Several abbeys located in today’s Belgium are mentioned as territorial entities in the Meerssen Treaty of 870, although they were considered primarily as centers of spirituality. By collecting the topographical and archaeological data, though fragmentary and of unequal confidence, we can see that these royal abbeys, at the crossroads of an effective network dating from the Roman Antiquity, fulfilled much more varied functions : economic, political, military ... These observations, archaeological data of the last thirty years and functional analysis allow to reconsider the written sources ; we propose to identify two of these abbeys of until now uncertain location : Ledi, which would be Liège, and Calmont, which could be the Coudenberg in Brussels.
