One Foot in the Palace

The Habsburg Court of Brussels and the Politics of Access in the Reign of Albert and Isabella, 1598-1621

Dries Raeymaekers

The splendor and enticement of the Archdukes' Court in Brussels

Once home to the Dukes of Burgundy, the ancient palace on the Coudenberg hill in Brussels became the principal residence of the Habsburg governors in the Low Countries and, in the period 1598-1621, that of Archduke Albert and his wife, the Spanish Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia. Eager to reassert the dynasty's authority in these parts, the Archdukes ruled the Habsburg Netherlands as sovereign princes in their own right. This book vividly brings to life the splendor of their court and unravels the goals and ambitions of the men and women who lived and worked in the palace. Lees meer
