Walter & his wife had [three] children:

1. LEON [III] van de Aa ([1155/70]-[Jul 1215/Dec 1217]). His birth date is estimated very approximately to test the chronology of this family. Heer van de Aa. “Gisla de A et Leonius filius meus” donated property “apud Watermale” to Forest abbey, for the soul of “domini et mariti mei Walteri de A”, by charter dated 1191[913]. “Leonius de Bruxella” donated “decimam...in parochia de Sanbergen”, with the consent .... He was deceased in Dec 1217, the date of his son’s charter quoted below. m as her first husband, CLEMENCE, daughter of ---.

Leon [III] & his wife had [four or more] children:

• a) WALTER van de Aa ([1190/1200]-[May 1235/1236]). His birth date is estimated very approximately to test the chronology of this family. "Leonius de Bruxella" donated property to the church of Anderlecht, with the consent of "matris meæ Gislæ, uxore mea Clementia, filio meo Waltero et reliquis liberis meis", by charter dated Jul 1215 witnessed by "cognati mei castellani Bruxellensis…Godefridus…"[1006]. Heer van de Aa. “Walterus dominus de Pollar”
• b) other children . "Leonius de Bruxella" donated property to the church of Anderlecht, with the consent of "matris meæ Gislæ, uxore mea Clementia, filio meo Waltero et reliquis liberis meis", by charter dated Jul 1215 witnessed by "cognati mei castellani Bruxellensis…Godefridus…"[1015].
• c) CLEMENCE van de Aa (-[before 1230]). Walter van de Aa donated property at Laeken to Cambre abbey, for “l’amour de sa sœur Clémence”, promising that “son frère Arnoul” would ratify the donation after attaining the age of majority, by charter dated 1230[1016]. The nature of this donation suggests that Clémence was deceased at the time, although the translated extract of the document is inconclusive.
• d) MATHILDE van de Aa ([1210?]-1284). “Clementia castellana de Bello Monte” donated property “in parrochia de Liniaco apud locum...Wivercen” to Affligem, with the consent of “marito mei Balduino et filiis meis Waltero domino de A et fratre ipsius Arnoldo ac filia mea Magtilde”, by charter dated Apr 1231[1017]. Arnoul van de Aa confirmed donations to Cambre abbey, and his protection against “sa sœur Mathilde et son époux sire Thierri de Walcourt”, by charter dated 1237[1018]. Wauters assumes that Mathilde’s husband was the older Thierry de Walcourt, father of “Stradiot”. However, this appears unlikely to be correct from a chronological point of view considering that the documents in which the children of Leon [III] are named suggest that they were born in the early 13th century. m ([Apr 1231/1237]) THIERRY de Walcourt “Stradiot”, son of THIERRY [II] Seigneur de Walcourt & his second wife --- (-1267).
• e) ARNOUL van de Aa ([after [1212]]-after Feb [1249/40]). Walter van de Aa donated property at Laeken to Cambre abbey, for “l’amour de sa sœur Clémence”, promising that “son frère Arnoul” would ratify the donation after attaining the age of majority, by charter dated 1230[1019]. As Arnoul was under age in 1230 he was presumably born towards the end of his father’s life. If that is correct, Arnoul was one of his parents’ youngest children. “Clementia castellana de Bello Monte” donated property “in parrochia de Liniaco apud locum...Wivercen” to Affligem, with the consent of “marito mei Balduino et filiis meis Waltero domino de A et fratre ipsius Arnoldo ac filia mea Magtilde”, by charter dated Apr 1231[1020]. “Walterus dictus dominus de A et Arnoldus frater eius” donated property “in parrochia de Anderlecht iuxta A in Hillenshout” to Brussels Saint-Jean by charter dated [11/30] Apr 1232[1021]. Heer van de Aa. Arnoul van de Aa confirmed donations to Cambre abbey, and his protection against “sa sœur Mathilde et son époux sire Thierri de Walcourt”, by charter dated 1237[1022]. Arnoul van de Aa freed serfs by charter dated Feb [1249/50][1023].
