History
The Castellany had the Salle de Lille (or Castle of Lille) as its chef-lieu, seat of the feodal court of the count.
The Castellany is mentioned for the first time in 1039 and was divided into seven quartiers:[2][3]
Mélantois (chef-lieu: Seclin)
Weppes (chef-lieu: Wavrin)
Pévèle (chef-lieu: Orchies)
Ferrain (chef-lieu: Comines)
Carembault (chef-lieu: Phalempin)

The original castle was the castle of Plouich at Phalempin. The necropolis of the châtelains was located in the Saint-Christophe abbey, in the same city. It was founded by Saswallon, first châtelain of Lille, in 1039.
