ABSTRACT

In 1559 the twenty-third chapter of the Golden Fleece was held in Ghent, presided over by its grandmaster King Philip II. The meeting concluded the chivalric order’s venerable tradition of organising large public ceremonies in the primary cities of the Burgundian-Habsburg lands. This contribution foregrounds the spatial arrangements for this chapter within Ghent’s collegiate church of St Bavo and discusses the positions not only of the court but also of important local players such as the church chapter, the urban magistracy, local chroniclers, and iconoclasts. The essay shows how the Habsburg dynasty systematically appropriated the interiors of the main urban churches in the Low Countries in order to highlight the continuity of Burgundian rule but at the same time broadcast a new imperial ideology. Despite these efforts, however, local audiences reinvented these spaces as important lieux de mémoire of what they perceived as traditional Burgundian rule.

摘要

1559年，金羊毛的第二十三章在根特举行，由其大师菲利普二世国王主持。会议总结了骑士制度的古老传统，即在勃艮第-哈布斯堡地区的主要城市组织大型公共仪式。这项贡献展望了根特大学圣巴沃教堂中该章的空间安排，并不仅讨论了法院的立场，还讨论了重要的当地参与者的立场，例如教堂的章节，城市治安官，当地编年史家和破例者。这篇文章展示了哈布斯堡王朝如何系统地利用低地国家的主要城市教堂的内部，以突出勃艮第统治的连续性，同时又传播了新的帝国意识形态。尽管有这些努力，
