| Abstract: | Some 500 years ago, the family of Thurn & Taxis, or de Tour et Tassis, as they were known then, originated the postal services of Western Europe. The seat of their organisation was in Brussels, then the Capital of the Southern Netherlands, whence Francois de Tassis established a network of postal services to many towns in the Western European Countries. |
