Conference - A BUMP hidden treasure: the Bergeyck archives
Entitled "A hidden treasure of the BUMP: the Bergeyck archive (13th-19th centuries)", this lecture by Romain Waroquier (Doctor of History - Researcher at centre PraME de l'UNamur) will lift the veil on the riches of the de Bergeyck fonds, a family archive that illustrates, in an unprecedented way, the history of the seigneury of Dhuy, which has been passed down in the same family, heir to the Counts of Namur, since the 13th century.Among these documents are several rare items hitherto unknown to historians, such as a polyptique foncier of which there is only one equivalent in the Mosan area. Exploiting these archives opens a window onto the rural and seigniorial realities of the Middle Ages in this northern corner of the province of Namur that was the seigneury of Dhuy, and whose history Romain Waroquier will retrace for us.Welcome one and all!"
