Description

Bokkenrijders. De schande van Limburg 1De hardvochtige vervolgingen, de tortuur, het (on)recht, de mythen en sagen. De al dan niet in groepsverband gepleegde misdaden, varirend van kruimeldiefstallen tot roofmoord. Eden op de duivel, bokken die door de lucht vlogen. Hele streken in rep en roer door het optreden van een (vermeende) bende. En dat allemaal in ons Limburg. Traden er werkelijk georganiseerde groepen misdadigers op? Waren, afgezien van een harde kern criminelen, de meesten niet

De hardvochtige vervolgingen, de tortuur, het (on)recht, de mythen en sagen. De al dan niet in groepsverband gepleegde misdaden, variërend van kruimeldiefstallen tot roofmoord. Eden op de duivel, bokken die door de lucht vlogen. Hele streken in rep en roer door het optreden van een (vermeende) bende. En dat allemaal in ‘ons’ Limburg.

Traden er werkelijk georganiseerde groepen misdadigers op? Waren, afgezien van een harde kern criminelen, de meesten niet armlastige eenvoudigen van geest? Hard getroffen door economische tegenwind, misoogsten en strenge winters, en zonder enig sociaal vangnet? Protocommunisten, revolutionairen, verlopen soldateska of papenvreters? Slachtoffers van een vermolmd rechtssysteem met een rampzalige tortuurpraktijk? Spookbeeld, tunnelvisie? Een gerechtelijke dwaling die haar weerga in Nederland niet kent?
Al eeuwenlang boeit het thema Bokkenrijders vele lezers, historici en andere geïnteresseerden.

Eén van hen is François Van Gehuchten (Geel, 1957), een van de medeoprichters van het Bokkenrijdersgenootschap. Jaren geleden besloot hij niet passief te blijven. Als historicus kon hij maar één ding doen: zelf de archieven in en onderzoek doen. In 2002 resulteerde dat in het boek Bokkenrijders. Late heksenprocessen in Limburg (Opglabbeek, 2002). In deze uitgave werden voornamelijk de processen in het huidige Belgisch Limburg onder de loep genomen.

Een vervolg kon niet uitblijven: een onderzoek naar de bokkenrijdersprocessen in de rechtsgebieden van wat nu Nederlands Limburg is. De resultaten waren interessant, en vooral rijk van stof. Wij presenteren nu het eerste deel, handelend over de vervolgingen van 1743-1745 en 1750-1752. In het najaar (november 2014) volgt De schande van Limburg II. Het derde en grootste Bokkenrijdersproces 1771-1777. Beide delen zijn uiteraard complementair, maar kunnen ook los van elkaar gelezen worden. Lees en huiver. Maar geniet vooral van een ongemeen interessante, maar ook treurige episode in de Limburgse geschiedenis. Vlot geschreven door een auteur die weet waarover hij schrijft.

De eindredactie is van Mark van Dijk.

Meer over de auteur

François Van Gehuchten (Geel, 1957) studeerde moderne geschiedenis aan de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (1975-1980), afdeling Nieuwe Tijd.Vooral de 17de en 18de eeuw bestudeerde hij vrij intens. Het was de periode van godsdienst- en vrijheidsstrijd, maar ook van heksenwaan en spookprocessen.Na eerdere studies over bendevorming in de 18de eeuw en de Boerenkrijg, een landelijke opstand tegen de Franse Republiek (1798) begon hij van af 1998 aan de studie over bokkenrijders in Belgisch Limburg wat resulteerde in een lijvige publicatie over de vier processen die in West-Limburg werden gevoerd. In 2003 was hij medeoprichter van het Internationaal Bokkenrijdersgenootschap (NL-B-D).

Vanaf 2007 begon hij intens de procesakten van Nederlands Limburg te bestuderen wat resulteert in De schande van Limburg I, waarin de eerste twee monsterprocessen worden beschreven (1743-1752). Later volgt een tweede deel over de derde en laatste vervolging van bokkenrijders in de landen van Overmaas.

A good start to the story
Format: Kindle
This was definitely entertaining, and the cliffhanger left me curious to see what happens next. Addi is definitely a bad ass and she has to prove herself Day in and Day out because of what she is. I love that. She never cowards and always rises to a challenge. She doesn’t let anyone push her and she always has a comeback for any prejudice thing said to her. I’m looking for more from the guys cause so far I’m honestly unimpressed. They definitely have some growth and helping within these next few books I’ll see that growth and like them a little more.

OUTSTANDING
Format: Kindle
This was very, very good. The world is vast and characters are complex. There is a good plot with a whole lot going on. This is well written. Good twists and turns and some heart breaking moments. You will love these characters, they have heart and loyalty. I am hoping that there will be several more books. We've yet to see anything from the Sea Court but only a mention of them here and there. The Wood Court was given a quick couple of scenes, and only as far as some warriors, we've yet to enter their court and the Shadow Court, I'm not sure if they will be a force for good or bad, but they definitely will play a much bigger role moving forward. This is primarily the Ice and Air Courts. Told in multiple views, which I loved, it gives you a chance to see things from different eyes. There's alot of political maneuvering and deception. I loved it and will pick up the next book as it becomes available. If you like The Fae and the courts, you should love this. I think the author has mucn in store for us.

Definitely worth the read!
Format: Kindle
After taking a deep breath and taking in that wicked twist of an ending, I have finally composed myself. My first thought when I started this book was that I love Reyna's character. I was intrigued by her connection with her familiar and the Ruin that is plaguing her land. It came as no surprise that she took her sister's place in an attempt to protect her. When they reach the Air Court everything slows down. This is where it was iffy for me. First of all, I like multiple POV's in books however 7 is a bit much. It starts to interrupt the story line. I felt like I was finally making progress connecting with one character, then it was switched to another person. I felt they all had necessary or pertinent information but not necessarily were they all POV worthy. The only other thing that annoyed me was that Reyna constantly was " trapped." She would rush off without thinking, only to need rescuing. She is brilliant in a fight, but she really doesn't think through anything. Lorcan is amazing. I know he might be on the "bad" list, but his background is so interesting. Eislyn(Reyna's sister) is really so sweet, but calculating. I enjoyed her and Thane's dialogue. The author did an amazing job with the imagery in this book. Everything was so detailed it was easy to fall into the scene. I love unexpected twists and while part of the ending I expected, I wasn't expecting how it took place. All in all, I found it very entertaining and I am very invested in continuing this series. Favorite quotes: "The truth may be twisted but never false." "Who was she if she was not the enemy of the Air Court? What was her purpose of she no longer has that?" "In a war-torn land, love was always a lie."

Great Read!!! Great story!!!
Format: Kindle
The series is long, but Ms. Wolfhart does a fantastic job of weaving this tale while bringing so much to the characters. Surprises and plot twists along the way to keep you intrigued. There is some graphic sex, but is no way the focal point. Grammar was excellent (a rare find with a lot of self publishers) with only a few noted errors. I rarely give 4 stars, let alone 5.
