The 2009 Ommegang Brussels (Brussel), Belgium - Page 6 - Photos By Luc De Jaeger

The Ommegang is an annual pageant in Brussels, capital of Belgium, celebrating the glorious and majestic procession on June 2, 1549 of Charles V (Quint) (Keizer Karel V) in Brussels. The pageant takes place on the first Thursday of July and the preceding Tuesday. The pageant is accompanied by many medieval events (like combating knights in authentic plate armor), most of which take place in the medieval village situated at the Place du Grand Sablon (Grote Zavel). The pageant ends at the Grand Place on which takes place a very colorful traditional/medieval show starting around dusk.

Luc De Jaeger > Knights in real plate armour and with real iron swords combating. Impressive to hear the sound of the crossing swords and the swords touching the body harness. A knight is floored and kept under guard with a sword. At times the fights were very rude! It's all part of the events happening in the medieval village at the Place du Grand Sablon (Zavel) in Brussels, Belgium, during the Ommegang festivities.
