  Johann von Werth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Starting in July 1636, from the country of the lower Meuse, he raided far and wide, and even urged the cardinal infante, who commanded in chief, to "plant the double eagle on the Louvre." Though this was not attempted.
His first campaign against the French marshal Guebriant was uneventful, but his second (1643) in which Count Mercy was his commander-in-chief, ended with the victory of Tüttlingen, a surprise on a large scale, in which Werth naturally played the leading part.
In 1644 he was in the lower Rhine country, but he returned to Mercy's headquarters in time to take a brilliant share in the battle of Freiburg.

 Complaint in the Nature of a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari and to Invoke the General Superintendence of the Court ...
Meuse was merely exercising his shared legal custody -- then existing per Judge Sahagian's order -- to make a medical decision regarding the child by taking the child from Florida and bringing her to Children's Hospital and other local-area medical and therapy professionals.
Meuse argued that "in the absence of a custody order altering his or her natural custody rights to a child, neither parent commits the crime of kidnapping by taking exclusive possession of the child." Com.
Such was the case of Meuse: Meuse had been living with his child and her mother when she absconded with the child to someplace unknown and ultimately ended up in Florida on some date unknown.

 Meuse Valley, Belgium
The Meuse (Flemish Maas) rises at an altitude of 456m/1,497ft in the French plateau of Langres in Champagne.
In the shadow of the steep ridges nestle pretty villages, with hotels and villa settlements in the valley of the river, which are popular summer resorts.
As long ago as the Stone Age hunters and gatherers lived in caves along the river, and much later monks chose the lower reaches of the river to build their monasteries, while the secular lords erected imposing castles and fortresses on the heights.

 Rule 27 Petition for Rehearing to Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court: When No Other Interlocutory Appellate Review is ...
Meuse also cannot receive adequate relief because there have issued, so I have been led to believe while writing the appellate briefs, three state and federal warrants for his arrest.
Given that Meuse took his child's health, safety, and well-being seriously enough to put his liberty on the line to save his daughter from harm, the highest court in our state must be willing to consider his infant's health, safety, and well-being serious enough to take the first step to earn that confidence.
Had Meuse been female, Judge Manzi would not have explicitly refused either to read the motion and memorandum or to hear argument solely because Meuse was not present in person.

 Rhine-Meuse delta studies
The upstream part of the Meuse drainage was captured by the Mosel during the Saalian glaciation.
At that time, both Rhine and Meuse flowed westward and discharged to the Atlantic Ocean via the Strait of Dover (in fact, this flow direction was already established during the Elsterian).
Since the influence of sealevel rise was felt earlier in the lower western part of the country, clayey and peaty floodbasin deposits on top of the sandy Pleistocene subsurface are younger in an eastern direction (Figure 12).

In 1366 the county of Loon became part of the Bishopric of Liège and remained so until the annexation by France in 1794.
Maastricht became the capital of the area that was then called the Department of the Lower Meuse.
After the defeat of Napoleon and the union with the Netherlands, the name Limburg was adopted, after the old county of Limburg which had never held power over Loon.

 Lorraine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
In 959 Bruno divided Lotharingia into two parts, the southern Upper Lorraine and the northern Lower Lorraine, with their boundary running from a point on the Rhine north of Andernach westward and southwestward to a point on the Meuse north of Mézières.
Lower Lorraine thus included most of the historic Netherlands belonging to the German kingdom between the Rhine, middle Meuse, and Schelde rivers, while Upper Lorraine included the Ardennes, the Moselle valley, and the upper Meuse valley.
By the early 12th century the duchy of Lower Lorraine was being rivaled by the growing countships of Limburg, Hainaut, Louvain, and Namur; and in 1190 the reigning duke dropped the title Duke of Lothier (i.e., Lower Lorraine) and took that of Duke of Brabant, as Henry I (d.

Its boundaries were uncertain for though the Meuse was on the west, the Rhine on the east, and the sea on the north, yet to the south it was completely exposed.
The northern part (Lower Lorraine), from the Ardennes to the sea, comprised the Archbishopric of Cologne with the Bishoprics of Utrecht and Liège.
The southern part, Upper Lorraine, or the Land of the Moselle, extended to the south-east of the Vosges and to the Sichelberg, with the Archbishopric of Trier and the Bishoprics of Metz, Toul, and Verdun.

In 39 and 38, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa was governor of Gaul, and fought a war on the east bank of the Rhine on behalf of the Ubians against the Suebians, a Germanic tribe that was notorious for its aggressiveness.
From this moment on, Germania Inferior was only a small province: a small stretch of land to the southwest of the Lower Rhine, with the country of the Frisians and Chauci as an appendix.

The source of the River Meuse is 410 metres above sea level on the Plateau de Langres (near Nancy) in France.
During the past two centuries, the Meuse has been subject to drastic human interventions: building of dams to make the river navigable, reinforcement of banks to prevent erosion, straightening of bends to facilitate river traffic and the flow of water.
The Border Meuse is that part of the river between Maastricht and Stevensweert.

Significant cities on the Meuse are Verdun, Sedan (where the Germans defeated France in 1870 and crossed the Meuse with Panzers in 1940), Namur, Liège (Luik in Dutch and Lüttich in German), and Maastricht.
Although it began as a Kingdom on equal footing with Burgundy and Italy, or, for that matter, with West Francia (France) and East Francia (Germany), Lorraine eventually lost this status and became a dependency of the Eastern Kingdom (900), albeit with the new elevated status of a Duchy, one of the Stem Duchies of Germany.
The Dauphiné was the heart of Lower Burgundy, and soon enough most of the rest followed, as Louis XI acquired Provence (1481) after the death of René the Good of Anjou (1480) in default of male heirs.

Because Montgomery's divisions were insufficient for this task the Supreme Commander assigned two corps from the First U.S. Army to move north in the direction of Antwerp and Ghent, this maneuver, in conjunction with the British, being intended to trap the retreating enemy in the vicinity of Mons.
These escarpments, the Argonne, the Meuse Heights, and the Moselle Plateau, all have gradual western slopes but drop abruptly on their eastern faces, presenting a difficult military approach from the east and affording the defender greater advantages if he faces to the east.
Since the Lorraine plateau narrows as it approaches its eastern terminus, hemmed in as it is by the middle and lower Vosges and the western German mountains, there is not enough room to accommodate a modern army in advance on a wide front.

Since the different communities along the Rhine and Meuse face more or less the same problems, it can be very much to their advantage to pool their knowledge of measures taken to fight or prevent high water levels.
Not only are dikes along the Upper and Lower Rhine in Germany being relocated, but supplementary projects are being executed aimed at water retention and creating water storage areas in the upstream stretches of tributaries as well as in the rest of the catchment area.

Two regiments of Hussars crossed the Meuse at the ford of Lixhe (close to the Dutch frontier), and thereupon the Belgian infantry posted at Visé were forced to fall back upon the line of the Meuse forts, or their left would have been turned.
The enemy was finally thrown back in disorder beyond his original positions; his attack upon the Vesdre Lower Meuse sector had miscarried.
Between the Ourthe and the Meuse the assaults of the Xth German Army Corps forced the defenders of the intervals between the forts to fall back; but the available elements of the 4th Division, sent from Huy, stemmed these assaults by counteroffensives.
