The youngest son of [[Gaspard II Schetz]] and Catharina d'Ursel, of the noble [[Ursel family]], and the younger brother of [[Conrad III Schetz]], Anthonie was baptised in Antwerp in August 1564. His parents had 21 children in total, eight of whom survived to adulthood. His father was from the Schetzenbergh family, a German patrician family from [[Schmalkalden]], and was the chief banker in Antwerp, financing several merchants who traded to Russia and Brazil, including his own brothers Melchior and Balthazar. Gaspar was also banker to [[Philip II of Spain]], giving him a political role and making him a leading figure in the Antwerp of the second half of the 16th century.
In 1637 Baron Schetz was created 1st Count of Grobbendonck.<ref>''Mémoires du comte de Mérode d'Ongnies: avec une introduction et des notes, 1665'' (Mons, 1840), n129.</ref>

Line 77:
<!---Schetz' militaire loopbaan was na de val van 's-Hertogenbosch nog niet beëindigd. Trouw aan Spanje werd hij in 1635 op 71-jarige leeftijd nog aangesteld als gouverneur van de stad Leuven. Deze stad doorstond in 1637 onder zijn leiding het staatse beleg. Als dank werd hij met al zijn nakomelingen door koning Karel IV van Spanje verheven in de gravenstand. Anthonie Schetz werd uiteindelijk in 1641 te Brussel bijgezet in de Jezuïetenkerk. Zijn echtgenote overleed in 1650 en werd naast hem begraven.--->
