In the 1st century BC, the region later known as Brabant was occupied by the Romans. It became a possession of the Franks in the 5th century AD, but with the disintegration of the Frankish Empire in the 9th century it was included first in the duchy of Lorraine and later in the duchy of Lower Lorraine. By 1190 -- when the region became the duchy of Brabant -- Brussels, Antwerp, Louvain, and other cities and towns of the region were prosperous centers of trade. Textile industries and other commercial activities flourished, and, because revenues from the cities financed the ducal expenditures, the towns and cities were granted a large share of the government of the duchy.
