--------------------------------------------------------

geboren omstreeks 1425 gehuwd omstreeks 1450. De adelijke familie Van der Meeren behoorde tot het Brussels patriciërsgeslacht Roodenbeke.

Recent wetenschappelijk onderzoek doet vermoeden dat de stad Brussel gesticht werd door de locale heren. Deze heren, ridders, traden ook op als beschermers van de handelaars, die zich aan de Zenne vestigden. (*)

Dit kan kloppen want de afstammelingen van de Heren van Bijgaarden behoren tot het geslacht Serhuygs en de afstammelingen van de Heren van Coeckelberghe (t'Seraerts en t'Serclaes) behoren ook tot de patriciërs van Brussel (oa Sleeus). Afstammelingen van de Heren van Sterrebeek vinden we in het Brussels patriciërsgeslacht Rodenbeke.

Deze patriciërsgeslachten bestuurden eeuwen lang de stad Brussel.

Recent research by Paulo Charruadas, however, shows that this thesis,
derived from a close study of the origins of towns such as Bruges and
Ghent, does not hold for medieval Brussels. Though an urban aristocracy
was formed in what would one day become the administrative capital of
Europe, the influence of landlords from the neighbouring countryside was
more crucial in the development of Brussels than local initiatives. Rural
landlords, and not merchants, seem to have migrated to the emerging
port on the river Zenne for economic and lucrative reasons during the
course of the eleventh century. Vassals and clients with feudal ties to these
lords joined them and increasingly populated several nuclei of habitation
around the river and the surrounding hills. In the end, even the counts
of Leuven (who would become the dukes of Brabant at the end of the
twelfth century) followed the example of the local lords, and they made
the booming town their most important residence in the late Middle Ages.
