About This Item

BRABO

Een 15e eeuwse sage vertelt dat in het land van de Schelde omstreeks het begin van onze tijdrekening een reus, Druon Antigoon, heerste, die van elke schipper een zware tol eiste. Wanneer deze weigerde te betalen, werd hem de hand afgehakt. Een Romeinse krijger, Silvius Brabo, bevocht, overwon en doodde de reus, hakte zijn hand af en wierp hem in de Schelde. Het bevrijde volk noemde de stad Antwerpen (van handwerpen).

According to folklore, and as celebrated by the statue in front of the town hall, the city got its name from a legend involving a mythical giant calledAntigoon who lived near the river Scheldt. He exacted a toll from those crossing the river, and for those who refused, he severed one of their hands and threw it into the river Scheldt. Eventually, the giant was slain by a young hero named Brabo, who cut off the giant's own hand and flung it into the river. Hence the name Antwerpen, from Dutch hand werpen – akin to Old English hand and wearpan (= to throw), which has changed to today's warp.
