Tanchelin
Tanchelin or Tanchelme (born in Zealand - died in 1115 with Antwerp) is a religious reforming monk of the beginning of the 12th century, known especially for its Antisacerdotalisme.
It would have belonged to the entourage of the count Robert II of Flanders (Robert of Jerusalem), which had followed the duke Godefroy de Bouillon in Palestine.
Tanchelin started with précher in Holland, Zealand and the Brabant as of 1112. Its criticisms were directed against the Roman Catholic church. He preached the enlarging of évêché of Thérouanne until Utrecht. Imprisoned in Cologne in 1113 - 1114, it was released in spite of the protests of the Chanoine S of Utrecht. Finally, he was assassinated in 1115 by a priest Catholique whereas he crossed the the Scheldt to Antwerp.
Its theses had such a success that the pope ordered in 1124 with Norbert de Xanten to go to Antwerp. To fight the “tanchelism”, Norbert transformed the chapter Séculier of the Saint-Michel abbey of Antwerp into chapter Régulier.
