Everard of Doerne (Liessel, circa 1636 - Saint Michielsgestel, February 22, 1705) was Lord of Asten of 1656-1705. He was the son of Johanna van Merode, daughter of Mr. van Asten, and Cornelis van Doerne, castle master of the Blokhuis in Liessel.
Van Doerne inherited the glory of Asten of his aunt Agnes Wilhelmina of Merode, who himself was also a daughter-in-law of Margaretha van Doerne and Walraven van Wittenhorst. The Merod and Van Doerne families were intertwined by at least three marriages. Everard had the Blokhuis in Liessel and claimed the glory rights of that village.
Everard married Antonia van Doerne, a niece through both the father and mother side. From this marriage, however, no children continued and Antonia died quite quickly. After her death, Everard married Anna Catharina Constantia of Boecop.
Everard died at Huis Kleine Ruwenberg in St. Michielsgestel, but was buried in Asten. His physical surplus was received by hundreds of human beings, as well as in-house purchases as bought by Mr Heinrich Heydt in the family's tomb. The grave disappeared with the demolition of the church, around 1900. He was succeeded by his second wife. Conflicts
Everard had to take another process to ensure that the drossaart could not sell his job: this right was reserved to Mr.. At the time of his administration there were increasing centralist tendencies where the rights of the Lord, such as appointing a calfmaster, came to higher authorities. The people preferred this kind of authority to the lord, therefore under local control.
On the other hand, there were also conflicts with the population which, due to the bad economic situation - North Brabant, became Generality Country - impoverished. This was taken by the chairman and the president of the ship bank to propose a fairer tax recovery. Fear of the Lord broke the ranks of the opposition, and a compromise was concluded in 1666, yet the Council of State proved to be a body where complaints were made to the lord: there was finally a regulation that allowed more control .
