Geertruidenberg

Geertruidenberg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɣeːrtrœydə(m)ˌbɛr(ə)x] ⓘ) is a city and municipality in the province North Brabant in the south of the Netherlands.

In 1213, Sint Geertruidenberg (English: "Saint Gertrude's Mountain") received city rights from Count William I of Holland.

In 1420 a similar siege during a later Hook and Cod war caused huge damage to the city.

[5] In 1573, during the Eighty Years War, the city was captured in a surprise attack by an English, French Huguenot and Fleming force.

She is supported by four aldermen who, with the mayor, form the College van Burgemeester en Wethouders.
