INTERESTING FACTS
CONCERING CAMBRAI
IN NORTHERN FRANCE
i
Cambrai, a town in Northern France
capital of Arrondisement in the* De
partment of Nord, 57 miles southeast
of Lille, on the main line of the j
Northern Railway. Population ini
1916, 21,791. Situated on the right j
and eastern bank of the Scheldt, and;
at one extremity of the canal of St. |
Quentin. Cambrai is the ancient Ner-1
vian town of Camaracum, which is
mentioned in the Antonnine Itiner
ary. In tho 5th century it was the;
capital of the Frankish King Ragua
charius. Fortified by Charlemagne,
it was captured and pillaged by the
Norsemen in 870, and unsuccessfully
besieged by the Hungarians in 953.
During the 10th, 11th, and 12th cen
turies, it was the scene of frequent
hostilities between the Bishop and
supporters and citizens, the latter fi
nally securing their independence. In!
1487 Louis XI obtained possession at j
the death of Charles the Bold, and
turned it over to Charles V., who
caused it to be strongly fortified in
the 16th century. From that date to
the peace of Nijmwegen, which as
signed it to France, it changed hands
on numerous occasions. In more
modem times many of the old forti
fications were demolished to make
way for streets and suburban resi
dences. It is an important supply
station and noted to tourists for its |
architecture and ancient church build-1
ings.
Much depends upon environment,!
but there is no reason why living in,
the cross streets should make people;
any the less amiable.
