I found an incredibily detailed book on the Egmont family history and genealogy. It is available from

Andre, thanks for posting this. I was working on some issues around Count Lamoraal Count of Egmont, Prince of Gavre, Graaf, prins van Gavere.
There are still some open ends, so maybe this book will help!
Also remember that Schleswig-Holstein was Danish at the time Lamoraal the first lived: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_II,_Duke_of_Schleswig-Holstein-H... . After the death of her husband, Sabina fled to this convent in Brussel with her children: https://www.tripadvisor.de/Attraction_Review-g188644-d245728-Review... We know that Anna became a nun. Could it be that she went out of the convent after her fathers death and married Johann Rasch in Hamburg in 1568 then moved with him to Schleswig/Holstein in Denmark? Are there not any churchbooks that can state the marriage between Johann Rasch and his Anna. He surely died in Denmark (now Germany). The Egmont children might have married under their rank after the death of their father?
Did Johann Rasch son, Peter, who was married to Margaretha Marquardsen, have a sixth child called Jørgen? Jørgen Rasch died in Copenhagen 14. oktober 1653. He was married to Anna Møller. Their son is Johan Rasch: http://www.halsted-kirke.dk/?location=2&page=164&subpage=221
Johan was married to Sara Hansdatter Færø. Their son Johannes came to Norway in 1714 and became Pastor in Folden, Nordland, Norway. So I really wonder if Peter had a son called Jørgen.
Do you know about this picture? They say that Johan Rasch is with his two wifes in the background: https://www.myheritage.no/photo-1535015_174748612_174748612/epitaph...
