Fulco de Minstreel: Een historisch verhaal uit den tijd van Graaf Jan I voor jongelieden

A scorching August evening in 1297 finds three riders thundering along a dusty road toward the imposing castle of Heukelom. The foremost horsemen are clad in glittering silk, jeweled belts and polished armor, while the third rides in humble, dust‑covered garb, his breath barely steady beneath the swirling cloud of road‑dust. Their destination promises a gathering of nobles and soldiers, setting the stage for a tale of medieval honor and youthful bravery.

At the center of the procession rides a striking young knight, his golden curls peeking from a ruby‑trimmed cap, a sapphire‑blue mantle swirling around his shoulders, and a sword set with precious stones at his hip. Known throughout the county for his daring in the recent siege of Kroonenburg, he balances fierce battlefield courage with a gentle concern for the poor and widowed. Listeners will be drawn into his world of chivalry, loyalty, and the challenges that await a rising hero in a land still echoing with the aftermath of a monarch’s murder.
