I've never read/seen the Leeuw Van Vlaanderen, but I have, ironically, heard of its historic inaccuracy. *g*
Also, yeah, different Flanders, otherwise East-Flanders wouldn't make sense at all, would it? *g* I just meant to say -- I didn't think it had anything to do with Wallony, or were they occupied and freed at the time, as well? o_O
Gah, I really wish I knew more about Belgium before it ever existed, but it's, apparently, such a confusing story (which I assume is the reason they never told us anything about it at school, pff). And it's difficult to find a book that doesn't send you into a coma after the first two pages. *g*
