Walter of Ghent

Walter of Ghent (de Gand dit Villain) (died before 1260) was the second son of Hugues I and Odette de Champagne, daughter of Odo II of Champlitte. Hugues married Lady Avezoete, daughter of Abraham and perhaps of the house of Maelstede.[1] Although his brother inherited the lordship of Heusden and Bornhem, he received the lordship of Sint Jansteen.[2] He took the name Villain, a name synonymous with peasant or farm boy.[3]

Avezoete and Walter had a very large family. Their children included:

  • Johannes (died before August 1262)
  • Alexander, married Ysabeau d' Axelle
  • Walter
  • Sohier
  • Isabelle, married Jean Robert Van Den Kerchove Van Ter-Varent
  • Phillippe
  • Williames
  • Odine, married Henri de Westhuse
  • Katerine
