During the Middle Ages, herring prompted the founding of [[Great Yarmouth]] and [[Copenhagen]] and played a critical role in the medieval development of [[Amsterdam]].<ref>{{cite book|last1=Hunt|first1=Kathy|title=Herring A Global History|date=2017|publisher=Reaktion Books Ltd.|isbn=978-1-78023-831-9|page=7}}</ref> In 1274, while on his deathbed at the monastery of [[Fossanova Abbey|Fossanova]] (south of Rome, Italy), when encouraged to eat something to regain his strength, [[Thomas Aquinas]] asked for fresh herring.<ref>[https://archive.org/stream/fontesvitaesthom00pr#page/332/mode/2up Process of Canonization of St. Thomas Aquinas, Testimony of Br.
