Robert van Asseliers (2 December 1576 – 28 November 1661) was the chancellor of Brabant from 1651 until 1661.
[1] Coming from a family of officeholders in the duchy of Brabant, Asseliers studied at the University of Leuven, graduating as a Doctor of Law.
[2] He married Antoinette Vandenberghe in 1608; they had a son and two daughters.
In 1619, Asseliers succeeded his father as a councillor on the Council of Brabant.
Because of his advanced age—taking office at the age of 74—a vice-chancellor, Joannes van Thulden, brother of Diodorus Tuldenus, was appointed to help him in office.
