Association Royale Des Descendants Des Lignages De Bruxelles
The ''Association Royale des Descendants des Lignages de Bruxelles'' ( French) (Dutch'': Koninklijke Vereniging der Afstammelingen van de Brusselse Geslachten;'' ) is a hereditary organization of individuals who have documented their descent from at least one member of the Seven Noble Houses of Brussels.

For example, every year, the organisation takes an active part in the organization of the Ommegang. Publicati ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
