EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 15th-century print, Witte van Haamstede, the bastard son of Graaf Floris V of Holland, is warmly welcomed as the new lord of Haamstede. The historical event depicted in this image took place in 1303, during a tumultuous period in the Netherlands' history. Graaf Floris V, also known as Floris the Fat, was a controversial figure in Dutch history. Known for his extravagant lifestyle and his many illegitimate children, Floris was a complex character who ruled the County of Holland from 1296 until his assassination in 1304. Among his many offspring was Witte van Haamstede, who was born out of Floris' affair with a noblewoman named Alijt van Beest. Despite his illegitimate birth, Witte was recognized by his father and granted the lordship of Haamstede, a small but strategically important territory in the province of Zeeland. This print captures the moment of Witte's arrival at Haamstede, where he is greeted by a crowd of townspeople and nobles. The image shows Witte on horseback, dressed in the robes of a lord, with his arms raised in a gesture of submission and acceptance. The townspeople, depicted in the foreground, cheer and wave banners in his honor, while the nobles in the background look on approvingly. The print, which is held in the collections of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a testament to the complex and often tumultuous history of the Netherlands in the late Middle Ages. It offers a glimpse into the world of medieval politics and the role that illegitimate offspring could play in the power structures of the time. The image also underscores the importance of family ties and alliances in a world where power was often passed down through bloodlines rather than merit or ability. Overall, this print is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the lives of the people who shaped the Netherlands' history.
