Early life

Coming from a family of officeholders in the duchy of Brabant, Asseliers studied at the University of Leuven, graduating as a Doctor of Law.[2] He married Antoinette Vandenberghe in 1608; they had a son and two daughters.

Career

In 1619, Asseliers succeeded his father as a councillor on the Council of Brabant. He went on to become a member of the Brussels Privy Council, the Council of State, and the Supreme Council of Flanders in Madrid.

Asseliers became chancellor of Brabant on 5 May 1651. Because of his advanced age—taking office at the age of 74—a vice-chancellor, Joannes van Thulden, brother of Diodorus Tuldenus, was appointed to help him in office. Asseliers died on 28 November 1661.[3]

gollark: The only thing I have which stores data associated with a particular user is the `++remind` command, and I feel like people shouldn't set reminders if they don't want their user ID stored with them.
gollark: For most you can probably get away with manually handling requests.
gollark: My bot technically doesn't have a "clear user data" command, but it only stores user data if you explicitly run a command which obviously stores user data, and nobody asked to have their data deleted yet.
gollark: I feel like the opt-out thing should perhaps be more clearly provided.
gollark: We don't use commas instead of decimal points. We use commas to separate out groups of digits in numbers, and decimal points to represent... decimals.
