In the early modern period, all German cities were fortified places. Because contemporary jurists have defined 'city' as a coherent social body in a protected place, the urban environment had to be physically separate from the surrounding countryside. This separation was crucial to guaranteeing the city's commercial, political and legal privileges. Fortifications were therefore essential for any settlement to be termed a city. This book tells the story of German cities' metamorphoses from walled to de-fortified places between 1689 and 1866. Using a wealth of original sources, The Defortification of the German City, 1689-1866 discusses one of the most significant moments in the emergence of the modern city: the dramatic and often traumatic demolition of the city's centuries-old fortifications and the creation of the open city.

Tournai, par sa situation stratégique, a toujours été au cœur des grands événements historiques qui ont façonné l’Europe. Capitale de la Francie, avant que Clovis décide d’aller s’installer à Paris. Ville royale, ses armes sont surmontées depuis cinq cents ans par trois lys octroyés par le roi de France, privilège unique en Belgique. Enclavée dans le puissant comté de Flandres, elle est convoitée par les souverains européens de France, d’Angleterre, d’Espagne, d’Autriche, de Hollande. Napoléon reprenant même sur son manteau de sacre d’empereur, les Abeilles d’or du trésor tournaisien du roi Childéric. Tournai a dû se protéger par des enceintes et des gens d’armes devenant ainsi ville fortifiée avec des contingents de militaires. Ce livre retrace cette grande Histoire par les riches collections des musées de la Ville complétées par celles de Lille et de Bruxelles ainsi que par des apports de collections privées. En deux mille ans d’histoire militaire, Tournai s’est progressivement métamorphosée, de gré ou de force, en fonction des conflits ou de décisions politiques. Depuis près de 70 ans, l’Europe est en paix. La vocation des militaires n’est plus de défendre la ville où ils sont contingentés. La caserne Ruquoy de Tournai forme aujourd’hui des militaires qui iront défendre les valeurs humanistes de par le monde.

The excavation of an area within the grounds of the Prebendal, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, adjacent to the parish church of St Mary's, showed that the town, which lies on a slight spur, is sited within a univallate Iron Age hillfort. Early-Middle Iron Age activity included the creation of a notable ritual area contaning the burials of four children and a young woman, most accompanied by animals; and a 'bone mass' containing animal bone, mostly disarticulated. Within a generation or so of the deposit's creation, within the first half of the 4th century BC, a univallate hillfort was constructed which did not continue into the later Iron Age. Early in the Middle Saxon period a palisade trench was dug into the hillfort's ditch, which was replaced by a ditch in the 8th century. Both palisade and ditch were almost certainly the boundaries of an early minster church and it is very likely that the former existence of the hillfort influenced its siting here. An unusual piece of Merovingian glass with a moulded cross on its base is likely to have been one of the minster's possessions. The extensive minster cemetery and later Saxon development of the town is briefly noted. A significant Saxo-Norman grain deposit which has been radiocarbon dated to the 11th-12th centuries is described.
