"Samenspraak over de Ridder der Louisen" is a Dutch broadside from 1705-1706, currently located in the Rijksmuseum. The broadside is an anonymous text depicting a dialogue between two speakers, "Gaarneuws" and "Weet-veel", about the "Ridder der Louisen", a name that is a play on words meaning both "Knight of the Louises", as in Louis XIV, and "Knight of the Lilies", referencing the flower that symbolizes the royal house of France. This type of illustrated text was a popular format for disseminating news and opinions during the 17th and 18th centuries.
