Editing Woluwe-Saint-Pierre (section)

===Middle Ages to 17th century===
The first appearance of the name ''Wolewe'' dates from 1117 and can be found in a charter from [[Forest, Belgium|Forest]]. At that time, the original hamlet and its farms were dependencies of the [[Park Abbey]] near [[Leuven]]. The onset of difficulties can be traced to the middle of the 16th century, with the hostilities waged by King [[Philip II of Spain]] against the heretical [[Protestants]] and the ensuing poverty and famine took their toll on the entire population. Safety and prosperity returned under the reigns of Archdukes [[Albert VII, Archduke of Austria|Albert VII]] and [[Isabella Clara Eugenia|Isabella]] at the beginning of the 17th century. The first grand alley linking [[Tervuren]] to [[Brussels]], then known as the "Street of the Duke", dates from that period.
