Wandering minstrels, folk tales and processions popularised such universal heroic epics. The story in particular deals with the problematic nature of feudalism, during the early Middle Ages and dates back to Charlemagne. For years and years, Aymon, Lord of Dendermonde, has lived in disagreement with his lord, Charlemagne. The four sons of Aymon continued this fight and could count on the loyal services of their horse, ‘Ros Beiaard’. After years of war and fighting, Charlemagne delivered an ultimatum : peace in exchange for Bayard. The faithful horse was drowned at the confluence of the rivers Dender and Scheldt. But Bayard wass very much alive in the Parade of the Bayard Steed. Every ten years the horse and its four riders hold their triumphal procession through town. Dendermonde is the only place in the World where the heroic horse forms the central theme of a historic parade (with 2000 participants and 100.000 spectators). lts last appearance dating from 2010, the pride and glory of Dendermonde is to make a new round of the town on 24 Mai 2O2O. For those who cannot wait till the next Bayard Steed Parade and want to enjoy mediaeval folklore at its best, they can come to the annual Traditional Giants Parade, ‘Katuit’.

For years and years, Aymon, Lord of Dendermonde, lived in disagreement with his lord, Charlemagne. The four sons of Aymon continued this fight, counting on the loyal services of their horse, Ros Beiaard. After years of war and fighting, Charlemagne delivered an ultimatum of peace in exchange for Bayard. The faithful horse was drowned at the confluence of the Dender and Scheidt rivers. However, Bayard is very much alive in the Parade of the Bayard Steed. Every ten years, the horse and its four riders hold their triumphal procession through the town. Dendermonde is the only place in the world where the heroic horse forms the central theme of a historic parade (with 2,000 participants and 100,000 spectators).
