Quarter of Bruges (Castellanies of Bergues, Bourbourg, Bruges, Veurne).
Quarter of Ypres (Castellanies of Bailleul, Cassel, Courtrai, Ypres).
Quarter of Gent (Castellanies of the land of Aalst, the Four Offices, Gent [Oudburg], Oudenaarde, the land of Waas, Seigneuries of Bornem, Dendermonde).

The role of the châtelain (burchgraeve in Flemish) appears to have been similar to that of the vicomtes in other parts of France. This hypothesis is supported, in the case of the châtellenies of Bruges at least, by a passage in Galbert of Bruges, which recounts that Erembald murdered "Boldrannus castellanus…in Brudgis", married his widow, and took "vicecomitatum"[1]. Giry suggests that the case of Flanders was particular, in that the castellani were originally the military commanders of the series of castles constructed to protect against Vikings raids, that over time administrative and judicial duties were added to their role, and that their area of administration was extended to the whole town in which the castle had been built and eventually included the surrounding areas[2]. Starting as military officials appointed by the count, they developed into the count´s direct vassals, the fiefdoms becoming hereditary within the same families. As the châtelains became more influential and widened their areas of activity, appointed baillis assumed many of the their administrative duties. In addition, the towns assumed many of these responsibilities themselves. The result was that, by the 14th century, the position of châtelain was little more than a title which carried with it the right to receive fixed revenues[3].

Two brothers:

1. ARNOUD [IV] van Oudenaarde (-1242 or after). According to Europäische Stammtafeln[289], he was the son of Giselbert Heer van Oudenaarde and his wife Richilde.
