JanvanSchaffelaar 01
My entry for SummerJoust 2023 "The Heroic Duel".
It's based on the Dutch Legend about Jan van Schaffelaar. (Mid 15th century). He was a mercenary who took a tower in Barneveld with his men. However, the enemies came, threatening to destroy the tower. The only way to prevent this was for Jan van Schaffelaar to jump down. Then his men would be allowed to go free.
The moment in my MOC is the moment of the duel in his head. Fight on, or jump down? Die with his men, or die for his men,
To jump or not to jump?
(For the connoisseurs of Dutch history: I briefly detached the tower from the church and the manner of destruction is also my own interpretation)
