Summary "Uit Ouden Tijd" by Pieter Louwerse is a historical narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The book sets the stage for a blend of adventure and historical reflection, centered around a young count, Jan, who navigates the complexities of his lineage, the expectations of his peers, and the violent world of medieval politics. The backdrop includes significant historical events such as the assassination of his father, Count Floris V, and the looming threat of a ferocious wolf terrorizing the local populace. The opening of the story unfolds in June 1297 at the count's hunting lodge in 'Die Haghe', where a great throng gathers in anticipation of a grand hunt against the dreaded wolf. Amid the hustle and bustle, we meet Jonker Witte, the noble son of the slain Floris, who has a contentious relationship with his half-brother Jan, now the count. Tensions run high as Witte’s loyalty to the people contrasts sharply with Jan's dependence on foreign allies and the English court. The narrative hints at a brewing conflict as Witte departs unexpectedly, setting the stage for both personal and political drama that will impact Jan and the fate of Holland, Zeeland, and West Friesland.
