    The Benedictine Abbey of Affligem, located on the border of Brabant and Flanders, owes its origins to six warriors who were moved by the preaching of Wedericus, a monk from Ghent's St. Peter's Abbey. Through the efforts of Saint Anno, Archbishop of Cologne, they settled, probably in 1062, in the hamlet of Affligem, on land belonging to the minor German Count Palatine Herman II, whose guardian was the archbishop. Another Frankish settlement had already existed there: Abulingaheim, which means "home of the people of Abulo or Avilo."
