Dzieje króla Karola i rycerza Elegasta

The poetic structure gives the tale a timeless quality, but I'm curious whether the author aimed to evoke a specific mood or tradition.

Karel's actions often blur the lines between right and wrong, which made me wonder how much of his character is shaped by the poetic storytelling.

The blend of history and legend creates a rich tapestry, and I wonder how much was rooted in actual Dutch history or purely poetic invention.
