History

The title was given to the legitimised son of the Duke of Brabant, and belonged for generations to their descendants. Various important noble houses, amongst them the Brant-family and the house of Ghistel took possession of the dominium. In 1454 Philipp, Duke of Brabant proclaimed that Arnould Brant would have a "rente héreditaire sur la Terre de Grobbendoncq." His brother Jean would inherit the benefits of Grobbendoncq in exchange of the lands of Ayseau. [2]

The dominium was later elevated to a Marquisate in 1626 by King Philip IV of Spain for Rasse of Gavre, 1st Marquess of Ayseaux. [3] The marquess of Ayseau took seat in the Second Estate of Brabant. The families were buried in the Church of Ayseau, where their mausoleum can be found.
