CHARLES V AND Vie pratique THE THREE AUVERGNATS


Under the Tourisme already overwhelming heat, three ironmongers Nos villages were travelling towards Beaumont one morning Beaumont live in August 1549. They intended Economie-Emploi to take advantage of the duty-free Centre de téléchargement fair to trade their know-how belgique and to re-coat some frying commune de Beaumont pans, pots and basins.

But they were vie administratif not good tempered, these Auvergnats. Vie politique Grumbling about their gears which were Vie pratique so heavy that one would Tourisme believe Belzébuth was inside them, they Nos villages carried them on their bruised Beaumont live shoulders from their village of Economie-Emploi Salers across the undulating countryside of Centre de téléchargement Artois and Hainaut.

Cursing that sloping belgique road with steep paths, which commune de Beaumont resembled their mountains in Auvergne too vie administratif much, they were also cursing Vie politique the beer which changed the Vie pratique evening parties into painful mornings.

It was Tourisme too much, Beaumont and its Nos villages duty-free fair could wait. For Beaumont live sure, the gilded eagle on top Economie-Emploi of its pole made of Centre de téléchargement oak would already be put belgique up on the main square to commune de Beaumont mark the beginning of the vie administratif festivities. It was necessary for Vie politique them to have a rest.

Not hurried Vie pratique at all, they uncorked another Tourisme bottle of that odd Flemish Nos villages lambic beer or that pale barley Beaumont live beer with hop perfume. However, Economie-Emploi they were already catching sight of Centre de téléchargement the silver mouth standards floating belgique above the city ramparts.

Two or three commune de Beaumont more miles and suffering would vie administratif be over. They were clinking glasses Vie politique when a rider passed them. Vie pratique He had great presence. Undoubtedly, Tourisme his pace and clothes disclosed that Nos villages he had to be a Beaumont live bourgeois who was attracted by Economie-Emploi the fair as they were too.

"Oh, Centre de téléchargement my great lord! Will you belgique feel pity for three miserable commune de Beaumont sweating hawkers with lots of blisters vie administratif on their feet?"

In front of Vie politique the three men slumped to Vie pratique the ground with a bottle Tourisme in their hands, the rider could Nos villages not help laughing.

"Hey you, kinglet, Beaumont live whether you like it or Economie-Emploi not, you will be capable Centre de téléchargement of helping us!"

As quick as lightning, belgique they pounced on him, seized commune de Beaumont the bridle of his horse and vie administratif the unfortunate rider fell down Vie politique and rolled in the dust. Vie pratique Being threatened by a blade, the Tourisme rider had to withstand a Nos villages hot full of rags and Beaumont live tools, the horse being loaded with Economie-Emploi the remaining material.

"Move forward, coxcomb Centre de téléchargement ! This evening in Beaumont, belgique you are invited in a local commune de Beaumont inn", the three men burst vie administratif out laughing at the sight Vie politique of their obedient victim.

The quartet was Vie pratique in sight of Beaumont. When Tourisme they reached the Saulchoy gate, everything Nos villages changed.

The man stood up straight, Beaumont live threw its burden by the Economie-Emploi feet of the three crooks and Centre de téléchargement hailed the Bourgeois militia:

"Captain, help! belgique help! Capture these good-for-nothings. They commune de Beaumont committed towards me the crime of vie administratif lese-majesty. Tie them up and Vie politique bring them to the Provost in Vie pratique order that he should dispense Tourisme justice !"

The three men showed Nos villages a fixed attitude. They had Beaumont live just manhandled his Majesty Charles V Economie-Emploi in person! Our beloved Emperor Centre de téléchargement had come to visit the belgique Northern Provinces to introduce his son commune de Beaumont Philippe son as his successor.

The vie administratif halberdiers rushed onto the hawkers Vie politique who were immediately tied up Vie pratique as the sausage that they had Tourisme started eating not long before. Nos villages The twelve strokes of noon sounded Beaumont live in the bell-tower.

While the Duke Economie-Emploi of Croÿ was convening the Centre de téléchargement Mayor and the seven jurymen, belgique the Provost, the Lieutenant-provost, the news commune de Beaumont of the arrest spread throughout vie administratif the city like wildfire and everyone Vie politique gathered on the market place Vie pratique to attend the judgement of the Tourisme Great Bailiff of Hainaut.

Craftsmen and Nos villages bourgeois, priests and beguines, the Beaumont live Oaths of the cunners of the Economie-Emploi Martyr of Saint-Lawrence, Crossbowmen of Centre de téléchargement Saint-Georges, Archers of Saint-Sebastian, noblemen and belgique yokel of the region and commune de Beaumont also all the imperial retinue, all vie administratif gathered on the main square.

Attached Vie politique to the yoke of the Vie pratique green bench, under the cross Tourisme of justice, the Auvergnats heard the Nos villages irrevocable sentence pronounced by the Beaumont live Provost :

"For having committed this Economie-Emploi odious crime of lese-majesty towards Centre de téléchargement our beloved sovereign, Emperor of Germany, belgique Prince of the Netherlands and commune de Beaumont King of Spain, these Auvergnats, villains, vie administratif scoundrels, rabbles, rogues and servants Vie politique of this rabble, King of France, Vie pratique will be hanged."

"Their bodies will Tourisme be thrown to the ravens Nos villages and dogs when they have Beaumont live finished rotting away near the gibbet."

Under Economie-Emploi the cheering crowd, the three Centre de téléchargement sergeants of the provostship hurried belgique up to drag the unfortunate Auvergnats commune de Beaumont towards the gallows.

The one o'clock vie administratif stroke sounded in the bell-tower. Vie politique On top of his ladder, before Vie pratique rocking into empty space, one Tourisme of them pronounced this dreadful phrase:


"Town of Beaumont,

Town of misfortune,

Arrived Beaumont live at noon,

Will be hanged soon."
