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.

Not cheap, but you get what what you pay for!!!
Color: Gold/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 58 Millimeters
After seventeen years in the blazing sun of Tucson, Arizona, I FINALLY broke down and brought myself (what I hoped was) a quality pair of sunglasses! I had gone through countless pairs of cheapies and had decided it was time. In the back of my mind, admittedly, I wondered if it was worth it... (I can be tight with a buck). The verdict? WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! My first impression? They felt heavy. Not uncomfortably, mind you, but the mass of something well made. After a day or two that only makes them more comfortable... And yes, over time, a few expected random scratches, but far fewer than their lower priced counterparts. And it's not like I baby them. They get beaten up. And they only seem to look BETTER instead of worse... a true sign of quality! This won't be my last pair. But I don't anticipate having to replace them for a long while. In a nutshell? Buy 'em. You won't regret it!

My Most-Worn RayBans By Far
Color: Gold/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
These are what you buy when you look absolutely horrible in teardrop Aviators, which I do. I've even had commissioned salespeople tell me not to wear teardrop aviators, that's how bad they look on me. I purchased these in 2012 after owning a pair of Ray Ban New Wayfarers. I wanted something more stylish and more vintage looking. These are light, the earpieces practically disappear on your face, and the lens quality is outstanding. They've been dropped many times but so far, they're still gleaming like new. The nose pads can irritate my nose after long periods of wear, but they're still way more comfortable than my optical glasses. I wear these when I know I'm going to be in the sun for a long time because they don't give me big tan lines on the side of my face. I tried a 55mm, but ended up needing a 58mm to fit my big head. The lenses on the 58mm are a tad taller than I would like, but they provide excellent sun protection and they don't look bad on me at all. Ironically, I bought my dad a pair of 55mm American Optical sunglasses and they're almost exactly the same size and shape as the 58mm Caravans. They do provide more wrap than the American Optical. I've gotten a lot of compliments about these, maybe more than any other pair of sunglasses I've ever owned.

Perfect for Pilots
Color: Gold/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
I work in aviation and got these because they have a very top gun, fresh-esque look. The glass is solid, I’ve dropped them a few times and haven’t scratched them yet (from August - March). Fits perfectly under my headset and they can slide on and off pretty easily with the headset on. I can see the G1000 perfectly, without losing any of the panel as I did with my polarized glasses. Good shades - slightly too small for my face, hence the four stars.

Just perfect.
Color: Gold Havana/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
I saw this model of Ray Bans while watching Top Gun: Maverick. Actor John Hamm (Cyclone, in the movie) sported these during the beach scene. I looked for them here in Amazon and was lucky to find them for less than $100. They fit just great, and the lenses (G-15), give a clear and high definition picture. I definitely recommend them, perfect for driving, cycling, or your next F/A-18 mission.

Almost like they used to be...
Color: Gunmetal/G-15 Green, Lens Width: 55 Millimeters
These are the 3rd pair of Caravans I've owned over the years. The 1st pair were chrome frames and got mangled one time when I had set them on the trunk of the car to fill-up and drove away without them. Went back after only 100 yards or so, but by then they had been clipped by another car and were toast. Kept the lenses, sent the frame back to B&L (when they were still in Rochester -- and when customer service really WAS important to the company) and they sent back a brand-new pair of black-framed beauties -- FOR FREE! This pair recently experienced a broken frame - right at the junction of the lower curved piece that holds the lens frames together. (How this happened, I have no idea. I was wearing them. Put them in my shirt pocket. Took them out, put them on, and the lens was still in my pocket!) Now, Bausch & Lomb is owned by Luxottica (in Atlanta, GA.) Not entirely friendly, I would say, especially in the tone of the service rep's voice and bluntness. And I was told my only hope of getting any kind of satisfaction was to ship the broken pair to them and after examination they would decide whether it was a manufacturing defect or a customer caused one. Believe me -- there are NO damage marks on these black frames. The frame just cracked due to what? Fatigue, I guess. If judged in my favor they'd give me a substantial discount (40%, I believe) off list price on another pair that they might have in stock at the time. Egads! Talk about leaving you feeling helpless. NONE of the frames and lenses shown were to my liking, so I opted out of that choice and decided to search Amazon for a pair to my liking. So, this brings me to the new ones -- the subject at hand. The lenses on these are advertised as being 55mm wide, which they are. However, the original Caravans were 58mm wide = a small but perceptable difference, especially in field-of-view coverage AND how they look on your face. The G15 lenses seem to be the same tint, and the color (gun metal grey) is very nice. They fit well, and are what one would expect given the name RayBan. Therefore, I recommend them. [Footnote: As for my broken 58mm black-framed pair -- I looked up repair shops on the I-net, found 2 that seemed to talk a good game, picked one (in Cincinnati) and shipped them off today to have the frame laser welded. I am keeping my fingers crossed that they'll come back in usable shape (as promised) and I will again have my Old Faithfull's back. $35 to save a no-longer-made classic pair of RayBans is worth it in my book.]
