The famous blazoenfeest, performances of verse and songs by Rhetorician Chambers, which took place at Mechelen in the Southern Netherlands on the eve of the close of the 12-year truce that interrupted the Dutch rebellion against the Spanish Crown, was to a large extent organized by Jan Thieullier, who was also the author of the tragedy that constitutes an integral second part of this finely illustrated book with which he immortalized the event.
