In the year 620, Prince Salvaert of Dijon crossed the Sans-Merci forest to go to England with his pregnant wife, Ermengaert. He was attacked by Count Phinaert. The entire caravan was killed except Ermengaert who gave birth to his son out of fear. The child was taken in by a local hermit who gave him his name, Liedericq (Lydéric). As an adult, after avenging his father’s death, he founded the city of Lille and became the first Count of Flanders. Kluiz comes from the word Kluizenaar translated as “the hermit”. The place is still called Mont de l’Enclus – Kluisbergen in Belgium today.
