Abstract
After the deaths of the Burgundian dukes Philip the Bold (1404), Philip the Good (1467) and Philip the Fair (1506) several funeral ceremonies were organised in, amongst other towns, Dijon (1404), Bruges (1467) and Mechelen (1507). This article analyses these three ceremonies within the context of the so-called ‘Burgundian Theatre State’, and focusses on how the relations between the duke and the towns were formed and expressed in an urban spatial setting. It stresses that urban space was not simply ‘contested’ and that both the Burgundian-Habsburg dynasty and the urban elites had an interest in staging these ceremonies and used both the public space in the town and the sacral space of the churches to express their political message.
