‘The greatest marketplace in the world’ : the role of Antwerp in the economic and financial network of the Habsburg Empire Universiteit Gent
Local Lordship and Joyous Entries in the Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Sinds de cultural turn en het besef dat rituelen en ceremoniën een vorm zijn van communicatie en symbolische onderhandeling, staan middeleeuwse en vroegmoderne vorstelijke kroningen, inhuldigingen en blijde intredes hoog op de onderzoeksagenda.

Thus, less than a month before her joyeuse ...
