DEN HAAG - Why?

[duncan]

Anyone know why it has the name 'Den Haag' - the Hague?

I understood that it was a corruption of a word meaning "hedge". Why the question? Has the MBM rally decided to stay at home and do a pub quiz then?

Thanks Matt.

Reasons - 1. there at the moment (on land unfortunately) 2. question came up and 3. bet someone that a posting on this board would deliver a response as well as any encylopedia.
