History

The village of Hon existed in the 9th century and then became famous for the adulterous loves of Lothaire II, king of Lorraine, nephew of Charles-le-Chauve. In 862, Lothaire II, great-grandson of Charlemagne and king of Lotharingia, donated the stronghold of Canteraine to the abbey of Lobbes. In 1678, by the Treaty of Nijmegen, Louis XIV obtained that all the villages of the provost of Bavay, until then included in the Spanish Netherlands, be attached to his kingdom. In 1790, Hon and Hergies merged to become Hon-Hergies.
