Interview met de geschiedenis
During his travels along the Mediterranean and ‘Across the Low Countries’, Arnout Hauben often brought up stories from the past, but now the walking travel guide of VRT 1 is going one step further. In ‘Interview with history: the Belgian royal family’, he talks to the Belgian kings, played by top Flemish actors. These conversations form the thread running through the episode and are interspersed with reports and archive material.

Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 – 1821)
Napoleon was a strong strategist and a visionary statesman, but he could not relinquish power and ultimately succumbed to his own greatness. Arnout met the Emperor of France (Stefaan Degand) in 1815 in the village of Ligny, two days before his final campaign. Afterwards, Arnout stood silently beside Napoleon at Waterloo as his army was crushed. Napoleon's dream ended with a defeat that stripped him of his last vestige of power.
