GRAEME SMALL The Scottish Court in the Fifteenth Century A view from Burgundy Looking at the world of the Scottish court in the fifteenth century, the view from Burgundy was often far from positive. The exile of the Lancastrian royal family in Scotland in 1461, for example, was portrayed in the official ducal chronicle of George Chastelain as a miserable experience. Chastelain records an incident wherein Mar- garet of Anjou was forced to beg, from a tight-fisted Scots archer, for the loan of a groat to make her offering at Mass1. Scottish royal records show that the treatment the queen received was rather more generous, and we may suspect that Chastelain’s colourful account was influenced by literary topoi of long pedigree2.

  • Court Text.Vp
    6 Appointment Strategies at the Court of Duke Philip the Good: New Applications of Old Mechanisms Hanno Brand N the debate on the modernisation of the late medieval and early modern court, Ione of the central issues has been the tension between traditional, ‘feudal’ admin- istrative methods, which were based on personal relations, and novel, rational concepts of government. In particular, historians have focused on the question of how far the personal interests of established elites ceded to bureaucratic methods which served both the centralising policies of sovereign princes and the common good of those princes’ subjects. Recent scholarship has made an effort to dispense with the tenacious myth that novel standards and concepts which were developed at the European princely courts lay at the root of the modernisation of society as a whole. Thus, historians have pointed out that modern views and old-fashioned outlooks often co-existed, and they have accused princes and their councillors of having been too backward-looking, and of having failed to anticipate new trends and needs.1 Wolfgang Reinhard pin-pointed this apparent contradiction by intro- ducing the notion of ‘rénovation conservatrice’, which is intended to convey that improved or even new methods were introduced, in many cases, as a result of reac- tionary attitudes.2 Others have even denied that the court had a modernising impact on government, arguing that the decision-making process was dominated by informal administrative practices and long-standing privileges. They emphasise that personal relations and informal ties proved to be particularly successful when bureaucratic procedures failed.3 Because the new central institutions were far from 1 J.

  • Of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun
    Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2013 © 2013 Jun Hee Cho All rights reserved ABSTRACT Court in the Market: The ‘Business’ of a Princely Court in the Burgundian Netherlands, 1467-1503 Jun Hee Cho This dissertation examines the relations between court and commerce in Europe at the onset of the modern era. Focusing on one of the most powerful princely courts of the period, the court of Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy, which ruled over one of the most advanced economic regions in Europe, the greater Low Countries, it argues that the Burgundian court was, both in its institutional operations and its cultural aspirations, a commercial enterprise. Based primarily on fiscal accounts, corroborated with court correspondence, municipal records, official chronicles, and contemporary literary sources, this dissertation argues that the court was fully engaged in the commercial economy and furthermore that the culture of the court, in enacting the ideals of a largely imaginary feudal past, was also presenting the ideals of a commercial future. It uncovers courtiers who, despite their low rank yet because of their market expertise, were close to the duke and in charge of acquiring and maintaining the material goods that made possible the pageants and ceremonies so central to the self- representation of the Burgundian court. It exposes the wider network of court officials, urban merchants and artisans who, tied by marriage and business relationships, together produced and managed the ducal liveries, jewelries, tapestries and finances that realized the splendor of the court.
