e Daily British ° < Nan The early records of the Belgian capital, which is now in the hands of the Germans are rather meagre, al though .it was mentioned in history as far back as the tenth century. About that time Charles, brother of King Lothaire of France and grand son of Charlemagne, who had been raised to the Duchy of Lower Lor raine by the Emperor Otho II of Germany built a castle close to the church of St. Grey, and began a reign over that part of the country His rule, however, was a short one for on attempting to im the French throne after the death of his brother, Charles was captured and gent to prison at Orleans, where he died a short time later. .One of his daughters married Lambert, the Count of Louvain, and after the de " parture of his father-in-law, this nobleman appropriated Brussels which explains why Louvain and not Brussels was the first capital of the country, In those days when a man became a ruler, he surrounded the city with a wall and Lambert was the first man to build a wall about' Brussels. This wall was pierced by seven gates, Seven aristo- cratie families secured the privilege of building castles inside and eaoh assumed the custody of the gate nearest its abode. In this way there was protection from the raids of robber knights In the eleventh century the provi- rion of security from robbers en couraged manufacture and the weav- ing industry soon furnished the basis of public prosperity an in dustry which still afforas employ- ment for a large number of persons About the year 1 5 Brussels receiv ed Its first character of enfranchise ment which gave the citizens right of choosing sheriffs and juror: There was much dis the | (SSELS SS 7 O20 OF ° CBE Bower rl v7 TE oe a" 2 Le per Siri ed ussion over this | great "freedom" and in the midst of | these discussions John I of Brabant, | came to reign over the people. This ruler was one of the really splendid figures of the feudal ages--a pobt, knight errant and songster as well as a wise, considerate ruler. His court became the resort for Trouba dours and he and his sister, Mary, who later became the Queen of France, frequently took part in the competitions of the minstrels. As a knight errant he was victorious in seventy tourneys, His wars while expensive to the residents, gained | them extra privileges. Then came John II and John IIL, the latter dy- ing in 1365, During the reigns of the three Johns, Brussels had been growing in importance and several of the magnificent churches that have come down to the present da: were already in. ghe course of von struction, The city was assumiug an impes- ng appearance by the erection of many buildings by people who were | seeking thé safety of a walled city and soon Brussels numbered its in MADE MYSTERIOUS HOLE, Zeppelin Petrol Supply Near London.
