There was already a lordship of IJse. The lords belonged to the Isque family and were vassals of the Duke of Brabant. However, this family died out in the male line, and the last heiress, Maria d'Oisy, sold the lordship in 1335 to Johan I van Wittem of the van Wittem family. From 1410 to 1456, Hendrik II van Wittem lived, who married Jacoba van Glymes. Their son was Hendrik III van Wittem (1440-1515) (also Van Wittem van Beersel or Van Witthem van Beersel). He built the castle after the village of Overijse was burned down in 1489 by the troops of Maximilian of Austria. He married Elisabeth van der Spout. Their son and successor was Filips van Wittem van Beersel (1471-1523). She married Johanna van Halewijn and their son Hendrik IV van Wittem (1495-1554) became lord of Beersel, while their son Georges van Wittem (1500-1544) became lord of IJse.
