This sermon was quite important, since it addressed several events the city of Bruges underwent in the last year: plague, famine and war. Bischop De Quinckere tried to wake up the population of Bruges to get rid of their sins and repenting for their previous life. The sermon also instigated the rise of the Discalced Carmelites in the city, but unfortunately also the last great witch hunt in Bruges.

Eustache was a nobleman in Boulogne, northern France, who started his life as a priest and a monk, but left the monastery after the death of his father. Gradually he turned into a notorious pirat king, making the Channel and the North Sea a dangerous place for anyone trying to cross it.

Althought more often seen as a social conflict, the battle and the war were started because of political motives by Philip IV of France. The outcome of the battle thus also had a political impact, but was important too from a military point of view. The battle can also be seen as part of a wider conflict and several uprisings in Europe, such as the First War of Scottish Independence and the Battles of the Old Swiss Confederacy.

What started as a small favor towards the city of Bruges in the 17th century , has had consequences for maritime law in the 20th century, and maybe it even will have an impact in the 21st century.

But here these events are regarded in the background of the different conflicts and wars between the Frankish kingdoms after the death of Louis I The Pious. With Baldwin's abduction of Judith, daughter of Charles The Bald of West-Francia, he directly interferes in the dynastic conflicts within the Frankish Empire, and forges alliances with several key players in those times. Through a short analysis it seems that Baldwin had higher ambitions than just creating a county for himself and establishing a dynasty.

The story has been interpreted by Jan Corteel in 1983 who concluded the story took place in Antwerp. However, several indications in the story show that although Antwerp is featured in the story, the protagonists actually travel through several places in Belgium. This paper tries to identify the locations in the story and try to explain why these places are chosen by the Englis author of 'A Dog of Flanders'.
