Editing Jette (section)

===Origins to Middle Ages===
[[Neolithic]] tools and remains of a [[Gallo-Roman]] [[Roman villa|villa]] have been found on the territory of Jette, proving the old age of the first settlements in this area. The fact that its first church was dedicated to Saint [[Saint Peter|Peter]] also indicates early [[Christianisation]]. During the [[Middle Ages]], parts of the territory were [[feudal]] dependencies of the [[Duchy of Brabant]]. Under the duke's protection, [[Dieleghem Abbey]] was founded in 1095 by the [[Bishop of Cambrai]] and administered by [[Augustinians|Augustinian]] [[canon (priest)|canon]]s. In 1140, the Abbey's monks switched to the rules of the [[Premonstratensian]] order. In the 13th century, the Abbey possessed half of the municipality's territory and played an important social and economic role until the [[French Revolution]].
