According to Europäische Stammtafeln, Raso [VIII] van Gavre was a younger son of Raso [VI] van Gavre and his wife Clarice (see above)[601]. The primary source which confirms that this is correct has not been identified. The charter dated Jan 1232 quoted below confirms that the father of Raso [VIII] was called Raso but there is no confirmation of his mother’s identity. Giving the same name to two brothers was unusual in medieval times (sometimes when they were born to different mothers), but not unknown and in the case of certain families (for example Reuß and Schwarzburg in Thuringia) developed as a tradition. No other cases have yet been identified in the Gavre family.
1. RASO [VIII van Gavre] (-1241). Heer van Gavre: "Razzo dominus de Gavera pincerna Flandriæ et…Sophia uxor eius" founded "capellaniam in castro nostro apud Lidekerke" for Ninove, and confirmed donations made by "bonæ memoriæ Razzo dominus de Gavera pater mei Razzonis", by charter dated Jan 1232[602]. "Razo de Gavera cum filio meo Razone" donated revenue from "Bouchout" to Ninove by charter dated to 1232[603]. “Rasse seigneur de Gavre” donated harvest to Epinlieu abbey, for the souls of himself “[son]...épouse Sophie, de leurs enfants...”, by charter dated Aug 1232[604]. m ([1208?]%29 SOPHIE van Breda, daughter of GODEFRID [II] Heer van Breda & his wife Lutgarde van Cuyk (-after Aug 1232). Europäische Stammtafeln dates her marriage “um 1208”[605]. If that is correct, Sophie was already married when named in the following document: “Lutgardis domina de Scotis” donated “duodecim libras Flandrensis monete...apud Serber et...apud Perke loco...Bukt” to Antwerp St. Michiel, with the consent of “liberis meis...Godefrido, Egidio, Henrico, Sophia et Beatrice”, by charter dated 19 Apr 1219[606]. Sophie’s inclusion in this document suggests that she was not yet married at the time, although the birth date of her oldest son suggests that she married soon afterwards. Her marriage is confirmed by the charter dated 30 Mar 1257 under which “Raso miles dominus de Liedkerke tutor Henrici legitimi heredis de Breda” granted “terram...Agger” to “Henrico militi dicto Buffel” recording the conditions imposed by “Henricus bone memorie avunculus noster dominus de Breda”[607].

Arnout & his second wife had one child:
ii) JAN van Gavre ([1245/50]-killed in battle Furnes 20 Aug 1297). The primary source which confirms his parentage has not been identified. Seigneur de Hérimez, Heer van Impeghem en Noekere. Dirk van Beveren declared having had a document sealed by “la dame de Rumigny sa sœur, par ses cousins Monseignour Rigaut dou Rues et Monseignour Jean de Gavre qui sont chargés de garder son scel” by charter dated Aug 1282[651]. https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081- SEIGNEURS de HERIMEZ.
c) JAN van Gavre . Goethals records that his parentage is confirmed by the blazons which decorate his daughter’s tomb (in order “Bette, Comines, Ghistelles, Lichtervelde, Gavre, Breda, Exarde, van der Moere”)[652]. "Ioannes Mulaert dictus miles dominus de Exaerde" confirmed donations to Bodelo abbey at Gand, with the consent of "Rasonis filii mei primogeniti ætatis iam legitima, per manum...nepotis mei domini Hugonis castellani Gandensis", by charter dated Oct 1274[653]. m ELISABETH van Gavre dite d’Axele Dame d’Exarde, daughter of JAN van Gavre dit Mulaert & his wife Isabelle Vilain dite van der Moere. Goethals records her parentage and marriage without citing the corresponding primary source[654]. Jan & his wife had [four or more] children: https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081
i) AGNES van Gavre . Goethals records her parentage and marriage[655]. m SIMON Bette, son of GEROLF Bette Heer van Westacker & his wife Agnes van Gistel (-21 Dec 1307). An epitaph at Gent Dominican church records the burial of “Simon Bette miles primus hujus urbis scabinus” who died 21 Dec 1307[656]. https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081
ii) RASO van Gavre . "Ioannes Mulaert dictus miles dominus de Exaerde" confirmed donations to Bodelo abbey at Gand, with the consent of "Rasonis filii mei primogeniti ætatis iam legitima, per manum...nepotis mei domini Hugonis castellani Gandensis", by charter dated Oct 1274[657]. [same person as…? RASO van Herzele “Raso van Herzele” (-after 1330). Goethals records Raso (ancestor of the Seigneurs de Herleghem and later Graven van Liedekerke) as son of Jan van Gavre, younger son of Raso [VIII] and his wife Sophia van Breda, without citing the corresponding primary source[658]. Considerable uncertainty surrounds the precise parentage of the ancestor of the later Graven van Liedekerke, as discussed below.] https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081
iii) [two or more] son(s) . Their existence is assumed from their brother Raso being named “filii mei primogeniti” in the Oct 1274 charter quoted above. https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081d) MARIA van Gavre (-after May 1263). Her parentage is indicated by the charter dated Oct 1274 under which "Ioannes Mulaert dictus miles dominus de Exaerde" confirmed donations to Bodelo abbey at Gand, with the consent of "Rasonis filii mei primogeniti ætatis iam legitima, per manum...nepotis mei domini Hugonis castellani Gandensis"[659]. The primary source which confirms her parentage more precisely has not been identified. "Hugo castellanus Gandensis et Maria uxor mea" donated serfs to the church of Antwerp by charter dated 29 May 1243[660]. “Hugo castellanus Gandensis…Maria uxor dicti castellani” sold "villam de Bornhem cum castro" to "dominæ Margaretæ Flandriæ et Hannoniæ comitissæ" for his marriage to "Machtildis sororis meæ" by charter dated [Mar] 1250[661]. “Hugo unigenitus domini Hugonis castellani Gandensis ac domini de Hosdain et Marie eius uxoris” confirmed the donations of property “in loco...Westehuse” made to Cambron by “patris et matris mee” by charter dated May 1263[662]. m HUGO [III Burggraaf van Gent], son of HUGO [II] Burggraaf van Gent & his wife Eudette de Champlitte (-[Dec 1264/Apr 1265]). https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081
The parentage of the following person is uncertain. Goethals records him as Raso, son of Jan van Gavre (younger son of Raso [VIII] and his wife Sophia van Breda), without citing the corresponding primary source[692]. This suggestion does not adequately explain his name “van Herzele”. Goethals names his wife “Walburge de Herzelles”, presumably to provide an explanation[693], but Raso’s wife is recorded in other sources as “Clémence de Berchem” as shown below. Henriette Claessens recently reviewed the different theories, the most likely being that his mother was née Gavre, maybe a daughter of Raso [XII][694]. Presumably he could also have the illegitimate son of one of Raso [XII]’s sons. The Marquis de Trazegnies draws attention to the article on this family written by Henriette Claessens, who demonstrated that the descendants of Raso van Herzele replaced their name “Herzele” with “Liedekerke” only in 1362/66, suggesting that they were originally neither Gavre nor Liedekerke[695]. The Marquis highlights a charter dated 3 Jan 1366 (O.S.?) under which “Gérard de Rasseghem pour lui et pour son frère Philippe, Gérard de Steenhuyse, Bernard de Herzele, Sohier seigneur de Herzele, Jean de Saint-Venant, Baudouin van de Woestyne et Wautier de Herzele” promised to make payments to “Raessen van Liedekerke die men heet van Herzele, onse…neve”[696]. The Marquis also highlights another recent article by Paul Trio which adopts a different viewpoint[697].
1. RASO van Herzele, son of --- (-after 1330). “Rasso de Hersele miles...ad domum nostram apud Asplar” issued a charter dated 17 Mar 1301, witnessed by “Wal--- de Her-ele frater meus”[698]. The necrology of Ninove commemorates “XIV Kal Feb...domini Rasonis de Hersele et dominæ Clementiæ uxoris eius dictæ de Berchem, et Aleidis filiæ domini Walteri de Berchem”[699].] m CLEMENCE de Berchem, daughter of --- (-after 1330). Claessens names Raso’s wife “Clémence de Berchem”, citing a charter dated 1330 in which she is named “myns heeren mynher Raes wyfe van Hersele”[700]. The necrology of Ninove commemorates “XIV Kal Feb...domini Rasonis de Hersele et dominæ Clementiæ uxoris eius dictæ de Berchem, et Aleidis filiæ domini Walteri de Berchem”[701]. https://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/FLEMISH%20NOBILITY.htm#_Toc103320081- SEIGNEURS de HERLEGHEM, GRAVEN van LIEDEKERKE[702].
