The County of Loon (which now covers the Belgian Limburg province) was an entity which appeared in the early 11th c, became part of Liège in the 14th c. and completely disappeared in 1794. A short #Thread about this forgotten land.
Initially three 'shires' existed which would form the County of Loon. At some point different brothers ruled the area (the whole thing is slightly complicated), but at some point in the 11th c. a man called Giselbert emerged who carried the title 'Count of Loon'.
His grandson Arnold I (1045-1125) is often dubbed the actual first Count of Loon and managed to expand his domain, built castles and became guardian of various abbeys. His son, Arnolf II founded the Abbey of Averbode (1135) and supported Liège during the Battle of Wilderen.

In the 1860s, Louis Gallait was asked to paint 15 portraits of historical figures to be placed at the Plenary Room of the Belgian Senate. After his death some portraits were added. A short #thread on these figures and who why they were relevant to Belgium. #twitterstorians
Let's start with Pepin of Herstal (635 – 714), an important Frankish statesman who was born in Herstal and had his powerbase in present day Belgium.
Then we have Charlemagne (747-814) who requires no introduction of course.

Today a #thread on Count Arnulf I of Flanders, aka the Great (893-964).
Born in 893 (approx.) as son of Baldwin II of Flanders & Ælfthryth, daughter of Alfred the Great. After his father's death he did not inherit the entire county as his brother Adalolf received a part. Adalof was killed in 933 fighting the vikings after which Arnulf took that part.
In the meantime Arnulf fought Rollo of Normandy, beat the vikings in 926 and waged war against Herbert II van Vermandois and took the Norman city of Montreuil. In 942 Arnulf invited William (son of Rolle) for talks but ordered his assissination, so Arnulf kept Montreuil.

On Christmas Day 861 a man called Baldwin eloped with Judith, daughter of King Charles the Bald of West-Francia. A daring and very bold move, but one with some ramifications for the place that is now called Belgium: a #thread
Charles the Bald was furious,ordered everyone not to shelter his daughter/Baldwin and asked bishops to excommunicate them. The pair therefore moved to Rome where they pleaded with Pope Nicholas I who urged Charles to reconcile with his daughter and - yet unofficial - son-in-law.
Charles finally accepted the situation and accepted an official marriage in 862. He also gave Baldwin the 'pagus Flandrensis' and in 862 Baldwin thus became the first Count of Flanders. Some said he hoped Baldwin would be killed by raiding vikings.

Did you know Belgium and the Netherlands share what is probably one of the weirdest borders in the world. Curious how this came to be? Well, buckle up and check this #thread #twitterstorians Image
It all started in the 12th c. when a conflict between Duke Henry I of Brabant and Dirk VII of Holland rose. The Lord of Breda, Godfried van Schoten, pledged allegiance to Henry who gave him pieces of land and kept some land as his personal property. ImageImage
So at some point you had land called Baarle onder Breda (held by the Lord of Breda) and Baarle onder de Hertog (held by the Duke).

Today we will look at the Prince-Bishopric of Liège, a state within the Holy Roman Empire that existed till 1795 and has a fascinating history. A #thread #twitterstorians
The Bishopric of Liège already existed for quite some time when in 985 and 987 Bishop Notger acquired the counties of Huy and Bruningerode, thus allowing him to claim secular power as well and morphing his bishopric into a principality.
In the course of centuries the Prince-Bishops acquired more land as they got their hands on the Lordship of Bouillon in 1096, the County of Loon in 1366 (after the Wars of the Loon Succession) and the County of Horne in 1568.
