It’s 1596, Bruno and Zwarte Kaat are sitting in a small house on the heath. Bruno is a strong man with hair as red as fire and his wife, Zwarte Kaat, has raven black hair, narrow lips and a large, crooked nose. Bruno and Zwarte Kaat, also known as the Witch of Hellenende, are the leaders of a gang of robbers that long ago made the Brabantse Kempen unsafe. For years they and their accomplices plundered farms and churches and robbed traveling salesmen. No one was safe.
