De Muyser Lantwyck family

The de Muyser Lantwyck family is an old Belgian family dating back to the beginning of the 15th century, tracing its roots to Jean Moyser, alderman of Vaelbeek, who held lands in Héverlé in 1451, censier of the Groenendael Priory, lord holding the lands and manor of Cockelberg by lease dated 19 June 1438, husband of Aleyde Crabbé.

History
The son of Jean I, Gilles de Muyser, bought, in 1472, the manor of Hoff ten Rode in Bierbeek. His grandson, Jean II de Muyser, is son of Godefroid and brother of Pierre, is cited in 1494 and 1509 in the book of the fiefs of Héverlé as feudataire of Philippe de Croÿ, lord of Héverlé. He married Ida de Lantwyck, daughter of Wautier before 1500. According to the aforementioned book of fiefs, Jean de Muyser died on 20 July 1531. His descendants stayed in Vaalbeek, where the family remained, for every generation until the early 18th century, aldermen. These local offices were most likely given to the family as a souvenir of the lordship that was lost by Jean de Muyser's family. Indeed, a charter by Philip the Good dated to 1452 is kept at the Arenberg archives of the university of Louvain, tells us that Wautier de Lantwyck, father of Ida, definitively renounces in 1452, along with his siblings, all rights to the lordship of Vaalbeek that their father Jean was lord of until 1429. This lordship belonged to them through their grandfather, the knight Jean de Lantwyck, who had exchanged it for the lordship of Blanden. We know that the knight of Lanwyck, lord of Blanden, had sold the cense of half of the lordship of Blanden in 1388 to the Parc Abbey, but what happened to the other half remains a mystery. == Members ==
