fol. 109v: Battle of Bruges (1382). The Battle of Bruges or Field of the Beaver Hats (‘Beverhoutsveld’) on 3 May 1382 saw the rout of the inhabitants of Bruges and of the troops of Louis, count of Flanders, at the hands of the White Hoods of Ghent, who pursued Louis’ men to the gates of Bruges itself. The Giac Master depicts the victors entering the town, leaving behind them a heap of bloodied corpses in plate armour and kettle hats.
