]]> Comment on I Wanted So Badly To Break All The Rules And Jump Over The Barrier… by reservebelg http://kiwidutch.wordpress.com/2013/05/20/new-1104/#comment-13235 Wed, 22 May 2013 12:19:07 +0000 http://kiwidutch.wordpress.com/?p=40082#comment-13235 The Order of the Golden Fleece is an order of chivalry founded in 1430. Today there exist two branches of the Order: the Spanish and the Austrian Fleece. Beatrix is a member.The order held regular meetings.
See http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordre_de_la_Toison_d%27or

In 1491 the meeting was held at Mechelen. At that time the number of knights was limited to 30. I assume that the heraldic shields are from those members.

Some search terms:
Dutch: Gulden Vies, wapenschild.
French: Ordre de la Toison d’Or, Malines (Mechelen)
English: Golden Fleece

When I am in church, I marvel at the beauty of its incredible windows which were done many years ago. It would be hard to duplicate them today.

It’s a great shame there was not more light available due to the horrible weather, and that I didn’t have a tripod with me to make some less crooked shots. Oh well, we do our best at the time.I’m delighted that you like them.

Yes of course, the ladies don’t have combs do they? Clearly if zoology had been a course at school I would have failed. (red face here).
…Was he henpecked and running away from the ladies at home? is the very last row of a row of tulpen the chicken equivalent of a “man shed”? Clandestine meeting with a hen from the neighbouring farm mayhap? Are the best worms to be found at the end of the cultivated plot?
Only the Rooster knows…
