch province of Zeeland. Two charters, dated 2 Jan 1279 and 15 May 1229 both of which are quoted below, suggest that the Renesse family originated either in Zierikzee on the southern coast of the same island or on the adjacent island of Goeree-Overflakkee to the north. The family acquired its interest in Renesse after exchanging property with Floris V Count of Holland as recorded in the 1229 charter.

Three family groups, possibly related to each other as they are all named in the same charter. Only the first of these families is stated in the charter to be directly connected with Zierikzee. The precise relationships between the three groups have not been ascertained, and the precise chronology of their lives is impossible to determine on the basis only of the charter dated 2 Jan 1279 in which they are named. The area named Dirksland in the document is located on Goeree-Overflakkee, the island which lies to the north of Schouwen-Duiveland.

1. DIRK van Zierikzee [Serixe] . He is named in the charter dated 2 Jan 1279 quoted below. m ---. The name of Dirk’s wife is not known. Dirk & his wife had two children:

a) HUGO van Zierikzee . Floris V Count of Holland granted "terram...Diederixland...inter aquas...Sonnemaer et Greveninghem", which had been held by “filiorum Theoderici de Zerixsee, domini Hugonis dicti condam de Zerixsee et Johannis fratris sui, Wolfaerdi et Dancardi filiorum Pauline fratrum, Colini et Hellinx filiorum Johannis fratrum”, to “domino Aelberto domino de Vorne” by charter dated 2 Jan 1279[1540].

b) JAN van Zierikzee . Floris V Count of Holland granted "terram...Diederixland...inter aquas...Sonnemaer et Greveninghem", which had been held by “filiorum Theoderici de Zerixsee, domini Hugonis dicti condam de Zerixsee et Johannis fratris sui, Wolfaerdi et Dancardi filiorum Pauline fratrum, Colini et Hellinx filiorum Johannis fratrum”, to “domino Aelberto domino de Vorne” by charter dated 2 Jan 1279[1541].

2. PAUL . He is named in the charter dated 2 Jan 1279 quoted below. m ---. The name of Paul’s wife is not known. Paul & his wife had two children:

a) WOLFARD . Floris V Count of Holland granted "terram...Diederixland...inter aquas...Sonnemaer et Greveninghem", which had been held by “filiorum Theoderici de Zerixsee, domini Hugonis dicti condam de Zerixsee et Johannis fratris sui, Wolfaerdi et Dancardi filiorum Pauline fratrum, Colini et Hellinx filiorum Johannis fratrum”, to “domino Aelberto domino de Vorne” by charter dated 2 Jan 1279[1542].

b) DANCARD . Floris V Count of Holland granted "terram...Diederixland...inter aquas...Sonnemaer et Greveninghem", which had been held by “filiorum Theoderici de Zerixsee, domini Hugonis dicti condam de Zerixsee et Johannis fratris sui, Wolfaerdi et Dancardi filiorum Pauline fratrum, Colini et Hellinx filiorum Johannis fratrum”, to “domino Aelberto domino de Vorne” by charter dated 2 Jan 1279[1543].

3. JAN . He is named in the charter dated 2 Jan 1279 quoted below. m ---. The name of Jan’s wife is not known. Jan & his wife had two children:

a) COLIJN . Floris V Count of Holland granted "terram...Diederixland...inter aquas...Sonnemaer et Greveninghem", which had been held by “filiorum Theoderici de Zerixsee, domini Hugonis dicti condam de Zerixsee et Johannis fratris sui, Wolfaerdi et Dancardi filiorum Pauline fratrum, Colini et Hellinx filiorum Johannis fratrum”, to “domino Aelberto domino de Vorne” by charter dated 2 Jan 1279[1544].

b) HELLINX . Floris V Count of Holland granted "terram...Diederixland...inter aquas...Sonnemaer et Greveninghem", which had been held by “filiorum Theoderici de Zerixsee, domini Hugonis dicti condam de Zerixsee et Johannis fratris sui, Wolfaerdi et Dancardi filiorum Pauline fratrum, Colini et Hellinx filiorum Johannis fratrum”, to “domino Aelberto domino de Vorne” by charter dated 2 Jan 1279[1545].

The family connection, if any, between Costijn [I] van Zierikzee and the above-named Zierikzee/Dirksland families has not been ascertained. Could he have been the same person who is named as “Colini” in the charter dated 2 Jan 1279 as noted above?

1. COSTIJN [I] van Zierikzee [van Renesse] (-after 2 Jul 1244). He established himself at Renesse after 15 May 1229, the date of a charter under which Floris IV Count of Holland exchanged "minen haimannen ende dunen vanden westendeel van Scouden wtgenomen Burch ende Haemstede" for property “in Sericze” with “heren Costijn”[1546]. Willem II Count of Holland renewed the toll concessions of Dunes abbey by charter dated 2 Jul 1244 "in domini Costini militis domo apud Rietnesse”[1547]. m (before [1235/40]) as her first husband, HILDEGUNDE van Voorne, daughter of HENDRIK Heer van Voorne & his [first] wife --- ([1220/25]-5 Apr 1302). Her two marriages are indicated by the charter dated 7 Feb 1292 under which [her son] "Johannes de Renisse miles" swore allegiance to Floris V Count of Holland, naming “Johannem de Renisse filium meum et Johannem filium quondam domini Costini de Renisse militis fratris mei bone memorie...dominum Theodericum de Brederode militem fratrem meum” as fiduciaries[1548]. The primary source which confirms her name has not been identified. The date of her first marriage is set by the probable birth of her son Jan [I] van Renesse in [1235/40]. If that is correct, Hildegunde must have been born in [1220/25], which suggests that she was considerably older than her brother Albert van Voorne, and may have been born from a different marriage. She married secondly (after Jul 1244, maybe before Jan 1250) Willem [I] Heer van Brederode, son of --- (-3 Jun 1285). Costijn [I] & his wife had two children:

a) JAN [I] van Renesse ([1235/40]-[7 Feb 1292/24 Aug 1299]). "Aelbrecht here van Voirne burchgrave van Zeelant" granted property to “Floris van den Velde” by charter dated 29 Apr 1267, sealed by “...heren Huygen...mijns ooms...heren Diericx...mijn ooms ende...heren Jans Persijns...ende...heren Willem...van Brederode...heren Aernoudts...van Eemskercke...Jan...van Riedenisse”[1549]. Considering that Jan [I]’s son is recorded as married on 15 Aug 1282 (see below), Jan [I] could not have been born much later than [1235/40]. Floris V Count of Holland confirmed rights of "Johannes de Husdenne et Th, frater suus", naming “dominum Johannem de Ridnisse militem, Costinum fratrem suum...”, by charter dated 14 Nov 1270[1550]. Floris V Count of Holland granted rights relating to Gouda to "here Jan van Renisse ende de sine, Jhanne sinen zone die Sophien heeft die joncvrouwen van der Gouden te wive", naming “dominum Johannem de Ridnisse militem, Costinum fratrem suum...”, by charter dated 15 Aug 1282[1551]. Guy Count of Flanders consented to “monseigneur Jean de Renesse” granting revenue from land near Renesse and at Rupelmonde to “dame Marguerite sa femme, fille de Huon Scerports” as dower by charter dated 18 Mar 1289[1552]. "Johannes de Renisse miles" swore allegiance to Floris V Count of Holland, naming “Johannem de Renisse filium meum et Johannem filium quondam domini Costini de Renisse militis fratris mei bone memorie...dominum Theodericum de Brederode militem fratrem meum” as fiduciaries, by charter dated 7 Feb 1292[1553]. Floris V Count of Holland confirmed that "Katherine vrouwe van Voerne burchgravinne van Zeelant, onse nichte, ende Gherart haer zoene" had agreed with “joncfrou Mabelian van Hoerne” concerning her inheritance from “haer Aelbrecht here van Vorne burchgrave van Zeelant...Aleyde vrou van Voern hare moeder”, by charter dated 28 Aug 1293, witnessed by “haer Jan van Renesse, her Diederic van Brederode...Henric Renesse...”[1554]. Jan’s first position in the witness list suggests seniority, which in turn indicates that the witness was more probably Jan [I] than Jan [II] van Renesse. m MARGRIET, daughter of HUGO Scerport & his wife ---. Guy Count of Flanders consented to “monseigneur Jean de Renesse” granting revenue from land near Renesse and at Rupelmonde to “dame Marguerite sa femme, fille de Huon Scerports” as dower by charter dated 18 Mar 1289[1555]. Willem III Count of Holland granted property in “Schouwes”, given by “die Grave Jan onsen...neven” to “Heeren Witte synes broeder”, and held by “Heer Jans van Renesse ende zyne broedere, ende Vrouwe Margrieta hoire moeder, ende Jans van Haemstede”, by charter dated 20 May 1313[1556]. Jan [I] & his wife had three children:

i) JAN [II] van Renesse (-drowned [16 Aug/12 Oct] 1304). Floris V Count of Holland granted rights relating to Gouda to "here Jan van Renisse ende de sine, Jhanne sinen zone die Sophien heeft die joncvrouwen van der Gouden te wive", naming “dominum Johannem de Ridnisse militem, Costinum fratrem suum...”, by charter dated 15 Aug 1282[1557]. Heer van Renesse. "Jan van Renesse riddere" swore allegiance to the Count of Holland after the murder of Count Floris V, naming “Henryck ende Costijn haren Jans broeders van Renesse voornoemt” who also swore allegiance, by charter dated 24 Aug 1299[1558].
