In 1568, Philips van Montmorency or Philips van Horne, as we shall call the Count, was beheaded together with the Count of Egmont on the Grand-Place in Brussels. 450 years later, the City Guides of Weert present a walk along places reminiscent of this turbulent time on the transition from the late Middle Ages to the New Age.
