House of Glymes

Death of John II of Glymes, lord of Berghen

the House of Glymes was a noble house of Belgium, of descendants of a bastard branch of the Dukes of Brabant. Glymes or Glimes is a municipality of Incourt. Their descendants of the branch of Grimberghen are styled as the Prince de Grimberghen. The family became extinct in 1795.[1]

History

The house was founded by Jan Cordeken, Lord of Glymes, iligimate son of John II, Duke of Brabant. It was legitimized by Emperor Louis IV. John I obtained Bergen by marriage to Joanne of Boutersem. The house died out when the descendants of Henri Nicolas de Glymes de Hollebecque (1755–-1813) died without heirs.

The oldest generations called themselves in French de Glymes or in Dutch van Glimes. The younger branch of the Lords, Counts and Princes of Grimbergen called themselves in French de Berghes.

The family had many important possessions: since 1559 they were the Margraves of Bergen op Zoom, in french Berghes-sur-le-Zoom. Other notable possessions are: Florennes, Glimes, Grimberghen, Zevenkercke, Bierbais, Opprebais, Walhain, la Falize, ...

There were several canons, abesses and three bishops of Cambrai, a bishop of Antwerpen and Prins Bishop of Liege amongst the clergy of this family.
