Six of the seven charters discussed above deal with the protracted conflict between the Ninove Abbey and Gerard II of Grimbergen, situated between 1144 and 1167. We consider the first (1138) of the three charters of Bishop Nicholas I of Cambrai as the authentic charter of foundation of the abbey, containing the deed of donation of Gerard I of Ninove. The second charter of 1139 is of doubtful authenticity. The episcopal charter of 1165, which contains a detailed list of goods of the abbey, is regarded as authentic. The two last mentioned charters can already be situated within the conflict between the abbey and Gerard II of Grimbergen. The abbey used the falsified charter of 1139, presumably made between 1144 and 1147, in order to avoid the conflict. With the charter of 1165 the abbey wanted – via the authority of bishop Nicholas II– to resolve the conflict once and for all. The three charters of the Counts of Flanders were issued in a very short span (between 1166-1167) at the height of the conflict. They deal with the Ninove Abbey's right of the advocatia, which was originally by hereditary right connected to the dominium of the Lords of Ninove. In his charter of 1163/1166 Count Philip of Alsace claimed this right. The 1142 charter of his father Thierry, in which Gerard I of Ninove donates the advocatia to the Count, has been drawn and issued but in 1166-1167 in the Ninove Abbey. This is a logical link between Count Philip's two charters concerning the advocatia. In the 1167 charter of the Count the conflict is definitely resolved: Gerard II of Grimbergen is forced to accept the Count's prerogatives concerning the advocatia of the abbey. At the same time we have drawn a picture of the broader context of the Count's appearance and we have proved that Philip of Alsace – with his intervention in the Ninove conflict – introduced a new kind of politics in relation to the organisation of the central authority of the Count in the county of Flanders in general and in the Land of Aalst in particular. The charters issued in the period between 1165 and 1167 were a key moment and turning point in the history of the Ninove Abbey of the 12th century. In 1167 a period of conflicts with the relatives of the founder had been ended and a new period of rest, welfare and protection by the Count had been announced. The Ninove Liber Miraculorum offers a probing report on this change.

The Premonstratensian abbeys were mostly located in the countryside and are often characterised as rural institutions. However, from an early date they developed many links with the cities, which was certainly the case in the Low Countries, an area experiencing a strong process of urbanisation during the late Middle Ages. In the contacts between the abbeys and the cities a crucial role appears to have been played by the houses ('hospicia' or 'mansiones') the abbeys owned in the cities for their own use. These houses, often of considerable size and splendour, fulfilled various functions for the abbeys, functions which developed over time. During the 12th-14th centuries the urban mansions were used mainly for storage, transport and marketing of food stuffs produced on the monastic lands, for instance on nearby granges. With the decline of direct exploitation and the rise of monetarised leasing, however, this function declined. Other functions came more to the fore, such as a base for purchasing goods on the urban market, and a place of residence for negotiations, study or political matters requiring a stay in the city. Also the urban mansions were used more and more as permanent residences, mainly for (retired) abbots. Especially during the religious troubles in the 16th century another function surfaced: that of urban refuge. Thus, these urban houses mirrored the manyfold contacts between abbeys and cities, and also the changes these contacts underwent in time.
