Erluin I Of Gembloux
Erluin (died 987) was a Benedictine monk, the first abbot of Gembloux (946–87) and also briefly the abbot of Lobbes (956–57). Diametrically opposed accounts of his character are given by the partisans of Gembloux and Lobbes. The Abbey of Gembloux was founded on lands donated by Guibert and confirmed by King Otto I in 946. Erluin was its first abbot. He continued as its abbot even during his abbacy at Lobbes. Since 889, the royal Abbey of Lobbes had been administered on behalf of the crown by the bishops of Liège, who held the office of abbot, although the monks continued to elect their own provost (''praepositus'') per the Rule of Saint Benedict. In 956, the provost was Blitard, while the lay abbacy was in the hands of Reginar III of Hainaut, who had received his appointment from his nephew, Bishop Balderic. Through a series of manoeuvres, Reginar and Erluin got Blitard ejected from the monastery and Erluin appointed in his place, contrary to the Rule of Saint Benedict. In 9 ...

Erluin Of Cambrai
Erluin or Erlwin (died 1012) was the bishop of Cambrai from 995. In 1007 he acquired secular authority in the county of the Cambrésis from the Emperor Henry II. Erluin studied in the famous school of Liège, where he became archdeacon under Bishop Notker (972–1008), who procured his election to the bishopric of Cambrai. In 1006, Count Baldwin IV of Flanders invaded the Empire and captured Valenciennes. Erluin appealed to the emperor, who invaded Flanders, captured Ghent and threatened to take the city's relics, but Baldwin remained in possession of Valenciennes. Erluin also appealed to Baldwin's lord, King Robert II of France, whose troops looted Arras, but forced Baldwin to abandon Valenciennes in 1007.Steven Vanderputten and Diane J.

Herluin Of Bec
Herluin otherwise Hellouin (995/997 – 26 August 1078) was a knight at the court of Gilbert of Brionne and subsequently a Benedictine monk. He founded the Abbey of Our Lady of Bec, Normandy. Early life Herluin was born around 995/997 in Bonneville-Aptot, according to Mabillon, of Norman nobility. His father was Ansgot. According to the ''Vita Herluini'', (Gilbert Crispin, c. 1055–1117), Ansgot was descended from a Danish Viking follower of Rollo, while his mother, Heloise, was related to the counts of Flanders. In his youth, he was a brave soldier to whom the Duke Robert gave more than one mark of esteem. Later, he was poorly paid for his services by Gislbert and began to look on the profession of arms with disgust. One day in 1034, amid a frightful melée where he had little hope of survival, he vowed to "drop the sword" and become a monk.
