history

The first of this family is said to have been Eilhard von Bentheim, who in 1227 was enfeoffed with the Laar estate, which was eligible for parliament, from the Utrecht bishop Wilbrand von Oldenburg and the Count of Bentheim. As early as 1235, he no longer seems to be called von Bentheim , but von Sebelingen . Presumably because at the same time, the owners of the Bentheimer Herrschaft from the House of Holland, Bentheim and their numerous properties in the vicinity upgraded to a county and settled there. Thus the name of Bentheim became a synonym for the Counts of Bentheim. This Eilhard is named with his brother Hunold von Bentheim in 1209 as the castle men of Bentheim. It is possible that these brothers descended from the noble Athelardus de Bentheim . It is also assumed that this family originally owned the Schüttorfer Freistuhl . The Bentheim family split into two lines. One, von Sebelingen , which died out in the 14th century, the other, called Laar, remained resident on the Laar estate, from which a branch called van Heest split off and became resident on the Heest estates in neighboring Heesterkante, which were not eligible for parliament .

In 1380 the Laar estate came into the possession of Engelbert von Salne, who was married to the heiress Jutta von Laar, so one must assume that this line of Laar no longer had any male heirs. This Engelbert is considered to be the founder of the second von Laar zu Laar family, which only went out on July 12, 1722 with the Bentheim court assessor Gerhard Heinrich von Laar.

  8. ↑ The presumption that Arnold von Brandlecht was married to an heir daughter van Heest can be traced back to three pieces of evidence: first: Arnold's son called himself van Heest by surname, second: he received the first name Heinrich, which is typical of the Heest family, and third : the three-legged tournament collar appears in some of the seals of the Brandlecht Heest. Presumably, as with the married-in van Salne, both the surname and parts of the coat of arms were adopted.
