Lambert de Briarde, Lord of Liezele sometimes Lambrecht van den Bryaerde (died 10 October 1557 [1] ) was a Flemish judge.
His family belonged to the old nobility dating from the 13th century. He was born in Duinkerke, the youngest son of Andries de Briarde, Lord of Coye. His older brother Charles was mayor of the Brugse Vrije. Lambert was married to Marguerite Micault. They had two children:
The Brugse Vrije was a castellany in the county of Flanders, often called in English 'the Franc of Bruges'. It included the area around Bruges, and was bordered by the North Sea, the Westerschelde and the Yser river. The city of Bruges was separated from the castellany in 1127. Since then the city and the Vrije were considered as separate customary law areas. The Brugse Vrije was a rich agricultural region. It had its own burgrave, who was seated at the Burg, a square in Bruges, and became part of the Four Members of Flanders at the end of the 14th century, together with the three major cities of Ghent, Brugge and Ypres. The Brugse Vrije sat in the meetings of the States of Flanders.
He obtained a degree of Doctor in Canon Law in Louvain and started a career in Flanders. In 1519, he was advocatus in the Council of Flanders in Ghent, where he participated in major cases. He became master of requests of the Great Council in 1522, and was promoted to President in 1532 by request of Charles V until his death. He served almost a quarter of a century as President
Besides his career he was sent on diplomatic missions in service of the Emperor and the governess Margaret of Parma. He was sent to negotiate during the Revolt of Ghent.
Margaret of Parma was Governor of the Netherlands from 1559 to 1567 and from 1578 to 1582. She was the illegitimate daughter of the then 22-year-old Holy Roman Emperor Charles V and Johanna Maria van der Gheynst. She was a Duchess of Florence and a Duchess of Parma and Piacenza by marriage.
The Revolt of Ghent was an uprising by the citizens of Ghent against the regime of the Holy Roman Emperor and Spanish king Charles V in 1539. The revolt was a reaction to high taxes, which the Flemish felt were only used to fight wars abroad. Charles marched his army into the city the following year and the rebels surrendered without a fight. Charles humiliated the rebels by parading their leaders in undershirts with hangman nooses around their necks. Since then Ghent citizens informally call themselves "noose bearers".
He is buried in St John of Mechelen.
