About This Item

Belgium Flag Kiekefretter microcoin

The owner was born in Brussels, capital of Belgium, just one block from the Grand Place - the Market Place at the center of the city. His nickname "kiekefretter" has been given to the inhabitants of Brussels since the 14th century. It means "chicken eater". In the 14th century the merchants of the duchy of Brabant travelling in the region of the Rhine River were regularly attacked by brigands with the blessing of the duke of Julich. Wenceslas de Luxembourg, duke of Brabant, organized a punitive expedition with 8,000 knights from Brussels loaded with food and hundreds of chichens. During the battle, burdened with all that food, the knights were not able to properly maneuver their horses and were defeated. Since that time the inhabitants of Brussels have been called "chicken eater" or kiekefretters.
