This set and the next one are based on a photograph of two medieval towers, situated on opposite sides of a river and connected by a bridge. The photo comes from the Belgian city of Kortrijk, in the Flanders region—known in French as Courtray. The city is famous for a medieval battle, the "Battle of the Golden Spurs" (1302), in which a force of Flemish peasants and merchants emerged victorious against an army of knights sent by the French King, Philip the Fair. They lured the knights into the marshes, gaining the upper hand against the French, whose mobility was severely restricted. The victors took the golden spurs from the fallen knights as trophies—hence the name of the battle. Furthermore, the city is the inspiration for my nickname, and it was high time I showed some appreciation, given that I’ve been using the city’s name for years! 😄😇 I have modified the original image—from which both sets are derived—by placing it within a medieval context, and I’ve included it as the final image in this set 1 for the sake of clarity.
