FOREWORDI have known Esquire Nicolas de Potter d’Indoye, for more than 30 years.Driven by a passion for family history and excellence, Nicolas startedto tell me about his dream, his opus magnum, more than 20 years ago.What an adventure, what an accomplishment, what an effort anddedication! A journey which generations will remember for sure.Nicolas told me it all started around the emblematic year 2000 whenCleveland Moffett, former editor of The Bulletin Magazine, suggestedto write a families book during a visit to the Castle of Lophem.This visit was actually an important moment, even paramount to thisproject, as it was built by the family of Belgium’s first Prime Minister,Louis de Potter, Nicolas’ distant family member. This visit triggeredthis broad historical sociological research and deep family genealogysearch. A journey of 20 years started with this single visit, with a distantfamily mirror. Many steps would follow before this quest would reachits destiny in 2020.This book is a unique combination of history, sociology andgenealogy research, over nearly 1000 years. Hence it provides aunique perspective as it is built around fascinating adventures ofvarious sociologically different families “de Potter”, reinforced byextensive archives and library research, with the help of a team ofacademic researchers. In combining disciplines around sociologicallydifferent family names “de Potter”, Nicolas depicts how socialmobility evolved in Flanders and Belgium over nearly a millennium.This resulted in a fine portrait of the “Belgian - Low Countries -Flanders” society, reflected by different (de) Potter families, over atime span between the years 1000 and 2000. Such a wide rangeexplains why it took Nicolas 20 years of study.14
Wars, revolutions, religious banishments make primary historicalrecords and sources scarce, especially in West-Flanders... However,nothing stopped Nicolas. During so many years he worked hard onthis societal contribution, describing unpublished true stories.They are well supported by numerous sources, here and on hiswebsite, also pleasant to read, through the use of a modern language,illustrated with many quality images.We consider it a privilege to recommend this book and sign thispreface alike. We hope that the historical contribution of Nicolas willbe well received, recognized and studied by people who love history,in its broader sociological context, as much as we do; and that otherswill be stimulated to further contribute to the innovative approachand knowledge inspired by the example of my friend Nicolas.Derrick Philippe GOSSELIN,Former Chief of Cabinet,Minister-president of Flanders,Fellow Royal Academy of Belgium,Consul of France in Belgium (Bruges).With genuine support of:Paul BREYNE, OBE, Honorary Governor of West Flanders,Lies LARIDON, Major of Dixmude, Councilor of West-FlandersHilde CREVITS, Flanders Minister of Education, Kingdom of Belgium.15
