JAN van Gavre “van den Eyghen” [de l’Alleud], son of RASO [X] van Gavre Heer van Liederkerke & his wife Marguerite d’Enghien ([1240/50?]-after Jul 1304). “Rasses de Gavre chevaliers sires de Liedekerke” sold property “en le parroche de Lombeke” to Guy Count of Flanders, with the consent of “Margherite femme audit Rasse seigneur de Liedekerke, dame de Liedekerke...Jehans lor fius de Liedekerke chevaliers”, by charter dated May 1286[2039]. Heer van den Eyghen [Seigneur de l’Alleud], de iure uxoris. “Johannes de Lidekerke miles” declared that Ninove had bought property from “Gerardum et Aegidium fratres, filios Addæ de Eyghem” by charter dated Jul 1289[2040]. “Johannes dictus Van den Eyghen filius quondam...domini Rasonis pie memorie domini de Lidekerke et de Breda miles et Aleydis eius uxor” donated “terra...parochiarum de Ekerni de sancti Jacobi de Hoghescoten” to the abbey of Saint-Bernard sur l’Escaut, in the presence of “domini Rasonis de Gavere, domini de Lydekerke et de Breda et domini Sygeri de Lyderkerka domini de Beaufort et de Crutbeke...germanorum mei”, by charter dated 8 Sep 1296[2041]. The testament of “Rase van Gavre heer van Liedekerke ende van Breda”, dated 23 Jun 1300, with the consent of “mynen outsten sone Raesen die heer is van Boulair”, bequeathed dower to “mynen...wyve ver Adewynen die dochter was eens edel mans heer Willems die wylen heer was van Stryene”, sealed by “Jan van Liedekercke heer van Eyghem broeder des heeren van Liedekercke voorseyd...”[2042]. The testament of Jan “sires del Alluet et d’Aelis nos femme dame de Contrecœur” is dated Jul 1304[2043]. Van de Perre and Van Hauwe suggests that Jan died before 1312 as he is not named in the Brabant book of fiefs cited below[2044]. However, the primary sources shown above associated Jan only with Alleud/den Eyghen/Neigem which was a Flemish fief.

m ALIX de Contrecœur/van Wedergraet Dame de l’Alleud [van den Eyghen], daughter of [OSTE [III] [de Trazegnies] Heer van Wedergraet/Seigneur de Contrecœur & his wife Clémence ---] (-after Jul 1304). The primary source which confirms her parentage has not been identified, but her inheritance of l’Alleud indicates a close relationship with Oste [III] whose ancestor Mathilde brought the property to the Trazegnies family. The Marquis de Trazegnies indicates that Alix was the daughter of Oste [III][2045]. Van de Perre and Van Hauwe say that it is assumed that Alix was Oste [III]’s daughter (“aangenomen wordt dat hij slechts één kind had, een dochter Aleidis”)[2046], suggesting the absence of any primary source confirming her parentage. Dame de l’Alleud: charters dated 1289, 1294 and 1304 name “Alix de Contrecuer Dame de l’Alleut”[2047]. The primary source which confirms her marriage has not been identified. However, her supposed husband is named “van den Eyghen” [=de l’Alleud] in the 8 Sep 1296 charter quoted above. The testament of Jan and his wife is dated Jul 1304, as noted above.

 Jan & his wife had [three] children:
