Dongelberg

Dongelberg (Walloon: Dongbiè) is a village in the Belgian province of Walloon Brabant and a sub-municipality of Jodoigne.

The name means dark mountain.

Dongelberg appears as Donglebert in a text dated 1079 and Dungelberge in the 12th century. In the Middle Ages the settlement was a fief of several families, including the Dongelberg family until 1305, before falling entirely under the control of Jean Meeuwe, the half brother of John II, Duke of Brabant. It was an independent municipality until 1977, when it was placed within Jodoigne as part of the fusion of the Belgian municipalities.

gollark: I have a library for it, but it is *not* reliable and is quite tightly coupled to potatOS at this point.
