〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sint-oedenrode - Toerisme )〕 Sint-Oedenrode is a moderately urbanized city and capital of the municipality of the same name in the province of North Brabant. The city is located in the Meierij of 's-Hertogenbosch. Sint-Oedenrode counts 17,928 inhabitants (August 1, 2013, source: CBS) and has an area of 64.25 km². 〔ROOIJ, W. VAN E.A., 750 Jaar Stadsrechten Sint-Oedenrode in 1982..〕 The municipality has traditionally city rights since 1232, and was known as a "Vlek" (market town) in the past. Today it is still a large town. From southeast to northwest, the city is split by the river the Dommel. ==The origin of the name 'Sint-Oedenrode'== ''The following story is based on a popular belief (saga)'' 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Oda (eind 7e-1ste helft 8e eeuw) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Geschiedenis )〕 According to legend, Sint-Oedenrode owes its name to Saint Oda. The saga goes as followed: This woman was a mythical blind born Scottish, possibly Irish, daughter of king Eugenius VII, who around the year 700, along with a servant was sent on a pilgrimage on the mainland by her father. Oda was miracilously cured from her blindness after she visited the tomb of Saint Lambert of Maastricht in Liège. She decided she wanted to devote her life to the christian god and become a nun. She returned to her father who had decided a husband for her. Oda did not wish to marry as was her father's wish. In a desperate attempt of not marrying, she decided to flee to the mainland. She started to travel from one place to another, wherever she could find silence for worshipping. Time on time she was disrupted in her worshipping by magpies, and she fled from the birds. Eventually she arrived in Toxandria (Austrasia) in a little settlement called Rode (old Dutch word for a man made open place in the woods), where the villagers built her a hut on the heath and she settled as a hermit. After she died in 726 A.D. the villagers were getting pilgrims from the entire region, and started to call the place Sint-Oda's-Rode, which became Sint-Oedenrode in present day speaking.〔http://www.g-geschiedenis.eu/2012/11/27/27-november-oda-van-sint-oedenrode/〕〔http://www.historici.nl/Onderzoek/Projecten/DVN/lemmata/data/Oda〕〔http://www.schutterijstoda.com/geschiedenis.html〕〔http://resources.huygens.knaw.nl/vrouwenlexicon/lemmata/data/Oda〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「History of Sint-Oedenrode」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
