Fulco De Minstreel: Een Historisch Verhaal Uit Den Tijd Van Graaf Jan I Voor Jongelieden

Three horsemen ride through a sweltering August night toward the castle of Heukelom, their silhouettes cutting through the gathering dark. Gijsbrecht, a knight of reputation and steel, leads with noble purpose. Jan, his squire, dreams of earning his spurs and becoming a knight in truth. And Fulco, the minstrel, masks a courageous spirit behind wit and song. They ride into an age of noble conflicts and courtly intrigue, when honor is measured in blade and blood, and the cry for help can shatter any peaceful evening. Cornelis Johannes Kieviet, himself a teacher who understood young readers, crafted this adventure to thrill and educate in equal measure. The year is the late 13th century, the era of Count Jan I, and the Low Countries seethe with political tension. What begins as a journey toward castle walls becomes a test of loyalty, bravery, and the bonds that form between men of different standing when danger strikes. This is old-fashioned adventure storytelling at its finest: swords are drawn, damsels need rescuing, and courage matters. Perfect for readers who want to step into a world where a minstrel's voice can be as deadly as a knight's lance, and where the path to knighthood runs through danger.
