The "HURDEBISE" of Lodomez Taken from a document titled “Des Papes en Ardennes” about the hamlet of Lodomez, near Stavelot. Just as in Rome and in Avignon, Lodomez was the site where popes took up headquarters for some years. They reigned in the hollow of the hill that sinks into the Amblève River, in Lodomez, a hamlet located between Stavelot and Bellevaux on the road to Luxemburg. A total of 10 popes were elected. It all started with the French Revolution. With all the heads rolling, the Nobles, Bourgeois and clerics had to hide. The priests celebrated christenings, marriages and burial in the deepest secret, from farm to farm, because their very life was on the line should they be caught. The Stavelot-Malmédy principality was reattached to the Department of the Ourthe, the church pillaged, abbeys burnt to the ground… The Stavelot abbey burnt to the ground, the Bishop Prince Célestin THYS had fled with his monks. It is during this period (1789) that Lodomez decided to choose someone among them who would basically make up for the lack of religious clergy: a robust farmer1 in his forties, single, happy-go-lucky, very religious, Antoine HURDEBISE. They later gave him the nickname of “Pope”, whether with fondness or to poke fun at his level of dedication to his task. He administered the last rights to the dying and christened newborns. http://privatestay.com/accommodation/Be When the church reopened its doors, Antoine HURDEBISE did not revert to his position as a lgium/Lige/Stavelot- simple parishioner, instead he continued serving as ‘the Pope’. It is only when he was close to Vieux_Moulin_de_Lodomez_00002681.p dying that his papacy is made official. hp?det=4 Peace had returned but the people decided to keep this tradition. Rules were set and four cardinals chosen from among the wisest villagers. One of the requirements to become pope stipulated that one had to be a member of the HURDEBISE family, single and likely to remain so. Tradition also dictated that on Saint Sebastien Day the pope offered the villagers some “mirou”, a wheat cake kneaded in milk, with butter and sugar, poured pekêt2 to the men and coffee to the women. The pope also had to chase away demons from each of the hamlet’s farms. When Antoine I died in October 1830, the pope dynasty began in Lodomez. The conclave formed by the 4 cardinals chose a worthy successor for the deceased pope: Ferdinand HURDEBISE. He died in 1848. At his death, three HURDEBISE brothers presented themselves: Antoine, Jacques and Louis, who all three met the requirements as worthy successor. They threw the dice and Antoine II was chosen. But he had purchased land in the neighboring village of Beaumont and that was unacceptable to the residents of Lodomez.

  • Baanrotsen in Brabant
    KU Leuven Faculty of Arts Blijde Inkomststraat 21 box 3301 3000 LEUVEN, BELGIË Baanrotsen in Brabant Title, power and nobility in the duchy of Brabant in the long fourteenth century Sarah De Decker Presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Advanced Master of Arts in Medieval and Renaissance Studies Supervisor: prof. dr. Hans Cools Academic year 2014-2015 164 096 characters ACKNOWLEDGMENTS In comparison to my dear friends and colleagues from the Advanced Master, it took me some time longer to finish my thesis. The main reason for this was the uncertainty that prevailed at the beginning of this research concerning the question whether I could find baanrotsen in sources for the thirteenth and fourteenth century other than the chronicle of Jan van Heelu. Every time this uncertainty came up, it was met with the positive and motivating spirit of my supervisor prof. dr. Hans Cools. For his patience with me these last two years, for his constant support and for all the encouraging discussions about baanrotsen and Brabant, I would like to sincerely thank him. The completion of this thesis would also never have been realised without the support of my family and friends. To my aunt in particular, Tante Mie, I owe special thanks. She always made time to scrutinize the spelling and grammar of this entire thesis and in doing so, she ensured that I did not had to be embarrassed about my English writing. I would also like to thank my best friends Marjon and Lies, my sister, for the reading, their support and all the hours they sacrificed to listening to all my thoughts and concerns.

  • Inventory of the Belgian Bark Beetles (Scolytidae), Horned Powderpost Beetles (Bostrychidae) and Their Associated Saproxylic Beetle Fauna
    Inventory of the Belgian bark beetles (Scolytidae), horned powderpost beetles (Bostrychidae) and their associated saproxylic beetle fauna Biodiversity Platform Digitisation Project Call (2010-2011) Report by Patrick Grootaert (RBINS) With the help of Stefan Kerkhof (RBINS), Alain Drumont (RBINS), Wouter Dekoninck (RBINS), Arno Thomaes (INBO), Koen Smets (INBO) & André Huyghebaert (BEBIF) Rationale Saproxylic beetles comprise an important part of forest biodiversity. Since many years there is a great interest in saproxylophagous / xylobiont insects from various stakeholders. Traditionally, engineers in forest management are interested in the species causing damage to standing wood as well as windfall trees after storms. There is a demand for distribution maps of pest species in order to see progress of dispersal if any. Engineers are interested to be alerted of dangerous invasive species. On the other hand many xylobiont species are not harmful at all and prefer to live in dead and decaying wood. Their presence is often an indication of maturity and quality of a forest. Hence there is a demand for more information from both forestry management as well as nature conservation. Introduction Many xylobiont beetles are very rare in Belgian forests because there has been an over-exploitation of wood during the last 100 years. Recently distribution changes have been observed for several species caused by natural dispersal or as a result of human transport. In Belgium, there are no recent and complete catalogues (last one is on Cerambycidae: Muylaert, 1984) or distribution atlases for most of the saproxylic and xylobiont beetle families, which poses a problem handling questions concerning biodiversity conservation, forest health, or dealing with invasive species.

  • A GERMAN WAR PRACTICES
    a GERMAN WAR PRACTICES PART I TREATMENT OF CIVILIANS EDITED BY DANA C. MUNRO PRINCETON UNIVERSITY GEORGE C. SELLERY and AUGUST C. KREY UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN UNIVERSITY OF .MINNESOTA ISSUED BY THE COMMITTEE ON PUBLIC INFORMATION THE SECRETARY OF STATE THE SECRETARY OF WAR .THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY GEORGE CREEL EXECUTIVE ORDER. I hereby create a Committee on Public Information, to be composed of the Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and a civilian who shall be charged with the executive direction of the Committee. As civilian Chairman of the Committee I appoint Mr. George Creel. The Secretary of State, the Secretary of War, and the Secretary of the Navy are authorized each to detail an officer or officers to the work of the Committee. WOODROW WILSON. April 14, 1917. INTRODUCTION. For many years leaders in every civilized nation have been trying to make warfare less brutal. The great Germany landmarks in this movement are the Geneva regulations. aSU6 an<^ Hague Conventions. The former made rules as to the care of the sick and wounded and established the Red Cross. At the first meeting at Geneva, in 1864, it was agreed, and until the present war it has been taken for granted, that the wounded, and the doctors and nurses who cared for them, would be safe from all attacks by the enemy. The Hague Conventions, drawn up in 1899 and 1907, made additional rules to soften the usages of war and especially to protect noncombatants and conquered lands. Germany took a prominent part in these meetings and with the other nations solemnly pledged her faith to keep all the rules except one article in the Hague Regulations.

  • Annex to the Proposal for a Council
    EUROPEAN COMMISSION Brussels, 23.6.2021 COM(2021) 349 final ANNEX ANNEX to the Proposal for a Council Implementing Decision on the approval of the assessment of the recovery and resilience plan for Belgium {SWD(2021) 172 final} EN EN ANNEX SECTION 1: REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS UNDER THE RECOVERY AND RESILIENCE PLAN 1. DESCRIPTION OF REFORMS AND INVESTMENTS A. COMPONENT 1.1: RENOVATION This component of the Belgian recovery and resilience plan is focused on the renovation of private and public buildings. The main objective of the component is to renovate the existing building stock and make it more energy and resource efficient. These include in particular public buildings, social infrastructure and residential housing, and more generally the less performing buildings in terms of energy efficiency. Therefore, this component contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing job opportunities and growth in sustainable construction, as well as social resilience through the reduction of energy bills. The component contributes to addressing Country Specific Recommendation 2019.3, calling on Belgium to focus investment-related economic policy on, inter alia, the low carbon and energy transition. It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the DNSH Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).
