Political Representation: Communities, Ideas and Institutions in Europe (c. 1200-c. 1690)
Full text linkThis scholarly collection on representation in medieval and early modern Europe opens up the field of institutional and parliamentary history to new paradigms of representation across a wide geography and chronology - as testified by the volume's studies on assemblies ranging from Burgundy and Brabant to Ireland and Italy. The focus is on three areas: institutional developments of representative institutions in Western Europe; the composition of these institutions concerning interest groups and individual participants; and the ideological environment of representatives in time and space. By analysing the balance between bottom-up and top-down approaches to the functioning of institutions of representation; by studying the actors behind the representative institutions linking prosopographical research with changes in political dialogue; and by exploring the ideological world of representation, this volume makes an key contribution to the historiography of pre-modern government and political culture

The Pas du Perron Fée (Pas of the Enchanted Column), Bruges, 1463
Full text linkExtracts from both urban and ducal financial accounts have been edited and translated here in order to show how a pas d’armes and its related festivities were financed in the case of the Pas du Perron Fée, which was organised by Philippe de Lalaing in Bruges in April/May 1463.¹ Apart from outlining the financial details of a pas, these accounts show that the Perron Fée was embedded in a range of other events during these months which were not only chivalric but also civic and religious in character. Financial accounts in the later Middle Ages were produced in order to provide oversight of the financial management of an officer in the service of a prince, a town, a nobleman or any institution that needed to control its receipts and expenditure.<br/

Heraldry and Territory: Coats of Arms and the Representation and Construction of Authority in Space
Full text linkIn this chapter we analyse coats of arms as a powerful and versatile tool of late medieval communication. We explore how territorial titles and claims of kings, princes, nobles, and urban elites alike were translated into heraldic signs and communicated to socially diverse audiences. The ubiquity of territorial heraldry is demonstrated in manuscript sources, including armorials, chronicles, illuminations and account books, as well as for visual and material sources such as heraldically decorated objects such as banners, painted walls, and stained glass in town halls, churches, and noble palaces. We examine the interplay of heraldry and territory in its textual, visual, material, and performative dimensions in order to show how heraldic communication was used to represent and (re)construct complex territorial structures in the Late Middle Ages
