Ghiselbertus Roesmont

A Rosamond family researcher has seen letters exchanged between Gottschalk Rosemondt and the great Erasmus with the seal of a dancing wolf upon them. This is a Bosch seal related somehow to the Janskirk church where attended members of the Swan Brethren. The Renaissance artist, Hieronymus Bosch, executed commissions for the Brethren and their church. One such work is titled the Seven Deadly Sins which is the subject matter of Rosemondt’s book ‘Confessionals’.

With the passing of my kindred, Elizabeth Roaemond Taylor, the Rosemond genealogy takes on even more importance due to her and her uncle’s world class art collection.

Roesmont Ghiselbertus (d. 1469)

Bichelaer, van den

338. Roesmont, Ghiselbertus
Cler. Liège, i. 1426-1428 (1421-1469) Den Bosch

Roesmont, Ghijsbrecht, Roosmont, Rosemont in Den Bosch was born as the son of a certain Heilwich Rolofs Roesmont and Daneel. The family Roesmont was in the fourteenth and fifteenth century one of the most prominent families of Den Bosch. A Roesmont was already in 1337/1338 and Goetscalc in 1341/42 ships of that city. According to an almost certainly incorrect entry in the sixteenth-century obitus fratrum of the o.l.v.-brotherhood he would have died if only in 1397/98 Roesmont huius Goedscalcus, junior senator oppidi. A Roesmont, Goetscalcus, dominus presbiter made on 1368 in his living House on the St. John’s cemetery are testament before Mr Groy Gerit (nr. 152). Presumably he was vice-cureit of the St. Jan. Rolof Roesmont, the grandfather of the notary, was in 1369/70 ships of Den Bosch. He died on 9 October 1375 and had seven children with his wife, Mechtelt Christijn, Mechtelt, frater behind: Hedwige, Ghijsbrecht, Goetscalc and Rolof Daneel. 1)
Only mentioned in 1399, hedwige nmaal. Her sister is called Christijn in the sources often jonkvrouw (domicella, joffrou) because her father Councillor (ex-ships) was. She got on 6 september 1376 of the Bishop of Liège permission to serve as a sister in the Large Guest House. Christijn died between 1399 and 1405 and left a natural daughter Hedwige behind. Her sister is in 1382 named as woman of Wouter Mechtelt Spyerinc. Frater Roesmont comes from 1382 until 1408 for Rolof as brother of Porta Coeli. His brother Ghijsbrecht was since 1382/83 sworn brother of the o.l.v.-brotherhood. On March 16, 1384 he entered the St. John as witnesses at a miracle story. A boy from Dreumel known as Alaert, son of Jacob Mertenssoen, “was covered by datmen hot Alaert siec welc vanden-Cornelisong-wee Sente hemac”, together with his mother told when Aleyt and his neighbors how he was healed of his epilepsy after his mother to o.l.v. van Den Bosch a pilgrimage had promised. An earlier promise of a pilgrimage to Kornelis munster at Aachen had not helped. Ghijsbrecht Roesmont was married to a certain Katherijn who shortly after he died in 1387/88 Aetsaert, natural son of Lord Ghijsbrecht remarried with Koc, Provost of Utrecht. Ghijsbrecht Ghijsbrecht Roesmont left a natural son behind who also was called and that v r 1429 died. This had a daughter with his wife Ghijsbrecht Aleyt Ghijsbrechtken who in 1459 was still alive. 2)
Goetscalc, son of Roesmont, was supposedly Rolof Laeken merchant of appeal because he owned a box in the House after his death to his descendents inheritated Laeken Bossche his sister Christijn and Henric Scilder (cf. nr. 353). Married with Mechtelt Goetscalc v r 1370, widow of Boghart Ghijb. This had a daughter from her first marriage in 1406 Boghart Hille who was still alive. Died between 1383 and 1385 and Goetscalc Roesmont Mechtelt left behind three children: Christijn, Henric Bac and Rolof. Henric Bac, son of Roesmont Goetscalc, is indicated from about 1390 to 1427. The maiden name of his mother was possible Bac. Rolof Henrics brother was on 17 July 1413 by the City Government for a year was appointed guardian of the Bossche trading settlement on the Danish peninsula Clean (Sk ne in the South-West of Sweden). Roesmont, Roesmont, wilneer soen Goetscalcs Rolof introduced himself when together with his brother Roesmont and his relatives, Daneel Goetscalc Ghijsbrecht Bac and Henric Jan Arnts soen Papen garant “that voirs Rolof. who voechdie on Schoenrelant vander stat roads vors. also, this verwaren sal duerende, ghelijc ende reign jair lanc who have who have “ghedaen voecht voirtijts gheweest gheen. Rolof was in 1413 a number of years already married to Katherijn, daughter of Melis, who in 1422 and 1423 Speciers as his widow is mentioned. They then had a daughter who was married to Luytgart of Rolof Reyner of Mechelen. Rolofs brother was Daneel to distinguish his eponymous son also called Roesmont who called Daneel Aude. He was in 1398/99, 1405/06 and 1409/10 n of the two stewards of Den Bosch and functioned in 1402/03 and 1411/12 even if ships of that city. He made further as sworn brother part of the o.l.v.-brotherhood and he was from 1411 to 1413 provost of that institution. Daneel lived behind the Monastry and died in 1415. With his wife Heilwich, who probably died shortly v r 1424, he left behind six children: Goetscalc, Heilwich, Wouter, Lord Philips, Daneel and Ghijsbrecht (the notary). 3)
Of these children married Heilwich, also called Lady called Heilwich, v r 1424 with Arnt Rover vander sports in 1443/44 ships was van Den Bosch (cf. nr. 339). Both d. between 1445 and 1452. Heilwichs brother Wouter v r 1425 died already. Their brother Mr Philips was in 1451 Chaplain of the Abbot of St. Truiden. In 1452 he is briefly mentioned as Provost and prior of the same monastery in succession. On 18 July 1452 he wore all the goods which he had inherited from his sister over to his brothers Heilwich ge Ghijsbrecht and Goetscalc. The latter comes in the Bosch ‘ protocol for from about 1418 to 1460. He was until 1424 as city library located at the Monastry but rented this Office in that year for a period of twelve years to Aert van Moen (see nr. 151). Then he had in 1424/25 and 1429/30 session in the ships bank. Goetscalc was married to Heilwich, daughter of Jan van Berck (Beirck) and Aleyt who in 1415 as John’s widow. Of Roesmont and Heilwich in the Goetscalc be Bosch’s protocol nine children: Aleyt (1427-1447), Philips (1440-1460), Margriet (1444), Andries (1445), Lord Daneel (1447), Goetscalc (1447-1452), Jan (1447-1455), and Agnes Heilwich (1451) (1451). The daughters are usually referred to as damsel. Two children of a further be mentioned: frater Goetscalc Roesmont, priest, brother of Porta Coeli Everart (1460-1470), and his sister conventuale of the monastery Heilwich, Mari to Rossem nakker (1470). Presumably these two were of no children Goetscalc and Heilwich but of their son Goetscalc. Their other son Jan v died and left two sons behind: r 1467 and Jan Goetscalc. 4)
Roesmont, the last brother of notary Daneel, initially to distinguish his father Ghijsbrecht also called Roesmont who called to distinguish Daneel Jonghe and later of his son also called Roesmont that Daneel Aude. About 1432 he lived opposite the friars, possibly in the House that was previously inhabited by his father. He was steward in 1412/13 city and from 1422 to 1428 steward of the Duke in city and Meierij van Den Bosch. As such he authorized his brother on 30 april 1424 Ghijsbrecht, cijnzen in the Meierij the pensions and leases of both the Duke to collect as himself. He was also in 1423/24 and 1442/43 ships in 1437 of Dirc van Den Bosch, which Rover bought the leen Rijsingen goods in St. Oedenrode and died in 1449. Daneel Roesmont married twice. His first wife was Katherijn, daughter of Jan van Berck. She was a sister of Heilwich who with his brother Goetscalc married. Presumably, she was also closely related to Gerit of Berck, sworn brother of the o.l.v.-Brotherhood (from 1404/05), Alderman of Den Bosch (1413/14, 1428/29, 1432/33) and Ducal steward (1428-1431) in the city and Meierij. V r 1424 Katherijn died and remarried with Lady Adriaenken, daughter of Daneel Dirc that Rover, son of Mr Emond which Rover, Knight (cf. nr. 339). Adriaenken is listed as c. 1451 Daneels widow. These had six children from his two marriages: Heilwich, Katherijn, Heilwich, Beatrijs, Daneel and Ghijsbrecht. Also in this case the daughters usually called jonkvrouw. 5)
Daneels first child Heilwich was also the only child from his marriage with Katherijn of Berck. Roesmont is already Heilwich in 1416 Daneel Daneels in the Bosch ‘ protocol listed and married v r 1439 with Arnt, son of Berwout Goyart. Arnt Berwout was in 1440/41 and 1455/56 ships of Den Bosch and lived with his wife in the St. George Street opposite the St. George Chapel. On 9 november 1476 wore them in their House to their decided testament about notary Felt Rembout (nr. 403). Berwout Arnt the same year after which the notary died on 1 January 1477 the testament opened on request of Heilwich and the executors of wills, including her brother and her brother-in-law Rutger Ghijsbrecht Roesmont Berwout, husband of Lady Elsbeen. In the testament gave the testateurs to know, inter alia, that she wanted to be buried in the Monastry. They further determined that the executors had to sell their house and that of the purchase consideration a smaller House had to be bought in which a guest house for six poor men of 60 years or older had to be established: the Aert-Berwoutgasthuis. Roesmont, Ghijsbrecht Heilwichs brother, got “all silverwerck ende cleynoten” that the testateurs had acquired during their marriage. Heilwich still founded on 24 March 1480 three weekly masses for the o.l.v.-image in the Maria Chapel of the St. Jan. Her half-sister Beatrijs comes from 1429 for and died v r 1460. Of her husband Dirc Jans van Gerwen (see nr. 140), she had three sons who are listed from 1460: Daneel, Jan and Goetscalc van Gerwen. Beatrijs ‘ sister Heilwich is of 1460 until 1476 known as wife of Roelof Cuyper, while their sister Katherijn between 1456 and 1476 in the St. Geertrui-onset monastery. The brothers are in the sources between Daneel and Ghijsbrecht respectively between 1455 and 1456 and 1470 and 1477. Ghijsbrecht was in the final year of his oldest sister executeurtestamentair and his brother Heilwich in 1456 bought the loan to which these Rijsingen Daneel goods after the death of their father in 1449 was mortgaged. Ghijsbrecht was married to Lady Margriet Michiels of 20 april 1485 and died v r Eyndoven. He had at least five children: Daneel, Lysbeth, master Michiel, master Godschalc and Jan. In 1486 and Daneel as his natural children are listed. Lysbeth Their brothers, who then will legitimate children from underage and jonkvrouw Margriet Ghijsbrecht have been. Master Godschalc was born around 1483 in Eindhoven, in 1499 went to Leuven and obtained his doctorate there in 1502 artes studying as third of 99 students to magister artium. In 1510, he was nominated by the o.l.v.-fraternity for a benefice in de Bossche St. Jan and since 1515 he was also Canon of St. Peter’s Church in Leuven. He also always resided in Leuven where he was Professor of Theology from 1515 and wrote a number of popular tractaatjes. Although he was partly responsible for the strangulation as a judge and combustion of some heretics Erasmus commemorated him after his death on 5 december 1526 anyway if a theologian of the better kind. 6)
The notary Ghijsbrecht Roesmont was from 1410 to 1445 Secretary van Den Bosch. Particularly in the 1920s, he signed in the Bosch ‘ protocol except concepts of ships also many notari le concepts on deeds. In most cases deals with captions containing the discharge conditions of leases or cijnzen. They were usually in the presence of two aldermen and n or more other Secretaries (socii) drawn up in the writing room (cancellaria in camera, in). He also called as witness for itself in such instruments of his colleague master Marten of Zoemeren (nr. 362). Only some concepts from the years 1426-1428 Ghijsbrecht foresaw also of his initials and signature (Ghi. Roesm.). The earliest known unsigned notari le concept of Ghijsbrechts hand dates from October 1421, the last from 1 July 1444. In addition, there are only four that kept him from the year notari le grossen all 1427 dating. The first Act concerns the implementation of an arbitration award and was both equipped with the seals of three aldermen as of the le signetten and Bossche notari captions of Roesmont Ghijsbrecht and Rutgher van Arkel (No. 14). Ghijsbrechts klerk Rutgher was at this time and they enter into each other’s instruments therefore often as a witness on Other clerks of Ghijsbrecht were Ghevart of Orten. (1418) and Sander Pyeck (nr. 313) (1463-1467). In 1427 two gift deeds manufactured Ghijsbrecht as notary for the benefit of the Poor Clares convent and a deed which master Marten of Zoemeren (nr. 362) on the Bossche Secretary a leasehold to blanket and chapter of Oirschot donated. 7)

Except Secretary and notary Ghijsbrecht also was in 1427/28 ships of Den Bosch. The weapon on his ships seal consisted of a climbing lion. He used the same stamp in 1460/61 during his second term as ships. Since 1411 was further sworn brother of Ghijsbrecht the o.l.v.-brotherhood. In 1421/22 he also served as Provost of this institution between 1417 and 1452 met several times at his home. End Roesmont and Steenwech Ghijsbrecht paid on Capt. Jacop 1451 a meeting that took place in Ghijsbrechts House 10 pence, because “n and woman taken hadde ende other brother be was”. Ghijsbrecht is already mentioned in 1429 as coniugates clericus and must therefore remarried in 1451. It is unlikely that the Ghijsbrecht goes Roesmont in 1451 to another since only the Secretary vowed member of the fraternity was. However, the name only of n wife known: jonkvrouw Mabelia of Lancvelt. She was a daughter of Lonys of which Lancvelt five times between 1357 and 1385 ships was van Den Bosch. This also had a son who was called Lonys and made in the presence of his wife on 6 October 1385 Mabilia his testament. Ghijsbrecht and Mabelia made their wills on an unknown date itself in front of Rutgher van Arkel (No. 14). 8)

On 18 september 1467 Ghijsbrecht added Roesmont, Councillor of Den Bosch and widower of Mabelia, versus Rembout Felt (nr. 403) still a codicil to this testament. Ghijsbrecht, who had previously lived in the then-Orthenstraat (1422), exhausted by his advanced age-stayed in his residential house on the Zijle. Be listed as witnesses in the codicil inter alia the Secretary Rutgher van Arkel (No. 14), Ghijsbrechts servant and clerk Sander Pyeck van batenburg (nr. 313) and his servant Goyart Lysbeth Goebelens of Eindhoven. In addition to these last two Ghijsbrecht left at St. Lambertus Church also goods after Liège, the Bossche St. John, St. Peter’s Church in Vught, the parish church the Bossche o.l.v.-van Uden and fraternity, as well as to Katherijn, widow of the Goldsmith Arnt vander Weyden and Jan Goetscalc, sons of the late, to his nephew Jan Roesmont, and Goetscalcs to “the other heirs”. In the Ghijsbrecht of the o.l.v.- obitus fratrum fraternity are listed under the year 1469/70, along with Rutgher van Arkel, Secretary, and master Boest, Councillor and Secretary Gerit (see nr. 57). Ghijsbrecht probably died in the beginning of 1470. He was equipped with the last sacraments by frater Alartss, Alart Less brother, and will like some other members of his family are buried in the Monastry. Where known, he left no children behind. Nevertheless, he must have had a son on 12 september 1422 Goyart because Ghijsbrecht in the Bosch ‘ protocol signed a concept on which to pay promised 50 Arnoldus guilder Heyme Henric will to “ad opus, filii may michi Godefridi”. 9)

Den Bosch

The city’s official name is a contraction of the Dutch des Hertogen bosch—”the Duke’s forest”. The duke in question was Henry I, Duke of Brabant, whose family had owned a large estate at nearby Orthen for at least four centuries. He founded a new town located on some forested dunes in the middle of a marsh. At age 26, he granted ‘s-Hertogenbosch city rights and the corresponding trade privileges in 1185. This is, however, the traditional date given by later chroniclers; the first mention in contemporaneous sources is 1196. The original charter has been lost. His reason for founding the city was to protect his own interests against encroachment from Gelre and Holland; from its first days, he conceived of the city as a fortress. It was destroyed in 1203 in a joint expedition of Gelre and Holland, but was soon rebuilt. Some remnants of the original city walls may still be seen. In the late 15th century, a much larger wall was erected to protect the greatly expanded settled area. Artificial waterways were dug to serve as a city moat, through which the rivers Dommel and Aa were diverted.

Until 1520, the city flourished, becoming the second largest population centre in the territory of the present Netherlands, after Utrecht. The birthplace and home of one of the greatest painters of the northern Renaissance, Hieronymus Bosch, the city was also a center of music, and composers, such as Jheronimus Clibano, received their training at its cathedrals. Others held positions there: Matthaeus Pipelare was musical director at the Confraternity of Our Lady; and renowned Habsburg copyist and composer Pierre Alamire did much of his work at ‘s-Hertogenbosch.

Ghisburtus van Roesmont was a Dutch nobleman of some importance. His
mother was jonkvrouw Adriana Theodorici ROVER. the daughter of Dirk
Edmondszn ROOVER. The Roover family appears to descend from one of
the Radbot rulers of Holland who was given the name Roover, or Rover
due to conquest of the Netherlands. The Roover family would build
Montfoort castle one of the most prestigious castles in Holland.
These two families were keen on forming a marriage alliance as Arnold
Rover married Heilwigis Arnoldi Danielis ROESMONT. For this reason I
suspect the Roesmont Wolf names came from Roelof the Roover R +
Odilia van Montfoort. Perhaps the Roovers owned Wolfhouse where the
Roesmonts came to live in 1450. Ghisburtus was the master of Saint
Janskerk, and a member of Lieve-Vrouwe-broederschap that met in
Janskerk church. Hieronymus Bosch was a member of the Zwanenbroeders
(swan brothers) and was commissioned by the master of Janskerk to do
a stained-glass window for the church.
