Tiel en Wedde

Een plaate van de Burcht te Wedde, behorend bij de goed uitgevoerde website. Wedde ligt dicht bij de grens en tot tweemaal toe werd de burcht door de Munstersen bezet in hun tussenstop naar Groningen.





Het volgende plaatje is Tiel in 1672, en komt van de beeldbank Gelderland.

Two pictures to lighten up an already sunny Sunday morning. The first one is of the castle of Wedde, a village near the Dutch/German border, often contested in several wars and occupied twice by the Munster troops, as a stop on the route to Groningen.

The picture comes from the website of the castle. Unfortunatly, the text is in dutch as it has a lot of info on the history of the Munster/Dutch border area.

The second pic shows a map of the town of Tiel, occupied by the French in 1672. The plate comes from the image bank of the musea in the Province of Guelders. Enter a text in the white bar, left of the word 'zoeken', which means search, to perform a search.
