GAVERE
"GAVERE is a town in South-East-Flanders (Belgium) containing six villages (since 1976) : Gavere, Asper, Baaigem, Dikkelvenne, Semmerzake and Vurste...."
"Historically, the Lords of Gavere, during nine consecutive generations wearing the Christian name of Raas, belonged to the most important nobility of the County of Flanders since mid 11th century. They held the official function of cellarer of the Count of Flanders, and resided in a fortress on an island in the river Schelde (Scheldt).
"Their original territory was the Land of Gavere, containing the villages of Baaigem, Dikkelvenne, Gavere, Hermelgem, Meilegem, Paulatem, Semmerzake, Sint-Maria-Latem, Vurste and Wassene. Through the ages, the Lords of Gavere succeeded in expanding their territory with Chievres, Liedekerke, Eksaarde, Breda, the Land of Boelare and the Land of Schorisse. Under Jacob III of Luxembourg, the Land of Gavere became a county, and under Lamoraal Count of Egmont, it was raised to a principality (2).
"Gavere had a strategic position as a crossroad (north-south ax and east-west ax) and a tollage and crossing place on the river Schelde (Scheldt), equipped with a wooden turnbridge from 1812 on. Despite its favourable position, the economic development of Gavere lacked behind that of other Schelde cities like Gent (Ghent) and Oudenaarde. In 1658, the fortress of the Lords of Gavere was even dismantled, as the later Lords (the families Egmont and Pignatelli) preferred to reside in other places...." (Gavere)
"The Barons of Gavere, known since the middle of the Xth century, were considered as "one of the oldest, most powerful and most famous lineages of the County of Flanders". They tried every possible means to increase their domain, which more or less matched the today's municipality of Gavere. The Gavere lineage ended in 1325 with the violent death of its last male heir." (Gavere in FOTW)
Territorial Development and Dynastic History.
1518: Emperor Karl V made of Gavere a County granted to Jacob, Count van Egmont, who had married Francoise van Lusemburg and incorporated Zottegem to the domain of Gavere.
1540: Francoise van Luxemburg obtained the elevation of the County to a Principality.
1541: Domain of Gavere was transferred to Lamoraal van Egmont (1522-1568) after the death of his elder brother Karel.
1717: Gavere was inherited from the Egmont family by the Italian prince Nicolaas Pignatelli who had married Maria-Clara van Egmont.

This ancient immediate free Imperial seigniory is wholly rounded by the Munster amt of Ahausz, being at present of less extent than formerly. It had ancient Lords of its own who were not simple Knights by birth, but by the state of Lords, and were stiled noble. They were also tribunal-lords of the jurisdiction of Vem, in Latin domini judicii Vemici. In the year 1280 Godfrey and Goswin Lords of Gehmen, for their greater security, received their seigniories in fief of Count Theodorick VIII. of Cleve, they having been at first a fief of Liege, but afterwards made fiefs according to the Zutphen right, by which means the estates also were to descend to the females. Cordula, heiress and daughter to Henry the last Lord of Gehmen, brought the seigniory to her consort John Count of Schauenburg, in whose house it continued till the year 1640; when Otto the last Count of Schauenburg dying, Jodocus Count of Limburg and Bronkhorst, by virtue of his consort Maria, Countess of Schauenburg arrived to the possession of the seigniory of Gehmen. It still belongs to a line of the house of Limburg-Styrum. In the seventeenth century the bishopric of Munster wanted to obtain the superiority over this seigniory but was refused it by the Emperor, and the seigniory maintained it its immediacy or independency. The Count of Limburg-Styrum of Gehmen, on account of this seigniory enjoys both seat and voice in the Westphalian college of Counts of the Empire, and also at the Diets of the circle of Westphalia, at which he is called over after Blankenheim and Gerolstein...."
