The medieval village of Ename is at its largest extent and contains over 70 farms. The economy is thriving in a period of peace and stability. But shortly after, mayor changes take place. Protestantism and major inflation (caused by the inflow of Inca gold and mined silver from South-America) result in revolt and civil war, in which many religious buildings, including the Ename abbey, get destroyed.
