Art/Literary - Poetry & Literature | | Dutch term or phrase: homperdepomp ou homperlepomp | De prent beeldt het kasteel af zoals het er in die gouden eeuw uitzag. Binnen het afgebeelde poortgebouw bevindt zich volgens de overlevering de homperdepomp of gevangenis. Daar zuchten geketende gevangenen in afwachting van hun proces. Over zo’n gevangene, een ketter, schrijft kapelaan Christiaan Munters het volgende: “Woort hier draait die alde gevangen ende in homperlepomp geleidt”. De vrouw zal 4 keer op de pijnbank terechtkomen.
ok, c'est une sorte de prison, mais est-ce en FR un terme spécifique au Moyen-Age? Merci de m'aider |

| | French translation:homperlepomp | Explanation:
Bonjour ! Si on se réferre à ce lien; le mot d'origine est conservé, attendu que même dans des textes néerlandophones on voit le terme expliqué "Zo vermeldt hij op 5 september 1540 dat 'de overste vanden wederdoepsel in Homperlepomp [zijn benaming voor de gevangenis] bracht is'; op 20-22 oktober 1541 . |
