In the picture above, Belgian delegate Peter Haenebalcke is trying to explain the name of 'Meetjesland', before the meeting can proceed. It has something to do with the emperor Charles the fifth being a fan of young maidens. The Meetjesland had to put their 'meetjes' in hiding, to keep Charles from mischief.
Or was it Charles the great, Charlemagne? I'll have to check.
