Gouden Daden by Cornelis Johannes Kieviet
"Gouden Daden" by Cornelis Johannes Kieviet is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book vividly describes the turbulent times of the late 15th century, particularly focusing on the conflict between the Hoeks and the Kabeljauws factions in the Low Countries during a period marked by warfare and political intrigue. Central to the story is Jan van Schaffelaar, a courageous knight whose leadership and valor are tested as he
leads his band of riders into a fierce battle for control over the town of Barneveld. The opening of the novel introduces readers to the historical setting of 1482, where a small group of heavily armed riders, led by the formidable Jan van Schaffelaar, gallops toward Barneveld. As tensions rise, the narrative captures the initial thrill of their charge into battle against the occupying enemy forces, leading to a tragic yet valiant defense as they become surrounded. The chapter sets a dramatic tone, illustrating the fierce loyalties and dire circumstances faced by Van Schaffelaar and his men as they navigate the brutal realities of war, showcasing themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the fight for honor in a chaotic world.
