@0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange But I've always wondered, why is it THE Hague? What is a Hague?

@lhauser@mefi.social @0xabad1dea@infosec.exchange a "Hague" is a well maintained hedge. But "Den Haag"/"The Hague" is colloquial. The town's real name is "'s Gravenhage", which basically means something along the lines of "the park of the earl" - or to be more precise "the hedges which surround the earl's hunting grounds".
