Intermediate Institutions in the County of Flanders in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Era
En 2010, une journée d'étude sur les institutions intermédiaires du Comté de Flandre s'est déroulée à Gand. Les actes de cette journée viennent d'être publiés sous le titre 'Intermediate Institutions in the County of Flanders in the Late Middle Ages and the Early Modern Era'. Cette publication contient sept contributions de jeunes chercheurs universitaires et des Archives de l'État dans lesquelles ils présentent leurs recherches (doctorales) concernant la composition, les compétences et le fonctionnement des institutions intermédiaires du comté de Flandre, c'est-à-dire celles qui se situaient entre le niveau local (la ville ou la seigneurie) et le niveau central des Pays-Bas bourguignons et habsbourgeois. Du XVe au XVIIIe siècle, ces institutions ont connu une évolution remarquable en termes de centralisation, professionnalisation et bureaucratisation.

Communes and Conflict: Urban Rebellion in Late Medieval Flanders
In Communes and Conflict, Jan Dumolyn and Jelle Haemers explore the urban rebellions that regularly erupted in Flanders between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. They analyse not only how these rebellions were sparked and repressed, but also how they shaped the culture and identity of Flemish townspeople. Drawing from a wide range of theoretical methods and concepts, including those of discourse analysis, semiotics, speech acts, collective memory and material cultural studies, the authors return to key Marxist questions on ideology, labour and class interest to map the perspectives of the rebels, the urban patriciate and the Flemish and Burgundian nobility.

The Production of Stained Glass in the County of Flanders and the Duchy of Brabant from the XVth to the XVIIIth Centuries
The research focuses on materials and techniques used in the art of stained glass in the Low Countries and more especially in the County of Flanders and Duchy of Brabant during the Renaissance and Baroque eras. This was without doubt the golden age of stained glass in our region and stained-glass artists at the time were sometimes highly respected draughtsmen and painters.To give a clear picture of material and technical developments, the period under consideration starts with a prologue (from the early fifteenth century) and ends with an epilogue (into the first decades of the eighteenth century). The subjects of research were not restricted to the glass still present in our region, but inc...
THE FLEMISH
The word ""Flemish"" refers to the people living in the North of Belgium and France and the South of the Netherlands. The Flemish, also called ""Flemings,"" are of Germanic (Frank) origin. When the Franks invaded what is now Belgium, they settled between the sea and the ""charcoal forest,"" a dense old-growth forest of beech and oak, which extended to the Rhine and formed a natural boundary during the Late Iron Age through Roman times into the Early Middle Ages. The county of Flanders was created 864 when the French king Charles the Bald granted it as a fief to his son-in-law Baldwin with the Iron Arm. Flanders was a part of France but distinguished itself from the rest of the country with its Germanic Flemish population and close economic ties to England. Unlike other French fiefs it was never returned to the French king's control, instead Flanders became a part of the duke of Burgundy's possessions in 1384, which would evolve into present day Belgium.
The Great Famine in the County of Flanders (1315-17)
The exceptional weather conditions and associated harvest failures of 1315-17 marked the beginning of the worst subsistence crisis in European history. Until now, historians have mainly viewed the Great Famine, and medieval famines in general, through theoretical models of the larger fourteenth-century crisis. However, this article suggests that this approach is flawed and instead applies recent theories on contemporary famines to the crisis of 1315-17 in the county of Flanders. This new perspective not only leads to a re-examination of existing explanations, such as the role of warfare, but also reveals the importance of property rights in entitlement to food: the power of elites, the relative number of large-scale landowners, and the structure of household income all influenced peasants' degree of vulnerability.
The Foster Family
The Foster and associated families are said to descend from Anacher who was the founder of the Flemish dynasty of Baldwin, Counts of Flanders. Richard of Flanders, brother-in-law of William the Conquerer, accompanied the Normans to England in 1066. Richard was surnamed Forrester after the conquest and is considered to be the common ancestor of the Forsters and Fosters. In the early 1600s, Richard Foster (1619-1681) immigrated to Virginia. He was the father of at least three children. Descendants live in Virginia, Missouri, Texas and other parts of the United States.
Flanders and the Anglo-Norman World, 1066–1216
The union of Normandy and England in 1066 recast the political map of western Europe and marked the beginning of a new era in the region's international history. This book is a groundbreaking investigation of the relations and exchanges between the county of Flanders and the Anglo-Norman realm. Among other important themes, it examines Anglo-Flemish diplomatic treaties and fiefs, international aristocratic culture, the growth of overseas commerce, immigration into England and the construction of new social and national identities. The century and a half between the conquest of England by the duke of Normandy and the conquest of Normandy by the king of France witnessed major revolutions in European society, politics and culture. This study explores the history of England, northern France and southern Low Countries in relation to each other during this period, giving fresh perspectives to the historical development of north-western Europe in the Central Middle Ages.
