Nijmegen was one of the many towns and cities in the Netherlands that were liberated by Canadian troops in the dying months of the Thousand-Year Reich.
Nijmegen began life as a Roman garrison town, occasionally housed Charlemagne as he roamed around his expanding empire, drew the attention of the Emperor Frederick Barbarossa (Redbeard) so that he built a famous castle on the site, and became in the thirteenth century a free German imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire.
In time, Nijmegen became a fully walled city, a market centre of prominence, and the location for the famous peace negotiations that culminated in the Treaty of Nijmegen in 1676.
