About Mons

Mons is a Walloon city and municipality, and the capital of the Belgian province of Hainaut. The first signs of pastime within the area of Mons are located at Spiennes, wherein some of the great flint gear in Europe had been observed relationship from the Neolithic period. When Julius Caesar arrived within the area within the 1st century BC, the place turned into settled by using the Nervii, a Belgian tribe.

A castrum turned into built in Roman times, giving the settlement its Latin name Castrilocus; the name became later changed into Montes for the mountain on which the castrum changed into constructed. In the 7th century, Saint Ghislain and of his disciples built an oratory or chapel committed to Saints Peter and Paul close to the Mons hill, at a place referred to as Ursidongus, now known as Saint-Ghislain. Soon after, Saint Waltrude, daughter of considered one of Clotaire II’s intendants, came to the oratory and became proclaimed a saint upon her demise in 688. She became canonized in 1039. Like Ath, its neighbour to the north-west, Mons became made a fortified town with the aid of Count Baldwin IV of Hainaut in the 12th century.
