In the northern part of France, close to the border with the Netherlands, lies the small town of Arras (population about 40,000). It is the capital of the Pas-de-Calais region. First settled by a Gaul tribe, it became a Roman garrison called Atrebatum, but not before the local population had fought valiantly beside Vercingetorix and was among the last to be subdued by Julius Caesar. The province of Artois where it lied was frequently disputed between the French and the Dutch, ended up in French hands in the 17th century, but kept its strong trade links with Flanders. An important document was signed there in January 1579: the Union of Atrecht (Atrecht was the Dutch name of Arras), by which several of the Low Countries pledged allegiance to the Spanish king and Catholicism, while the remaining states formed the Union of Utrecht later the same month, renouncing the Habsburg rule and opting to profess Protestantism.
