Crosschecking iconographic and textual evidence, this article explores how games were regulated in the countryside of Flanders, Zeeland, and Holland between c. 1250 and c. 1600.

The Political Economy of Seigneurial Lordship in Flanders, c. 1250–1570
The recent debate between Chris Wickham and Shami Ghosh exposes different interpretations of the political economy of Europe, with Wickham arguing for the persistence of the feudal economy up to about 1700, and Ghosh imagining a distinct phase in which economic development was not yet capitalist but was no longer decisively shaped by the demands of lords. This article contributes to the discussion with the story of Flanders, where two contrasting…
Local Lordship and Joyous Entries in the Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands
Ever since the cultural turn and the understanding of ritual and ceremony as forms of communication and symbolic negotiation, medieval and early modern princely coronations, inaugurations, and joyous entries have received incessant scholarly attention. That was much less the case for seigneurial joyous entries that took place in villages and small towns. The Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands, and the Duchy of Brabant in particular, had a remark…
Addressing audiences abroad
This special issue highlights the interactions between diplomats and wider audiences in their host country during the seventeenth century. The dynamic and complex relationships between diplomats and foreign audiences in the early modern period have remained somewhat under the radar. While concepts such as “soft power”, “cultural diplomacy”, and “public diplomacy” have been developed by scholars of international relations in the twentieth century …
Dépasser l'éloignement
Dans cet article le rôle des correspondances dans le fonctionnement de l'administration à grande distance des Temps modernes, est centrale. En s'appuyant sur l'exemple des Pays-Bas méridionaux entre 1716 et 1725, l'auteur souhaite montrer que la transmission d'informations défectueuses compromettait le processus décisionnel. La négligence du ministre plénipotentiaire Prié poussait le gouverneur général Eugène de Savoie, qui résidait à Vienne et n…
The investiture of Emperor Charles VI in Brabant and Flanders
This article focuses upon the investitures of Emperor Charles VI in 1717 in Brabant and Flanders. The purpose of this analysis is to demonstrate that, contrary to what some historians have claimed, the element of direct communication between prince and subjects remained significant at least until the beginning of the eighteenth century. Despite Charles’ assertive attitude, the ceremonies were preceded by a period of intense negotiation, in which …
L'empereur Charles VI et « l'héritage anjouin » dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux (1716-1725)
Le thème central de cet article est l'attitude des autorités autrichiennes, lorsqu'elles obtinrent le pouvoir dans les Pays-Bas méridionaux au début de l'année 1716, envers ce qui restait du « Régime anjouin » précédent. L'empereur Charles VI considéra le régime de Philippe d'Anjou, ou Philippe V d'Espagne, comme illégitime et par conséquent annula certains actes juridiques anjouins : patentes d'anoblissement, nominations de fonctionnaires, pensi…
Divided Loyalties
This article explores the different political groups and loyalties existing in the Southern Netherlands after the War of the Spanish Succession. During the war, as in the other regions of the Spanish empire, groups of adherents of the two pretenders to the Spanish throne Philip of Anjou (Philip V of Spain) and archduke Charles (emperor Charles VI of Austria) emerged. Because these claimants did not settle their differences until 1725, the issue o…
