's Hertogenbosch |
The town of 's Hertogenbosch (Bois-le-Duc) was founded ca 1185 by Duke Hendrik I of Brabant. It soon developed into a flourishing town.
Patron of the main church: Johannes Evangelista.
Up till 1559 the town belonged to the diocese of Luik (Liège); then it received its own bishop's see, and came under the archdiocese of Mechelen.
In 1629 the town was conquered by Prince Frederik Hendrik, and thus fell in protestant hands; in contrast with the northern towns Contrareformation was strong in 's Hertogenbosch during the protestant government.
