L'historien Paul Charruadas distingue dans l'origine du patriciat bruxellois les familles de l'aristocratie grande ou petite (primaire, secondaire) descendant des seigneurs féodaux des territoires entourant Bruxelles (comme les Asse, Bigard, Clutinc, Stalle etc.) et les familles de l'aristocratie urbaine, c'est-à-dire les familles bourgeoises enrichies dans le négoce (comme les Pipenpoy, Eggloi, Coudenberg, Koekelberg, Piliser etc.). Ces deux groupes aristocratiques aux origines socio-culturelles différentes, d'un côté les familles anciennes de noblesse féodale, de l'autre des familles récemment enrichies grâce au développement économique de Bruxelles, fusionneront entre elles pour former l'aristocratie des Lignages de Bruxelles.
