Commission royale d'Histoire

Last updated

The Commission royale d'Histoire (in French) or Koninklijke Commissie voor Geschiedenis (in Dutch) is the Belgian Royal Historical Commission. It was founded by royal decree on 22 July 1834. [1]

The Commission initially published their proceedings under the title Compte-rendu des séances de la commission royale d'histoire and since 1845 have published a journal, the Bulletin de la Commission royale d'Histoire / Handelingen van de Koninklijke Commissie voor Geschiedenis. [2]

It is the mission of the Commission 'to undertake research, to identify, edit or analyse written sources of interest to the history of Belgium, to publish critical studies relating to these sources and to make working tools available to historians'. [3] To fulfill this mission, the Commission has had numerous collaborators. In 1836, for example, Victor Coremans was given the task, under the Commission's supervision, of making the German-language archives from the National Archives of Belgium available for research. [4]

The county of Brunengeruz existed in the 10th and 11th centuries in what is now eastern Belgium, between the town of Leuven on the river Dyle and Tienen on the river Gete. It was part of the larger region known as the Hesbaye. The name is sometimes interpreted with "corrected" forms such as Brunenrode, because the Latin spellings are believed to derive from Brūninga roþa, meaning a forest clearing belonging to the kinsfolk of Bruno.
