Karel Jozef de Graeve (October 23, 1731, Ursel - August 2, 1805, Sint-Denijs-Westrem) − usually written Charles-Joseph De Grave after the French invasion− was Raadsheer in the Flemish Court and author of juridical, officialese and historical works. ==Life== Karel Jozef de Graeve was born in 1731 (according to some sources in 1736) as son of Regina Verstraeten and Jan de Graeve, Secretary to the parish of Ursel. He studied literature, philosophy and law at the Old University of Leuven. In 1789, over the age of fifty, he married Françoise Cathérine Kervyn de Oud Mooreghem (1744-1824), widow of Jean-Pierre Zoetaert, Secretary to the Raad van Vlaanderen, the highest court of the County of Flanders. In 1760 Karel Jozef de Graeve became lawyer in Gent and for some time functioned as Pensionary to the city of Bruges. In Ghent again from 1773 he worked as schepen to the local government and was mainly occupied with the city finances. As such he was second in command after first schepen Jean Jacques Philippe Vilain XIIII. In 1775 he was appointed Raadsheer in the main court of the County, called the Raad van Vlaanderen. He contributed in a protest by the States of Flanders against the policies of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor in 1787. A few days after his work on a manifesto on 5 november 1789 on behalf of the Flemish Court concerning the Austrian government the Patriots conquered Ghent and de Graeve was appointed member of the 'Comité civil' that was in charge of the town. The states of Flanders appointed him as interim Pensionary, in replacement of François d'Hoop, who was loyal to the Emperor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Karel Jozef de Graeve」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
