1252 Hasselt obtains its city charter from
bishop Hendrik van Vianden.
Hendrik van Vianden was pressed by
other towns not to agree with the charter.
It took Hasselt a long period of time
to convince the Bishop. After supporting
the Bishop in a small war against the
Drents, the charter was released.

1350 Hasselt joins the Hanzepact to protect
their international trade.
The Hanzepact was of great importance
for merchants in Hasselt. In those days
trading goods were taxed at every city,
highway or rivercrossing. After joining
the Hanzepact duty free routes all
over Europe became available to Hasselt.
However important the Hanzepact was,
Hasselt always stayed a minor member
of the pact.
