Description

Schrijver Conscience populariseerde de Guldensporenslag in 1838 in zijn magnum opus De Leeuw van Vlaanderen. De 'man die zijn volk leerde lezen' nam echter een stevig loopje met de waarheid. Conscience had het over tienduizenden soldaten aan het Groeningeveld. In werkelijkheid stonden ongeveer 8.000 Vlamingen tegenover ongeveer evenveel, zij het veel beter bewapende, Franse soldaten. Ook bij die 'Vlaamse' troepenmacht moeten de nodige kanttekeningen worden geplaatst: opperbevelhebber Jan Van Renesse was een Zeeuw, de belangrijkste andere leider was Gwijde van Namen uit - what's in a name - Namen. Robert van Bethune, de 'Leeuw van Vlaanderen' uit Consciences roman, was op 11 juli 1302 in geen velden of wegen te bekennen op het slagveld.
