1302: Uprising in Flanders Guldensporens

* The story of the battle that is commemorated in 2002 * Exciting and historically correct retold On 11 July 1302, an army of Flemish militia defeated the French knightly army on the Groeningekouter near Kortrijk. In the 19th century, this battle developed into one of the most important symbols of the Flemish struggle in the romantic spirit of everyone who worked for Flemish emancipation. Later, various authors emphasized that 1302 must have been primarily a class struggle. Today, this symbolic struggle has largely lost its explosive content. In 1302 - Opstand in Vlaanderen, military historian Prof. Dr. JF Verbruggen and historian and journalist Rolf Falter concentrate on the story of the Battle of the Golden Spurs itself. The book tells in an exciting way the historically completely correct story of what happened in the run-up to that eleventh of July and about the battle itself. In 2002, the Battle of the Golden Spurs will have been 700 years ago.
