Summary "Alewijn, de Lijfeigene: Historisch verhaal uit de 12e eeuw" by E. Molt is a historical narrative likely written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Alewijn, a young boy who becomes a serf after his father, Redbold, succumbs to gambling debts, losing their freedom and forcing the family into servitude. This tale explores themes of struggle, family bonds, and the harsh realities of life in the feudal system. The opening of the narrative introduces Redbold, who returns from the Crusades to purchase land, only to fall into a cycle of gambling that leads to his family's downfall. As their fortunes diminish, Redbold and his family find themselves enslaved by the local abbot, with young Alewijn being sent to work at the abbey, first serving the chicken caretaker Diedaart. The narrative captures Alewijn's initial adjustment to his new life, highlighting the simple joys as well as the harsh duties he faces, setting the stage for his unfolding journey against the backdrop of his family's loss and his own aspirations for freedom.
