This profile represents the father of Gerard (I) Flamens (Wassenberg) and his brother Rutger. Their father was from Antoing, Vlaanderen. Gerard and Rutger had to leave their area, due to the expansion politics of the count of Vlaanderen, probably Boudewijn IV van Vlaanderen
They are both mentioned in the Annales Rhodensus, a writing from the 1100s. The roman emporer gave them a place to resettle in Wassenberg. Gerard is the ancestor of the Counts of Gelre. Rutger is seen as the ancestor of Dietrich von Kleve (1058-1119). [1][2][3] [4][5][6]
