History
Merovingian and Carolingian golden age
The name Herstal is of Franconian origin, consisting of the elements hari and stal . The first mention of Herstal is in Latin documents from ±718 and 723 . The first possibly non-Latinized occurrences are Eristail and Harstail .[2][3]
-
Pippin of Herstal , Mayor of the Palace and de facto ruler of Austrasia and Neustria and founder of the family that established the Carolingian dynasty, probably chose this location as his main residence because of its proximity to the major cities of Tongeren, Maastricht, and Liège. Pippin was the father of Charles Martel, victor of the decisive Battle of Tours that stopped the Arab-Muslim advance into northwestern Europe, and great grandfather of Charlemagne, also supposedly born in Herstal. Charlemagne lived for at least fifteen years in Herstal but later established his capital in Aachen, ending Herstal's period of medieval glory as capital of the empire.
