The first mention of Leuven goes back to 891 ('Loven'), when a Viking army was defeated by the German emperor Arnulf of Carinthia. According to the city legend, its red-white-red colours depict the blood-stained shores of the river Dijle after this battle. Situated at this river and nearby the stronghold of the Dukes of Brabant, Leuven became the most important center of trade in the duchy between the 11th and the 14th century. A token of its former importance as a center of cloth manufacture, is nicely reflected in the typical Leuven linen ...

The true motivation for the Cadaver Synod was political. Pope Formosus was initially forced to crown Lambert, one of the sons of the Duke of Spoleto, as co-ruler of the Holy Roman Empire.

Formosus invited the Franks to invade Italy, which they did in 896. The pope then crowned Arnulf of Carinthia as Holy Roman Emperor. The Frankish army quickly retreated and Formosus was succeeded by Pope Boniface VI, who d ...
