History

The house was founded by Jan Cordeken, [1] Lord of Glymes, illegitimate son of John II, Duke of Brabant. It was legitimized by Emperor Louis IV. [2] John I obtained Bergen by marriage to Joanne of Boutersem. The house died out when the descendants of Henri Nicolas de Glymes de Hollebecque (1755–-1813) died without heirs.

The oldest generations called themselves in French de Glymes or in Dutch van Glimes. The younger branch of the Lords, Counts and Princes of Grimbergen called themselves in French de Berghes. [3] [4]

The family had many important possessions: since 1559 they were the Margraves of Bergen op Zoom, in French Berghes-sur-le-Zoom. Other notable possessions are: Florennes, Glimes, Grimberghen, Zevenkercke, Bierbais, Opprebais, Walhain, la Falize, ...

There were several canons, abbesses and three bishops of Cambrai, a bishop of Antwerp and Prince-Bishop of Liege amongst the clergy of this family.
