Full text | 294 Route 23. LIEGE. From Mechlin 14 sons of dukes, 29 counts and 7 barons; only one was not ofo noble birth. : The town felt itself powerful enough to offer an asyfum to theid Empr. Henry [V, when deposed from the throne of Germany, anda to brave the anger of his son. Unfortunately the episcopal govt.iy was never very strong and during several centuries the history ofo Liege is little else than a narration of obstinate conflicts betweents: the people and their Bps. : the Emperors of Germany, whilst they con-a firmed all the territorial donations made to the see of S. Lambert, and entrusted the govt. of the principality to his successors, hads nevertheless left untouched the municipal institutions. The towns, which soon had to defend their liberties against the encroach-d: ments of the Bps., were, on the other hand, torn by internal dis-ai sensions, being divided into 2 hostile classes of inhabs. the Greatss and the Small. At Liege the former class comprised all the bur-m gesses of patrician origin, who availed themselves of the libertiesigi of the city where they filled every office to the exclusion of they Small or plebeians, who, in return for a mere right of possession , 1 had alone to bear all the taxes.

Liege: had become one of the most celebrated and powerful cities in En- rope when it incurred the wrath of Charles the Bold, who, accom- panied by Louis XI, completely devastated the whole city with ther exception of a few churches and religious houses; 52,900 of its# inhabs. were put to death and the remainder expelled and driven ite into the forests of the Ardennes. It was not long however hefores the town recovered from this terrible disaster and in 1560 itti 13 mentioned by Guicciardini in his description of the Loww Countries as a handsome and populous town of considerable pf extent. In 1676 the Prince-Bp. was deprived of the Duchy of Bouilloni hy the French, who in 1691 bombarded the town and took it inti en | |
