Historical references

Un lignage représente tous les descendants d'un même ancêtre. Jusqu'à aujourd'hui dans certaines régions du monde, appartenir à un certain lignage octroie des droits et des devoirs qui ne sont pas applicables aux 'étrangers' à ce lignage vivant au même endroit. A Bruxelles, les lignages ont notamment déterminé les échevins. (remark in French, as published)
