Valuas (folklore)

Bructer Valuas (in short:Valuas) is the name of a legendary chief of the Bructeri, exclusively known from a Venlo folklore tale. The name might be a corruption of Goliath.
== Background story ==
According to the legend, the city of Venlo were to be founded in the year 96 A.D. by this chief. After being defeated by the neighbouring tribe of the Chamavi in the Teutoburg Forest, Valuas and his trustees fled in southwest direction to a fertile region near the river Meuse, as noted by Publius Cornelius Tacitus. There the remaining Bructeri built a settlement he then called ''Venloë'', which, according to the legend, means ''height in the swamp''.〔(Etymologie Venlo op DbNL )〕
After their death, in honor of the chief and his wife Guntrud large wooden statues were made, which were placed on a nearby hill. Their followers, the people of Venlo, let a fire burn for a long time inside these statues. To this use the hill owes its present name ‘’Lichtenberg’’.
