A splendid parade of members of the Brabantine nobility, richly adorned lords and ladies of Diest, Schoonhoven, van der Noot and van der Ee, following a line of descent to the family of Lambert van der Ee (d.1564), secretary to the Great Council of Mechelen.
Approx. 729 x 35cm, 14 membranes in total, separated into four parts, calligraphic text, genealogical information occasionally left blank or added later, eight dimidiated armorial bearings marking marriages, 18 pennants bearing the arms of the lords of Diest, Rotselaar [apparently mistakenly supplied in the place of Aarschot-Schoonhoven], van der Noot and van der Ee (losses and tears at the edges of certain membranes, some apparently repaired onto backing paper, one piece of tape at the beginning of the roll, some surface staining, cockling and rubbing throughout). In four frames (44 x 218cm; 44 x 192cm; 44 x 190cm; 45 x 182cm).
Provenance: The script points to a production date in the second half of the 16th century, consistent with the appearance at the end of the roll of individuals alive in the middle of that century. The final few figures are those of Lambert van der Ee (d.1564), a secretary to the Great Council of Mechelen, his wife, Marguerite van de Noot, and their children; the roll illustrates ends with ‘Cornelis vander Ee, Riddere heere van Sinte Stevens Woeluwe’, shown here as the first of four sons of the couple. The Cistercian abbot and geneaologist Christophe Butkens (1590-1650) gives only two van der Ee sons – Jan and Jacob – but this hitherto-unidentified Cornelis, or Corneille, van der Ee, descendant of Arnout van Diest, might be considered a candidate for the commissioner of the present roll, whose existence cannot have been widely known. Elsewhere, instances of omitted names or the apparently mistaken substitution of the Rotselaar arms for those of Aarschot-Schoonhoven – perhaps explained by the fact that Marie, sister of Elsa van Schoonhoven, married Jan van Rotselaar – confirm the sense that the present roll was not an official genealogy produced under the direction of a herald or a copy of such a document, but a more personal commission. The dress of both the male and female figures comprises a dazzling, exotic array of headwear, sleeves, jewellery, and weaponry in the 15th-century style, likely chosen for archaising effect in order to emphasise the antiquity of the lineage. The Diest heraldry is shown with a field or instead of argent, not reflecting the change that occurred in the 16th-century.
Content: The genealogy proceeds chronologically with some repetition, beginning in the 13th century and ending in the 16th century. The figures grouped across the four individually framed parts, left to right, as follows:
Part I:
Arnout (‘Aerte’) V van Diest (d.1253) and his wife Isabelle, or Elisabeth, de Mortagne (d. c.1315), their arms dimidiated; followed by three of their six children –
Geraard (‘Gheert’) van Diest (d. c.1333) and Jan (‘Johann’) van Diest (d.1340; bishop of Utrecht, 1322-1340); then –
Geraard (‘Gheert’) van Diest (d. c.1333) reappears between his first wife, [Marie] van Loen, and the second, Johanna van Vlanderen, the women’s cloaks emblazoned with the arms of the Counts of Loon and those of Flanders respectively; followed by his brother –
Thomas van Diest (d.1349) and his wife Marie de Ghistelles (1315-1381), their arms dimidiated; followed by two of their sons –
Hendrick van Diest (1345-1385) and Arnout van Diest; followed by Arnout’s son, Hendrick van Diest (d.1474).
The pennants and the tabards of the men are emblazoned with the arms of the lords of Diest.
Part II:
Hendrick van Diest (1345-1385) and his wife Elsa van Horne (m.1359), her cloak emblazoned with the arms of van Horne; followed by their five children –
Thomas van Diest (d.1432); Jan van Diest; Willem van Diest (1394-1439, bishop of Strasbourg); Maria van Diest (d. after 1415); and Elsa van Diest; then –
Elsa van Diest reappears next to her husband Jan van Schoonhoven, their arms dimidiated [his mistakenly substituted for those of Rotselaar]; followed by their nine children –
Sons Jan, Jacob, Daniel and Hendrick van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (d.1478), alongside their five sisters.
The pennants and the tabards of the men are emblazoned with the arms of the lords of Diest and those of Rotselaar, the latter apparently mistakenly supplied in the place of Aarschot-Schoonhoven throughout.
Part III:
Hendrick van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (d.1478) and his wife Beatrix ‘t Serclaes (d.1451), their arms dimidiated [her name supplied in a later hand over an erasure]; followed by six of their seven children –
Jan (d. before 1483); Hendrick; and Philips van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (1428-1498), alongside three of their sisters; then –
Jan van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (d. before 1483) reappears next to his wife Catharina van Heenvliet, their arms dimidiated; followed by –
Hendrick van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven reappearing next to his wife, her half of the dimidiated arms left blank and her cloak without blazon; followed by –
Philips van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (1428-1498) reappearing next to his wife Catharina Pot (m.1457; d.1495), their arms dimidiated; followed by ?six children –

Maria (‘Margriete’) van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (c.1470-c.1488) ?and two of her sisters.
The pennants and the tabards of the men are emblazoned with the arms of the lords of Rotselaar, apparently mistakenly supplied in the place of Aarschot-Schoonhoven throughout, and those of Philips van Aarschot-Schoonhoven (1428-1498), incorporating the same mistake.
Part IV:
Hubert van der Noot (d. c.1510) and, reappearing, his wife Maria (‘Margriete’) van [Aarschot-]Schoonhoven (c.1470-1488), their arms dimidiated [hers mistakenly incorporating the Rotselaar arms]; followed by their five daughters –
Marguerite (‘Margriete’); Anne; Philippa; Marie ; and Dimphne van der Noot ; followed by –
Lambert van der Ee (d.1564) and, reappearing, his wife Marguerite (‘Margriete’) van der Noot, their arms dimidiated; followed by four sons –
