Omond begins in the market-place of Bruges under its great belfry and moves through West Flanders to Damme, Ypres and Furnes, then on to the other provinces. He mixes description of churches, béguinages and processions with episodes from Belgian history, such as the Bruges Matins and the Battle of the Golden Spurs.
