Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DIO-DRO
DOULLENS , a town of northern France,
capital
  of an arrondissement in the department of Somme, on the Authie, 27 m. N. of Amiens by rail. Pop. (1906) 4495. It has a citadel of the 15th and 16th centuries which has often served as a state prison and is now used as a reformatory for girls. There are also a belfry of the 17th century and two old churches. The town is the seat of a sub-prefect and has a tribunal of first instance; it has
trade
  in phosphates, of which there are workings in the vicinity, and carries on
cotton
 -spinning and the manufacture of leather,
paper
  and
sugar
 . Doullens, the ancient Dulincum, was seat of a viscountship and an important stronghold in the middle ages. In 1475 it was burnt by Louis XI. for openly siding with the
house
  of
Burgundy
 . In 1595 it was besieged and occupied by the Spaniards, but was restored to France by the treaty of Vervins
(1598).
