Gorinchem, Noorduyn, Jacobus, Cranendoncq, Alexander, To immortalize the following event, the government of the city of Hoorn had this verse carved in stone at the western gate, stamped on the reverse, Sheet with 8 images about Lambert Melisz. In February 1574, Lambert Melisz from Zaandam put his old, poorly walking mother on a sled and fled with her across the ice in the bitter cold. On the way, they were caught by the Spaniards. When the soldiers found the boy with his shivering mother hidden under blankets, they were so moved that the two were left alone. After a rough journey, Lambert Meliszoon and his mother safely reached the gates of Hoorn. A four-line verse under each image.
