Burgundian Court

The Burgundian Court refers to the royal and noble court associated with the Duchy of Burgundy in medieval Europe, particularly during the 15th century. It became a cultural and political center known for its wealth, artistic patronage, and influence. The Dukes of Burgundy, like Philip the Bold and his successors, cultivated a lavish lifestyle, attracting artists, musicians, and intellectuals, which fostered a unique blend of Flemish and French culture. The court played a significant role in European politics, often balancing power between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and contributing to the development of arts and diplomacy during the Renaissance.
