English: After the death of Count William VI in 1417, the old struggle between the Hooks and the Cods broke out again. This time, the battle was about the succession: Jacoba of Bavaria, daughter of the deceased Count Willem Vl and her uncle, Jan of Bavaria, the son of Albrecht of Bavaria and the brother of Willem Vl. Jacoba of Bavaria was supported by the Hooks, Jan of Bavaria by the Cods. Jacoba hurried to Holland to be honoured as a countess by the Dutch cities. For ten years (1417-1427), the counties were overwhelmed by a new wave of violence. From the manual 1955: Of the persons, Jacoba of Bavaria and her mother are the first to draw attention. The young countess is now in her 17th year of life, self-confident, strong-willed, the all-important centre of the whole enterprise against the powerful coalition of the Cod. Both princesses wear the horned cap, a headdress closely associated with the hairstyle, which is covered with precious stones and gold galloon and wrapped in veils. The Countess and her mother are both, according to the requirements of the time, shod with shoes made of very supple and unhemmed leather. The man who controls this group, as he must also control the battle, is Walraven van Bredero. He is recognisable by the shoulder shield on his armour: gold with a red lion, which is covered by a blue 'barensteel'. Red and yellow feathering on the helmet and a red armorial skirt distinguish the commander. His standard stands out against the wall of the bastion. The corridor to the castle gate is secured by a squad, who are ready with crossbows at the ready to answer a surprising attack. A hand archer kneels in front of them. The arrow quiver of the archer bears the Bavarian colours. A herald, according to chivalric custom, on his 'clairon de guerre', adorned with the Bavarian-Hungarian banner, announces the start of the arms trade. Before Jacoba, a young nobleman - who replaces the page in the order of battle - carries the pennant of the princess. In front of her goes knight Aernt van Leyenburg. Later on, he will go to his opponent to propose a treaty. A monk, indispensable both in battle and in the council chamber, accompanies the procession. On both sides of the quay soudeniers have been drawn up.
