The origin of the house of Udekem dates back to the Late Middle Ages, with the earliest notable member dated as dying in 1511. During its history, the house has been composed of several different families, among them the houses of Acoz and Guertechin. Guertechin was merged into this house in the 17th century, while in the 18th century the Heerlijkheid of Acoz was obtained via marriage.
