| Summary | "Histoire de Flandre (T. 2/4)" by Kervyn de Lettenhove is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the struggles of the Flemish communes during the early 14th century, spotlighting key figures like Pierre Coning and Jean Breydel as they resist the oppressive reign of the French crown. The book delves into significant events such as the battle of Courtray and the revolt against foreign domination, offering readers a detailed exploration of this pivotal period in Flemish history. The opening of the book sets the stage for the intense socio-political climate in Flanders around 1301-1304, highlighting the burgeoning unrest amongst the Flemish bourgeoisie as they confront the tyranny of their French overlords. Pierre Coning emerges as a pivotal character leading resistance efforts, rallying workers and guild members against oppressive magistrates, while the narrative outlines the various battles fought, including the notable confrontation at Courtray. The text vividly portrays the mounting tensions, illustrating both the fervent spirit of the Flemish people and the lengths to which they go to reclaim their rights and freedoms in the face of escalating conflict and oppression.
