GM! The ruins of Saint Bavo's Abbey, Belgium.
After the 1539 Revolt of Ghent, Charles V obliged the city's nobles to walk in front of him barefoot with a noose around the neck; since this incident, the people of Ghent have been called "Stroppendragers" (noose bearers). Saint Bavo Abbey, which was the oldest abbey in Ghent, was abolished, torn down, and replaced with a fortress for Royal Spanish troops. Only a small portion of the abbey was spared demolition.
