The earliest mention Of Antwerp is in the fifth
century, when it was included as one Of the
towns Of Germany. When the Mortimer engaged
in their raids they sailed up the Scheldt and
stormed the town. A. the time Of the Crusades
the town formed one of thep rincipal buwarks Of
the Germans against the counts of Flanders, and
its first claim to historic prominence was under
the margraviate of Godfrey de Bouillon in the
eleventh century. Three hundred years later Ed
