Corneille of Berghes or de Glymes-Berghes (1490?–1560?)

Corneille of Berghes was the youngest son of Cornelis of Glymes, Admiral of the Netherlands and Maria Margaretha van Zevenbergen.

First he was Prévôt in the Saint Peter's Collegiate church in Lille, then he stayed in Mechelen at the court of Margaret of Austria.

In 1520 he became Coadjutor bishop in Liège, and when Prince-Bishop Érard de La Marck died in 1538, was made his successor by Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. His reign was a disaster, because of his fanatic persecution of presumed heretics, which alienated himself from the population.

Very little was registered about the rest of his life and marriage, only that he died around 1560.
