1. Lyderic de BUC Forester of Flanders [120161] was born in 600 in Flanders and died in 692 in Flanders at age 92.

General Notes: In a Document received from Patrick de Meulemeester in March 2021, he included the following:
Lyderic de Buc was appointed the First Grand Forester and Governor of Flanders by Dagobert I King of the Franks in 621.
He was allied by marriage in the House of Merouée or France because Rithilda was the daughter of Clothaire, 2nd Roy of France and Sichinde or Sichilde Reine de France.

A little history....Saluart or Salvaert, Lyderic de Buc's father tried to travel to England with his wife and son and unfortunately he was murdered by Phinart le Tiran and his wife Eringarde de Roussillon had time to hide his son Lyderic in a hedge before being herself captured and imprisoned by Phinart.
Lyderic was discovered by a hermit who adopted him and raised him.
Arriving at the age of 18 and after learning what happened to his father, Lyderic provoked Phinart into a duel and Phinart was killed by Lyderic.

Lyderic then built a fortress on an island located in the arms of the Deule and gradually this island turned into a village and then a city to become LILLE.

Lyderic of Buc married Jeanne Archilde of NEUSTRIE, daughter of Clothaire II the Younger of Neustria, King of the Franks and Queen Bertrude of Burgundy.
