This is a copy of a letter in my files...from the Azores List in May 2000. There was inquiry about van der Hagen being the grandson of the John the Fearless, Duke of Burgundy. Toni Subject: Re: [PORTUGAL-L] Guilherme da Silveira (van der Hagen) Date: Sun, 7 May 2000 15:47:23 +0200 References: <200005061436.haa00...@web1.sl.net> No trace of this van der Haghen in the book by van Kerrebrouck(pp.517-608), (only descendants in the male line,but a daughter married to a "van der Hagen" -or something resembling this should be easy to spot) nor in "L'Intermédiaire des généalogistes"(Belgium)1955:321sqq(a special issue, on the illegitimate descendants of the dukes of Burgundy,including lists of families descending from them in the female line),Schwennicke "Europaische Stammtafeln" III/2:316-319,Cahiers de St.Louis 3:173-188(these last two are not thát reliable when dealing with flemish & dutch families..)
