The name of an Indian village found by Cartier on the site of
the present city of Montreal. An extensive region of
surrounding country seems to have likewise borne the name
Hochelaga, and Cartier calls the river St. Lawrence "the river
of Hochelaga," or "the great river of Canada."

HOHENZOLLERN:
Rise of the House of.
"Hohenzollern lies far south in Schwaben (Suabia), on the
sunward slope of the Rauhe-Alp Country; no great way north
from Constance and its Lake; but well aloft, near the springs
of the Danube; its back leaning on the Black Forest; it is
perhaps definable as the southern summit of that same huge old
Hercynian Wood, which is still called the Schwarzwald (Black
Forest), though now comparatively bare of trees. Fanciful
Dryasdust, doing a little etymology, will tell you the name
'Zollern' is equivalent to 'Tollery' or Place of Tolls.
Whereby Hohenzollern' comes to mean the 'High' or Upper
'Tollery';—and gives one the notion of antique pedlars
climbing painfully, out of Italy and the Swiss valleys, thus
far; unstrapping their packhorses here, and chaffering in
unknown dialect about 'toll.' Poor souls;—it may be so, but
we do not know, nor shall it concern us. This only is known:
That a human kindred, probably of some talent for coercing
anarchy and guiding mankind, had, centuries ago, built its
'Burg' there, and done that function in a small but creditable
way ever since."
_T. Carlyle,
Frederick the Great,
book 2, chapter 5._
"The title, Count of Zollern, was conferred by Henry IV. in
the eleventh century. … In 1190 Henry VI. appointed the
Count of Zollern to the imperial office of Burgrave of
Nuremberg. By fortunate marriages and prudent purchases, his
descendants, who retained the office, gradually acquired
extensive estates in Franconia, Moravia, and Burgundy, and
their wisdom and growing power steadily increased their weight
in the councils of the German princes. … Frederick VI. was
enriched by Sigismund with large gifts of money, and was made
his deputy in Brandenburg in 1411. The marches were in utter
confusion, under the feuds and ravages of the unrestrained
knighthood. Frederick reduced them to order, and at the
Council of Constance, in 1417, received from Sigismund the
margraviate of Brandenburg with the dignity of Elector."
