...Philippe de Marnix de Sainte-Aldegonde naquit à Bruxelles en 1538; il descendait par son père d'un gentilhomme savoyard, qui, de la Tarantaise, avait suivi dans les Pays-Bas Marguerite d'Autriche en qualité de trésorier. Par sa mère, Marie d'Emméricourt, il tenait à la Haute-Bourgogne et à la Hollande. Quant à la seigneurie du Mont-de-Sainte-Aldegonde, dont il portait le titre et qui sert souvent à le désigner, elle était située en Hainaut, à quelques milles de Charleroi. On retrouve ainsi dans ses origines le Savoyard, le Wallon, le Français, le Hollandais. II semble avoir gardé de la Savoie la forte séve morale; du pays de Froissard et de Commines, la finesse jointe à l'imagination pittoresque; de la Hollande, le grand sens, la persévérance imperturbable. Sa vie même ne sera qu'un long effort pour unir et réconcilier ces races...
