Excerpt from A March on London: Being a Story of Wat Tyler's Insurrection The troubles in Flanders are of interest to Englishmen, since there was for many years an alliance, more or less close, between our king and some of the great Flemish cities. In deed, from the time when the first Von Artevelde was mur dered because he proposed that the Black Prince should be accepted as ruler of Flanders, to the day upon which Napole on's power was broken forever at Waterloo, Flanders has been the theatre of almost incessant turmoil and strife, in which Germans and Dutchmen, Spaniards, Englishmen, and F rench men have fought out their quarrels.
