In Roman times Strasbourg was called Argentoratum and was an important city in the province of Upper Germany. It became an
episcopal see in the 4th cent. Destroyed by the Huns in the 5th cent., the city was rebuilt and called Strateburgum [city
of roadways]. After becoming part of the Holy Roman Empire in 923, Strasbourg, with the surrounding rural area, came under
the temporal rule of its bishops. Its location at the crossroads of Flanders, Italy, France, and central Europe made it an
important commercial center. In 1262, after some struggles with the bishops, the burghers secured the status of a free imperial
city for the city proper. An upheaval in 1332 established a corporate government in which the guilds played a leading role.
