        The influence and power of the nobility in the 11th and 12th centuries is often linked to the possession of feudal estates. The example of the Flemish family "de Gand" shows that connections in trade, even international trade, could underlie power. Ownership of domains was built up strategically, along trade routes. The family's support for Flemish towns and presence in Eastern England were linked to the wool trade. The term « noble » appears, in relation to this family, as a designation of belonging to a higher social stratum, even outside a specific activity or expertise. In this respect, the example of the family "de Gand" provides elements to nuance the distinction between the classes of merchants and noblemen.
        L'influence et le pouvoir de la noblesse aux XI et XII siècles sont souvent liés à la possession de propriétés foncières. L'exemple de la famille flamande « de Gand » montre que les liens commerciaux, voire internationaux, peuvent être à la base du pouvoir. La possession de domaines s'est construite stratégiquement, le long des routes commerciales. Le soutien de cette famille aux villes flamandes et leur présence dans l'Est de l'Angleterre étaient liés au commerce de la laine. Le terme de noble apparaît, à l'égard de cette famille, comme une designation de l'appartenance a une strate sociale superieure, meme en dehors d'une activite ou d'une expertise specifique. A cet egard, l'exemple de la famille « de Gand » fournit des elements pour nuancer la distinction entre les classes des marchands et des nobles.
