An account of the causes, combatants and course of events in the
successive conflicts which troubled the duchy for half a century.
The medieval duchy of Brabant was one of the most powerful
principalities of the Low Countries. During the second half of the
fourteenth century, it underwent a particularly dramatic period in
its history: the House of Leuven wason the point of disappearance,
the duchy was coveted by Philip the Bold of Burgundy, who was
already dreaming of extending the "Burgundian Empire" and, by a
network of alliances, Brabant was drawn into the Hundred Years'
War. Theauthor reviews the successive conflicts which troubled the
duchy between 1356 and 1406; the different authorities which
influenced the course of military operations (the duchess and the
duke, their officers, and the Estates of Brabant); describes the
combatants, in particular the nobility and the urban militias;
considers the practical aspects of warfare; and analyses the
military obligations and contracts which bound the men at arms to
the duke. SERGIO BOFFA is currently researching in the department
of Maps and Plans, Bibliotheque Royale de Belgique, Brussels.
