Nassauday, Breda 6 June 2010

GeA-educatie took part in 'de Blijde Incomste'

Results of the photocompetition

The first edition attracted many visitors and generated colorful  press releases

In 1406 Duke Engelbrecht of Nassau (left side in picture) arrived in Breda

with his young bride Johanna of Polanen

Johanna's beautifully painted gilded belt-clip

The event settled a rich tradition

Mayor van de Velden (left side in the picture)

welcomed the Nassaus in traditional costume

Johanna's jester seeked contact with her white horse...

...who answered in a positive manner

From allover people came to Breda

to catch a glimpse of glory or to pick a grain

There was no absolution...

...for the heretic and the witch

Their destiny was not very enviable

and effectively deterrent

The Blijde Incomste attracted many noblemen to the city...

...and so will it be forever!
