W. C a r e w H a z l i t t Coinage of the European Continent

398 The Coins of Europe
The operations of the mint determined in 1595; and
Cambrai was annexed to France in 1677.*
Originally, with Gaesbeck, Leeuwen, and Russon, an
appanage of the duchy of Brabant, and detached in order
to form a fief for Godefroi, younger son of Henri
le Guerroyeur, Duke of Brabant, 1190-1235.
The town was celebrated at an earlier period as the birthplace
of Pepin cl'Heristal. The domain reverted in 1324.
There are esterlings and deniers of Henri (1253-85), of
Jean Tristan I., (1285-1309), of Felicita of Luxemburgh his
widow as guardian, and of their son Jean II. (1309-24).
Herstal and Russon appear to have been the seats of coinage
and possibly Gaesbeck was likewise.

Towns and Subordinate Fiefs
\
Within this circle lay a considerable number of urban
centres and smaller lordships which never acquired a very
conspicuous share in the government of affairs, and on the
other hand generally survived the vicissitudes to which their
more ambitious and formidable contemporaries exposed
themselves. Of all of these a perhaps adequate account has
been furnished in the Catalogues. We subjoin a list of
