Summary

Description
Nederlands: het standbeeld van Jan Breydel en Pieter de Coninck, de twee lokale volkshelden die in 1302 een grote rol speelden in het Vlaamse verzet tegen de Franse koning, met de Guldensporenslag tot gevolg. Het standbeeld werd opgericht in 1887, de periode van het historisch romantisme. Door de wrijvingen tussen het Vlaamsgezinde Breydelcomité en het Franstalige stadsbestuur is het standbeeld twee keer ingehuldigd geweest: op 11 juli 1887 en tussen 14 en 22 augustus 1887.
English: In the center of the market square of Bruges stands the statue of Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck, who led the Bruges Matins in May 1302. Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck have often been portrayed as patriotic heroes in Belgium because of their passion for Flemish identity. They were both present at the Battle of the Golden Spurs, where a Flemish makeshift army and a motley alliance of Flemish and Namur petty nobles defeated the French army under the command of Robert II of Artois.
