Original narrative: The city of Oudenarde, which is likewise a fortress, is situated between Ghent and Tournay, about fifteen miles from the former city. It has long been celebrated for its manufactures, which are spoken of with great commendation in works of the seventeenth century. It contains about 5,500 inhabitants. The city is of great antiquity, although antiquarians are not agreed as to the time of its foundation. It would seem to have been occupied by the Romans, as many Roman coins, medals, and statues have, from time to time, been found here. Gramaie, and other historians, however, pretend that the city owes its origin to a fortress built by the Huns on the Schelde, in the year 411; which assertion, like many other antiquarian hypotheses, would be somewhat difficult of proof. Philip of Alsace, Count of Flanders, enclosed the place, and conferred many privileges on its inhabitants ; and from the favour of this prince may be dated the origin of the prosperity of Oudenarde. In Oudenarde were born Margaret of Parma, Drusius, and the painter, Adrian Brauwer. Martin2001 Satisfaction Guaranteed Policy!
