  • The Podium for Holland, the Plush Bench for Belgium
    The Podium for Holland, The Plush Bench for Belgium The Low Countries and the Olympic Games 58 [ h a n s v a n d e w e g h e ] Dutch Inge de Bruin wins The Netherlands is certain to win its hundredth gold medal at the London 2012 gold. Freestyle, 50m. Olympics. Whether the Belgians will be able to celebrate winning gold medal Athens, 2004. number 43 remains to be seen, but that is not Belgium’s core business: Bel- gium has the distinction of being the only country to have provided two presi- dents of the International Olympic Committee. The Netherlands initially did better in the IOC membership competition, too. Baron Fritz van Tuijll van Serooskerken was the first IOC representative from the Low Countries, though he was not a member right from the start; this Dutch nobleman joined the International Olympic Committee in 1898, two years after its formation, to become the first Dutch IOC member. Baron Van Tuijll is still a great name in Dutch sporting history; in 1912 he founded a Dutch branch of the Olympic Movement and became its first president. However, it was not long before Belgium caught up. There were no Belgians among the 13 men – even today, women members are still few and far between – who made up the first International Olympic Committee in 1894, but thanks to the efforts of Count Henri de Baillet-Latour, who joined the IOC in 1903, the Olympic Movement became the key international point of reference for sport in the Catholic south. The Belgian Olympic Committee was formed three years later – a year af- ter Belgium, thanks to the efforts of King Leopold II, had played host to the prestigious Olympic Congress.

  • Wim P. Blockmans
    Wim P. Blockmans Alternatives to Monarchical Centralisation: The Great Tradition of Revolt in Flanders and Brabant One of the first deeds of the revolutionary magistrate which took power in Ghent on the 1st of November 1577, was to propose to the city of Brussels to revive the alli- ance made by Flanders and Brabant in 13391. This was concluded at the time when King Edward III was seeking support in the Low Countries in his struggle for the kingdom of France. Ghent, and the other leading towns of Flanders rejected the au- thority of their count and took sides with the king of England. It was in Ghent that Edward took the title of king of France, and that the Flemings recognised him as their sovereign2. The reference made in 1577 to these events concerns a whole political programme which the city authorities of Ghent proposed to the States General in May 1579, to be implemented if the peace negotiations with the King of Spain at Cologne were not successful3. The general tendency of this programme was the formation of a city-state system, bringing the whole county of Flanders under the control of the three great cities Ghent, Bruges and Ypres. Ghent prescribed in its own quarter - the abolition of autonomous rural districts, - the creation of a council of representatives of the towns to decide in matters of state, war and public order, - the reservation for Ghent of one third of the votes in the appointment of aldermen in the smaller towns. After the introduction of this political system in the quarter of Ghent, it would be recommended for introduction in the three other quarters of the county.

  • 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.
