Carnival in Flanders
La Kermesse héroïque
The Spanish soldiers were not as ruthless as they were depicted.
When the village of Boom, in Flanders, learns a Spanish Duke and his troops plan to pass the night, the 4-man army deserts and the Mayor plays dead; so the Mayor's wife organizes the townswomen to greet the invaders and preserve the peace with womanly wiles.
