This TV miniseries is based on the book “La légende et les aventures héroïques, joyeuses et glorieuses d’Ulenspiegel et de Lamme Goedzak au pays de Flandres et ailleurs”, by belgian XIX century author Charles de Coaster, which, in turn is based on the popular German renaissance text “Ein kurzweiliges Buch von Till Eulenspiegel aus dem Lande Braunschweig”, by Hermann Bote. The story is set at the time of religious wars and turmoils following the protestant reformation and the hero fights for the freedom of his country from Spanish occupation and from the holy inquisition. The fist parts of the film are devoted to showing the atmosphere of oppression in the Netherlands at the time, with people being reported to the inquisition by envious neighbors and burned at the stake on flimsy excuses, when the real goal is for the king to get hold of their riches.Read More »
