STAVELOT

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 816 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STAVELOT , an ancient town of Belgium, in the
south
 -
east
  of the province of Liege. Pop. (1904), 5037. Here Charles Martel gained a
signal
  victory over
Neustria
  in 719. A monastery had been established there half a century earlier by St Remacle,
bishop
  of Tongres. The prince-abbot of Stavelot exercised secular authority over many towns in the Amble-Nee and Warche valleys, including Malmedy (now in
Prussia
 ), and had a seat in the old German Diet. In 1815 the treaty of Vienna broke up the Stavelot principality, giving half to
Prussia
  and half to the
Netherlands
 . Only the tower of the old
Benedictine
  abbey remains, and the shrine of St Remacle is preserved in the parish
church
 .
