<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2471528, member: 77704&quot;]I was born in Julich/ this was called Julich-Cleve-Berg in medieval times. One of Henry VIII&#039;s six wives was &quot;Anne of Cleves&quot;, she was not very good looking....so he sent her packing back to Germany! Probably this was fortunate for her. My Mother was from Koln (Cologne) which was ruled by an Archbishop. When the last Duke of Julich died without a heir/ the Pope almost made the Duchy part of the Spanish Netherlands, however the Prince from Palatine converted to Catholicsm....so he got the prize instead. Here is one of my Cologne AV Goldguldens...</p><p><br /></p><p>AV Goldgulden ND 20.5mm./3.50g. struck in 1372 at Bonn Mint</p><p>Frederick II of Saarewerden </p><p>[ATTACH=full]520081[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
