    14th centuryot only did territories become stronger and therefore morecapable of waging effecti!e war, we are also much betterinformed on this period due to the rising standards of localchronicles. This was a !ery !iolent period for e!ery part of theLow Countries, excluding perhaps -renthe, as se!eralterritories became in!ol!ed in the Hundred ears /ar. *uelders

    grew far stronger than pre!iously, and, despite a bloody ci!ilwar, managed to turn the tables and beat Brabant multiple

     particularly in )landers and Liege, turned rebellious, and in thewae of the Blac -eath the serf population of *uelders rose in

    re!olt.
