MotherIsabella of Bourbon

As the only child ofCharles the Bold,Duke of Burgundy, and his wifeIsabella of Bourbon,Mary inherited the Burgundian lands at the age of 19 upon the death of her father in theBattle of Nancyon 5 January 1477.[1]In order to counter the appetite of the French kingLouis XIfor her lands, she marriedMaximilian of Austria,with whom she had two children. The marriage kept large parts of the Burgundian lands from disintegration, but also changed the dynasty from Valois to Habsburg (theDuchy of Burgundyitself soon became a French possession).[2][3]This was a turning point in European politics, leading to aFrench–Habsburg rivalrythat would endure for centuries. Long after Mary's death, her husband becameHoly Roman Emperor.Their son becameKing Philip I of Castile,and their daughter,Margaret,becameDuchess of Savoy.

Early years

edit

Mary of Burgundy was born inBrusselsat the ducal castle ofCoudenberg,toCharles the Bold,then known as the Count of Charolais, and his wifeIsabella of Bourbon.[4]Her birth, according to the court chroniclerGeorges Chastellain,was attended by a clap of thunder ringing from the otherwise clear twilight sky. Her godfather wasLouis, Dauphin of France,in exile in Burgundy at that time; he named her for his motherMarie of Anjou.Reactions to the child's birth were mixed: the baby's grandfather, DukePhilip the Good,was unimpressed, and "chose not to attend the [baptism] asit was only for a girl",whereas her grandmotherIsabella of Portugalwas delighted at the birth of a granddaughter.[5]Her illegitimate auntAnnewas assigned to be responsible for Mary's education and assigned Jeanne de Clito to be her governess. Jeanne remained a friend to Mary later in life and was one of her most constant companions.

Heir presumptive

edit

Philip the Good died in 1467 and Mary's father assumed control of the Burgundian State. Since her father had no living sons at the time of his accession, Mary became hisheir presumptive.Her father controlled a vast and wealthy domain made up of theDuchy of Burgundy,theFree County of Burgundy,and the majority of theLow Countries.As a result, her hand in marriage was eagerly sought by a number of princes. The first proposal was received by her father when she was only five years old, in this case to marry the future KingFerdinand II of Aragon.Later she was approached byCharles, Duke of Berry;his older brother, King Louis XI of France, was intensely annoyed by Charles's move and attempted to prevent the necessary papal dispensation forconsanguinity.

The contenders for the hand of Mary of Burgundy

As soon as Louis succeeded in producing a male heir who survived infancy, the future KingCharles VIII of France,Louis wanted him to be the one to marry Mary, even though he was thirteen years younger than Mary.Nicholas I, Duke of Lorraine,was nine years older than Mary and controlled a duchy that lay alongside Burgundian territory, but his plan to combine his domain with hers was ended by his death in 1473 (he started having stomach pains three days before his death; poison was suspected).[6]Another suitor wasGeorge Plantagenet, Duke of Clarence(supported by his sisterMargaret of York,Mary's stepmother), but his brotherEdward IV, King of England,prevented the match for both political and personal reasons (he initially wanted to support his brother-in-lawAnthony Woodville). The king's move angered the duke, who seemed to lose control and restarted conflicts with his brother, which ultimately led to his death.[7][8]

Reign

edit

Mary assumed the rule of her father's domains upon his defeat in battle and death on 5 January 1477. In addition to the Duchy and County of Burgundy, her territories included the duchies ofLimburg,Brabant,Luxembourg,and the counties ofNamur,Holland,Hainaut.[9][10][11]King Louis XI of France seized the opportunity to attempt to take possession of the Duchy of Burgundy proper and also the regions ofFranche-Comté,PicardyandArtois.

She called on her people to stay loyal to the house of Burgundy (there are still extant letters that Mary wrote to the Duchy of Burgundy and Arras asking for their support).[12]Louis XI took over Arras, but the people refused to submit without her approval. Eighteen burgesses were decapitated by the king as they were discovered trying to go to see her. He ordered a mass expulsion and renamed the town Franchise.[13]

The king of France was anxious that Mary should marry his son Charles and thus secure the inheritance of theLow Countriesfor his heirs, by force of arms if necessary. By February 1477, neither her advisors nor the States General imagined that they could resist the French army. Chancellor Hugonet led a delegation to discuss the prospect of Mary's marriage to the six-year-old Dauphin (later King Charles VIII). The negotiation ended in failure as Louis XI demanded unacceptable terms, including the surrender of the Duchy of Burgundy and the French territories acquired by Philip the Good and Charles the Bold. The king then betrayed her secret letters to the burghers of Ghent, who then seized two men who were named in those letters – Hugonet and theSire d'Humbercourt,two of her father's most influential councilors, and despite her pleadings, executed them on 3 April 1477. They then took away her other advisors too.[14][15]Koenigsberger suspects that Louis XI might have forged the letters.[16]

The Great Privilege

edit

Mary was compelled to sign a charter of rights known as theGreat PrivilegeinGhenton 10 February 1477, the occasion of her formal recognition as her father's heir (the "Joyous Entry"). Under this agreement, the provinces and towns ofFlanders,Brabant,Hainaut,andHollandrecovered all the local and communal rights that had been abolished by the decrees of the dukes of Burgundy in their efforts to create a centralised state on the French model out of their disparate holdings in the Low Countries. In particular, theParliament of Mechelen(established formally by Charles the Bold in 1470) was abolished and replaced with the pre-existing authority of theParlement of Paris,which was considered an amenable counterweight to the encroaching centralisation undertaken by both Charles the Bold and Philip the Good. The duchess also had to undertake not to declare war, make peace, or raise taxes without the consent of these provinces and towns and only to employ native residents in official posts. The Great Privilege also determined that Nederlands would be the language of the joint States-General.

Marriage

edit

Mary soon made her choice among the many suitors for her hand by selectingArchduke Maximilian of Austria(future Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I), who became her co-ruler.[17]The marriage took place at Ghent on 19 August 1477, she was 20 years old, while he was two years younger.[18]Mary's marriage into theHouse of Habsburginitiated two centuries of contention between France and the Habsburgs, a struggle that climaxed with theWar of the Spanish Successionin the years 1701–1714.

The reverse of a medal struck in 1477 to celebrate the marriage between Mary and Maximilian. The Virgin, with Child in her lap, stands between two Saints. Inscription reads “tota pulc(h)ra es amica mea et macula non est in te”, an excerpt from the address to the betrothed woman in theSong of Songs.Likely commissioned by Maximilian as a gift to his own immaculate bride. The obverse show names and coats-of-arms of the couple.[19]

When they had time, the couple indulged themselves with dancing, hunting, music and the love for animals. Mary tried to teach him iceskating, which he struggled to master. They read romances together.[20][21]Soon after the wedding, she brought falcons into their bedroom (which they shared instead of living in separate apartments, and which already had a dog).[22]Mary nursed the children herself, ordered the menus and dined out with merchants from Dijon.[23][24]Mary cheered for her husband in tournaments, during which he proved a magnificent jouster, not just in feats of strength but in the luxury he lavished on the equipments, horses, accessories and ornaments as well.[25][26]At first, they talked to each other in Latin.[27]

According to Haemers and Sutch, the original marriage contract stipulated that Maximilian could not inherit her Burgundian lands if they had children – this means that, the fact the couple produced heirs would give Maximilian troubles later.[28][29]Some report that the original marriage contract stipulated that only common children of Mary and Maximilian could claim her Burgundian inheritance after her death. But one month after their marriage, she made an amendment that designated Maximilian as the heir in the case they had no children - a clause that the estates would try to repudiate after her death.[30][31]

Co-rule with Maximilian

edit

With Maximilian by her side, Mary's position became stronger, politically and militarily. Although he came with no money nor army, nor support from the Empire, and no prior experience in governance, his competence in military matters and his prestige as the son of an emperor boosted the stability of her realms. He took over the war effort, concerning both military and financial details.[32]

By this time, the Burgundian side had lost a lot of military captains owing to defections to France both before and after Charles the Bold's death. The loss of the Duchy of Burgundy cut down the whole government's backbone, consisting of high administrators and military commanders who came from the French-speaking nobility in Burgundy and Picardy.[33][34]Philip of Cleves,her cousin and childhood friend (who had been put forth as a bridegroom candidate for Mary by his fatherAdolf of Cleves;Mary and Philip were rumoured to be former love interests, although this is disputed by Arie de Fouw), whom she appointed as Stadtholder-General in 1477, now acted as Maximilian's lieutenant as Admiral of the Netherlands.[35][36]Despite the reputation of the Burgundian court as luxurious and rich, Charles the Bold had lost his whole fortune in his last three disastrous campaigns. The Low Countries were rich but the Estates were reluctant to pay. Moreover, the Burgundian state had lost one quarter of its tax revenue and due to new restrictions, a half of its government revenue in total.[33]Thus the initial financial situation was very tense and Mary had to pawn a lot of her heirlooms to finance their armies.[37]She also had to yield to the estates' demands regarding some of their privileges, in exchange for final support for Maximilian's war against France.[38]

Violet Soen shows that by political manipulation, Mary managed to tie the powerfulCroÿ familyto the crown.[39]

Mary would not gain back the Duchy of Burgundy, occupied by the French king, but she was able to keep her remaining lands intact.[40][41][42]In 1478–1479, Maximilian carried out a campaign against the French and reconqueredLe Quesnoy,CondeandAntoing.[43]He defeated the French forces atGuinegate(modernEnguinegatte), on 7 August 1479.[44]Despite winning, he had to abandon the siege of Thérouanne and disband his army, either because the Netherlanders did not want him to become too strong or because his treasury was empty. In addition, he proved as ruthless as Charles in suppressing rebellions in the Low Countries.[45]When conflicts broke out again between theHooks and the Cods,the archduke was able to put the conflict under control and assured the Cod domination, disregarding the Great Privilege in the process.[46]After a five-year hiatus (because most of the members had either died in Charles the Bold's wars or defected to France),[47]the Order of the Golden Fleece also got reorganized by Maximilian, as the new sovereign of the order.[48]

However, within the marriage, Mary retained her political primacy. Her subjects looked at Maximilian's foreigner status and his military ambitions with suspicion. They feared that he would prolong the war to regain the Duchy of Burgundy,[49]and also that new successes would strengthen him and make him a second coming of Charles the Bold, whose legacy had left them with a feeling of distaste – a fear that would prove not unreasonable, considering his autocratic and militaristic tendencies during his later regency.[50]Moreover, according toPhilippe de Commines,Maximilian was too young, in a foreign land, had been "brought up very badly" and thus did not have the slightest idea how to conduct affairs of the state.[51]Mary and Margaret tried to teach him French and Dutch but he proved a lazy student. Mary accompanied Maximilian on his many journeys, acting as the buffer between the German-speaking prince and their subjects.[52]According to Juan Luis Vives, a near contemporary author, when her subjects approached her on political matters, she would consult her husband "whose will she regarded as law", but she was always able to administer everything according to her own wishes and Maximilian, a mild husband, would never oppose her will.[53]She managed internal affairs and attended all assemblies where the couple needed to raise revenue. Burgundian coinage showed that Maximilian was never endowed with the official rank that contemporary royal husbands such as Ferdinand of Aragon achieved in their wives' possessions.[54]Apparently, she could impose her will on her spouse in military matters as well, as shown in the two times she tried to do this. In one case, recounted by Maximilian in the manuscript of theWeisskunig,his advisors tried to prevent him from unleashing war against a stronger French army who had concentrated at the front, but he was determined to carry it out. The advisors asked for help from Mary, who told him he could go but should come back to say farewell to her first. When he went back, she had him promptly locked up in his own apartment. After long negotiations, he agreed to go dancing instead and was let out.[55]In her official images and presentation, she was presented as an active, commanding ruler, usually on horseback and with a hawk. She adopted a more pacifistic image than her father, but her position as the rightful ruler was emphasized while Maximilian, armored and armed, tended to be shown behind his wife. This was in contrast with the profile portraits that Maximilian commissioned during his later reign as emperor, where she was often shown as the passive side.[56]

In order to bolster support for the government, she focused the most on public appearances, especially public shows of piety.[57][58]

The 1482 winter was harsh and France had declared a salt blockade, but the political situation in the Netherlands was overall positive; the French aggression was temporarily checked, and internal peace was in large measure restored.[59]

Towards the end of her rule, there was an event that exarcebated the division between the central government and other factions: the murder of Jehan (or Jan) van Dadizeele, on 20 October 1481. At the time, there were angry accusations against Maximilian and Filips van Horne (1421-1488),Lord of Gaasbeek, one of his closest counsellors.[60][61]In 2023, a letter written by Frederik van Horn and preserved at theGelders Archief(found by Haemers and van Driel) shows that van Horn was the person who committed the murder. According to van Horn, after the murder of Dadizeele, Mary wrote a letter to him, declaring that Dadizeele was a villain and a traitor who tried to replace her and Maximilian's faithful servants with the people he chose, as he saw fit, and that she would see the killing as revenge for herself. Haemers opines that she herself seemed to be preparing to kill Dadizeele (in the case van Horn was honest about Mary's letter – at the time, he was trying to justify his act and get a pardon), but in reality, was not the perpetrator. Ultimately, Mary chose to pardon and defend Frederik van Horn. This decision would later help to lead tothe Flemish revolts against Maximilian (1482–1492).[62]

Death and legacy

Austrian AmbassadorElisabeth Kornfeindcomments that the wedding was the moment "the ties between our countries were formed."[63][64]

In 1482, a falcon hunt in the woods nearWijnendale Castlewas organised byAdolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein,who lived in the castle. Mary loved riding and was hunting with Maximilian and knights of the court when her horse tripped, threw her in a ditch, and then landed on top of her, breaking her back. She died several weeks later on 27 March from internal injuries, having made a detailed will. She was buried in theChurch of Our Lady in Brugeson 3 April 1482. She was pregnant.[a]

Maximilian was devastated. She had initially hidden the extent of her injury to calm him down. When he continued to display uncontrollable grief, she had to force him out of her chamber so that she could discuss matters of the state with her nobles, concerning which she asked them to keep their loyalty oath to him and their children. Maximilian was not present when she said her last words.[67][68]

The bankrupted court honoured her with a glorious funeral, as Maximilian melted down the silverware for the occasion.[69]

Her two-year-old daughter,Margaret of Austria,was sent in vain to France, to marry the Dauphin, in an attempt to please Louis XI and persuade him not to invade the territories owned by Mary.

Louis was swift to re-engage hostilities with Maximilian and forced him to agree to theTreaty of Arras of 1482,by whichFranche-ComtéandArtoispassed for a time to French rule, only to be recovered by theTreaty of Senlisof 1493, which established peace in the Low Countries. Mary's marriage into the House of Habsburg proved to be a disaster for France because the Burgundian inheritance later brought it into conflict with Spain and theHoly Roman Empire.

In 1493, Emperor Frederick III died. Maximilian became thede factoleader of the Empire and relinquished control of the Netherlands to his and Mary's son Philip. By this time, rebellions against Maximilian's authority had been subdued by force and a strong ducal monarchy was established. He made sure that during their son's inauguration, Philip confirmed only the rights granted to territories by the time of Philip the Good.[70]

Olga Karaskova summarizes scholarly opinions on Mary's rule as follows:

Mary of Burgundy as ruler seems to be rather a non sequitur topic for a study as her short reign — sandwiched between those more important of her belligerent father, Charles the Bold, and her imposing spouse, Maximilian of Austria — is often marginalized by researchers. A somewhat ambiguous figure, whose image hovers somewhere in the space limited by two opposing concepts — an inexperienced and weak duchess, a mere pawn in the great political game played between France and the Holy Roman Empire, and a self-determined young princess who knew what she wanted and managed to dictate her will, praised by her biographers, Mary still remains generally in the shade of her nearest kinsmen despite the abundant publications concerning the Duchy of Burgundy.[71]

In 2019, she was added to theCanon of the Netherlands.The committee headed byJames Kennedyexplained that, "her Habsburg marriage determined the international position of the Netherlands for centuries." and that "her personality and the leniency of her government" preserved "the unity of the core regions of the Burgundian Netherlands.", even if most of the functions of the head of state were carried out by the energetic husband.[72][73]

Maximilian tended to describe Mary as the Grand Dame, who could stand next to him as sovereigns.[74][75]The devotion the people of the Low Countries had towards Mary (often idealized as earthly representation of the Virgin Mary) helped Maximilian, their children and the central government in the turbulent period following her death.[76][b]

Arts and legends under the rule of Mary, Maximilian and the Habsburgs

edit
Mary of Burgundy, portrait by the circle of Master of the Legend of Saint Madeleine (Maître de la Légende de sainte Madeleine), Château de Gaasbeek, c. 1530–40.[78]
  • TheFaustlegend is strongly based on a legend involving Mary, Maximilian and the priest, abbot and humanistJohannes Trithemius(1462–1516), who was suspected by many to be a necromancer. Through his 1507 account, Trithemius was the first author who mentioned the historical Doctor Faustus. Being summoned to the emperor's court in 1506 and 1507, he also helped to "prove" Maximilian's Trojan origins. In his 1569 edition of his Tischreden,Martin Lutherwrites about a magician and necromancer (understood to be Trithemius) who summonedAlexander the Greatand other ancient heroes, as well as the emperor's deceased wife Mary of Burgundy, to entertain Maximilian.[79]In his 1585 account,Augustin Lercheimer(1522–1603) writes that after Mary's death, Trithemius was summoned to console a devastated Maximilian. Trithemius conjured a shade of Mary, who looked exactly like her likeness when alive. Maximilian also recognized a birthmark on her neck, that only he knew about. He was distraughted by the experience though, and ordered Trithemius never to do it again. An anonymous account in 1587 modified the story into a less sympathetic version. The emperor becameCharles V,who, despite knowing about the risk of black magic, ordered Faustus to raise Alexander and his wife from death. Charles saw that the woman had a birthmark, that he had heard about.[80]Later, the woman in themost well-known storybecameHelen of Troy.[81]
19th century reproduction (by Julien Bernard Van der Plaetsen) of a 1507 fresco depicting Mary holding a falcon and the coat of arms of Burgundy with Maximilian. The couple stood as a pair of equals despite Maximilian's status as Emperor. The original work was created to celebrate Charles's status as the new Duke of Burgundy.[82]

In her lifetime, Mary's preferred symbols, which were often associated with her official image, were the falcon and the horse. Ann M.Roberts notes that the falcon seemed to be a substitute for the sword (which was used by her grandfather and father for their seals), that denoted her status and prowess and also seemingly equated her skills as a huntress with her husband's skills as a military leader.[83]Also according to Roberts, the posthumous portraits produced during her husband's later reign (which were much more numerous) show a completely different image: he tended to utilize the profile portraits that portrayed her as a young (with less personal features and only recognizable by her items, such as thehennin,the brocaded garment, necklaces and brooches), virtuous, pious, passive bride whose wealth he possessed and could do with as he wanted and for whom he constructed a mythology of romantic love between the two.[84]

Olga Karaskova also opines that the manner she was placed in the premier position and her seal superimposed on his in their seals seems to indicate the conception she had of herself and the way she wanted to be seen by her contemporaries.[85]During Maximilian's later reign, he commissioned numerous portrayals of Mary for various purposes. According to Karaskova, the symbol of the falcon did not disappear, but returned as Maximilian needed to assert his and their descendants' right of inheritance. In public portraits, the image of Mary holding a falcon returned once during the inauguration of Charles V. In addition, Maximilian commissioned portraits of Philip the Fair and Charles V holding falcons (thus establishing a connection between them and Mary), so he had to depend on the iconography created by Mary and associated with her, that had not been erased from the memory of their contemporaries. In theOld Prayer Book of Maximilian of Austria(l'Ancien livre de prières de Maximilien d'Autriche,1486, Vienne, ÖNB, Cod. 1907, f. 61v), there are the depiction of three falcons that seemingly symbolize Mary, Philip the Fair and Maximilian: Mary was with Philip while Maximilian was chasing another bird, symbolically protecting wife and child, next to the German eagle and the combined coat-of-arms of the Houses of Austria and Burgundy.[86]Maximilian also had a tendency to virtually "promote" Mary to the status of Empress in these posthumous portrayals: an image created by Jörg Kölderer in preparation for Mary's statue in Maximilian's cenotaph showed a coat-of-arms that incorporated her husband's symbols as King of the Romans or Holy Roman Emperor (that she could not have used in life).[87]

Mary of Burgundy chased bythe Death,from theBook of Hours of Mary and Maximilianin Berlin. Two of the men tried to escape while another, likely Maximilian, beckoned her to follow him but she took no notice.[88]

There was also a type of iconography created for the emperor's private use (instead of being used as a political declaration to the public), created by Bernhard Strigel: Mary, also presented in the imperial style as his empress, queen Ehrenreich and eternal companion, was shown with falcons outside the window and a hunting scene on her corsage, which seemed to imply courtly love and the days of happiness for the emperor. This iconography also seemed to be connected to the diptychPortrait of Emperor Maximilian and his familyby Bernhard Strigel (mentioned below).[89]

In theBook of Hours of Mary and Maximilian(Berlin, SM, Kupferstichkabinett, Ms. 78 B 12, f. 220v.), the falcon and the hunt scene were shown, not as display of political significance, but only tragedy. Karaskova suggests that the coincidence that combined the Duchess's favourite mode of portrayal and the manner of her death must have had an impact on the illustrator as well as the commissioner, in this case Maximilian.[90][91][92]According to the documentaryDer letzte RitterbyZweites Deutsches Fernsehen(ZDF), in his conversations with their daughter Margaret, the emperor associated the call of the falcon with "the blackest day of his life" (he remained a passionate falconer though – In his cenotaph, where there are also Mary's and his statues, the belt of Mary's grandfather, Philip the Good, displays the image of a male falconer and a female falconer).[75][93]

Portrait of Emperor Maximilian and his familyby Bernhard Strigel

Karaskova comments that the type of profile portraits that Roberts considers to be the products of Maximilian's preferences (which also presented her as youthful and wealthy) seemed to have existed and been copied since her lifetime and connected her to her ancestors, especially Philip the Bold, who also had such profile portraits.[94]After his marriage to Bianca Maria in 1494, Maximilian also presented himself with both of his wives simultaneously. There was a notable tendency, expressed most clearly in the representations of genealogical trees (one commissioned in 1497, and another ten years later): outwardly, the group looked united, but Maximilian turned his back on Bianca to face the mother of his children (Unterholzner also notes that Maximilian always concentrated on the children of his first marriage in terms of succession politics, despite the fact that this was very risky; later, as the mother of his only (legitimate) children, Mary of Burgundy only became more important).[95][96]

Right wing of the diptych by Jan Mostaert - Mary of Burgundy

Later, her children Philip and Margaret preferred to utilize the images of the undisputed dukes (which were shown in public spaces) instead of those of the disputed duchess to consolidate their rule, but that does not mean they displayed emotional disavowal towards her, as shown by the famous diptych commissioned by Margaret to commemorate her mother and created by Jan Mostaert in 1520.[97]Charles V, however, focused on his paternal ancestors, especially on Maximilian and Mary as true progenitors of his house.[98] The falcon also returned and her role as Duchess of Burgundy was also highlighted.[99]

  • The massive semi-autobiographical works (commissioned by Maximilian, who was also likely their main author[100]) like the epic poemsTheuerdankandFreydal,and the chivalric novelWeisskunigare in parts tribute to their love and marriage. As Queen Ehrenreich (Rich in Honour) inTheuerdank,Mary urged the knight Theuerdank (Noble Thought, alter ego of Maximilian) to go on a crusade.[101]

Even during her lifetime, she became the centre of a cult that associated her with the Virgin Mary. It was not unusual for young women to be associated with the Virgin back then, but the similarity in their name made it easier and more provoking in the case of Mary. After her death, both Maximilian and her Burgundian subjects dedicated much artworks and propaganda to this cult.

Folio 14v: The Virgin in a church with Mary of Burgundy at her devotions
  • In theBook of Hours of Mary of Burgundy(1477), which was commissioned for her (likely first by Margaret of York and then by Maximilian, who as a new husband or new father, began to celebrate his wife and son as the images of the Virgin and Jesus),[102]the Virgin has a notable role. An image that attracts scholarly debate is the portrayal of Mary sitting at a window-ledge imagining or having a mystical vision in which she herself and her ladies in waiting kneeling before the Virgin and the infant Christ. The Virgin here is the pivot of overlapping devotional function of the Book and the rosary.[103]This is also an early example of the association between Mary of Burgundy and the Virgin Mary. Natalie Harris Bluestone opines that even though this association started during her lifetime, it seemed to be motivated by others.[104]Glenn Burger remarks that, "bringing the bodily Mary of Burgundy alongside her imagined devotional self and her spiritual counterpart, the Virgin Mary, moves us beyond things as they are into a teleological mode of reading that stabilizes temporal and spatial relations in ideologically satisfying ways."[105][106]The motif of the dog, later seen many times in depictions of Mary and Maximilian (together or separately), for example as part of her sarcophagus or in Maximilian's First Prayer Book, also seemed to first appeared here.[107]

Noa Turel argues that Mary and her step-mother Margaret of York did willingly join the courtly "theater of devotion" that cast Margaret as Saint Anne and Mary as the Virgin, which are demonstrated by their actions and their self-insertions in the manuscripts associated with the Baptism of Philip the Fair (whose claims to territories through matrilineal inheritance would be strengthened through this association, which also cast him as the infant Jesus).[108]Turel opines that the reason the chroniclerOlivier de la Marcheonly offered a brief description of this important event was that asPremier maître d'hôtel,he likely had to accompany Maximilian to the battlefield at the time of the baptism.[109]

Death of the Virgin,orDying Mary of Burgundy,1518, byAlbrecht Dürer[110]
  • InJean Molinet'sLe naufrage de la Pucelle(1477), the Pucelle was an allegory of both the Virgin Mary and Mary of Burgundy. With the death of her father, the Pucelle was left in charge of their ship, which was attacked by whales and other sea monsters that represented France. Her companion Cœur Leal consoled her by the examples of warrior women likeSemiramis,Zenobia,ArtemisiaorJoan of Arc.He emphasized, though, the story of theManekinebyJean Wauquelin,who overcame her circumstance by passive resistance to suffering. Here passive resistance was portrayed in a good light, as Molinet linked it to the stable time under Mary's grandfatherPhilip the Good,who in Molinet's works was often contrasted withCharles the Bold,whose reign brought Burgundy to ruin. Finally, an eagle (symbol of Maximilian) appeared and saved the ship.[111][112]When Molinet depicted them as pagan deities, like inBergier sans Soulas(1485), Mary was portrayed as Lune (Moon, Diana), Maximilian was Apollon, Phoebus, Titan or King of Ilion, Philip was Jupiter, Margaret of Austria was Venus, while the King of France was Pan and the King of England was Neptune.[113][114]

The motif of the Virgin and the Eagle would be seen again during Maximilian's "joyous entry" into Antwerp (1478), on one of the tableaux the city presented him. An eagle was shown offering his own blood to the maiden. The symbol for both Antwerp and Burgundy was also a virgin, while the eagle was the symbol of the House of Habsburg. The Antwerp (later, his loyal ally in his later turbulent regency) community seemed to welcome Maximilian as their saviour, but also wanted to subtly remind him of limits to his powers and his responsibilities as ruler together with Mary.[115]

  • In one ofAlbrecht Dürer's most famous works, theFeast of the Rosary,the Virgin Mary (representation of Mary of Burgundy) was depicted holding the infant Jesus (representation ofPhilip the Fair) while placing a rosary on the head of a kneeling Maximilian. When the Fraternity of the Rosary was established in 1475 in Cologne, Maximilian and his father Frederick III were present and among the earliest members. Already in 1478, inLe chappellet des dames,Molinet, as the Burgundy court chronicler, placed a symbolic rosary on the head of Mary of Burgundy.[119]Similarly, in 1518, one year before the emperor's own death, under the order ofZlatko, Bishop of Vienna,Dürer paintedThe death of the Virgin,which was also the scene of the deathbed of Mary of Burgundy, with Maximilian, Philip of Spain, Zlatko and other notables around the couch. Philip was presented as a young St. John while Maximilian bowed down as one of the Apostles. The work was last seen in the 1822 sale of the Fries collection.[120][121]
  • The famous diptych of Maximilian's extended family (after 1515), painted byBernhard Strigel,labels Mary of Burgundy as "Mary Cleophas, believed to be sister of the Virgin Mary" while Maximilian was labeled as Cleophas, brother of Joseph.[122]This painting was likely commissioned to commemorate the 1516 double wedding (between House of Habsburg and House of Hungary) and then bequeathed to the scholarJohannes Cuspinianas a sign of imperial favour (it would become part of his family altar).[123]
  • TheAlamire manuscript VatS 160,a choir book sent to PopeLeo Xas a gift likely by a member of Burgundian-Habsburg family or a person close to Maximilian, contains numerous references to the connection between the Virgin Mary and Mary of Burgundy. For example, the workMissa Ave regina celorumby the composerJacob Obrecht(d.1505) is a tribute to both the Virgin Mary and Mary of Burgundy. Here, Mary became the deceased heavenly Mother, Friend and Queen of Emperor Maximilian.[124]

Later depictions

edit
  • Mary was the main character in the 1674 novelHistoire secrète de Marie de BourgognebyCharlotte-Rose de Caumont de La Force.The work was a part of the era's literary fairy tale vogue, which was welcomed enthusiastically by contemporaries.[125]
  • In the nineteenth century, together with her grandsonCharles V,the paintersHans MemlingandJan van Eyck,Mary became a powerful national symbol of Belgium, representing an era in which "the national interest was perceived to have flourish". The depictions had a local dimension as well, showing the particular cities as "receiving the great and the good".[126]A popular trope was the scene of Mary visiting Memling (which Graham and Wintle compare to the relationship between Maximilian I and Dürer in German imagination, or betweenthe Princess of Orangeand Bartholomeus van der Helst as depicted by Dutch artists. The first painter who depicted this scene wasNicaise de Keyserin 1847, followed by Eduoard Wallays in the 1860s (in both cases, the scene of the visit was the Hospital of Saint John).[127]

  • InHieronymus Rides: Episodes in the Life of a Knight and Jester at the Court of Maximilian, King of the Romans,a 1912 novel, written byAnna Coleman Ladd,Mary was once loved by the jester and knight Hieronymus, who served his half-brother Maximilian.[132][133]
  • There are two paintings involving Mary and Maximilian among the principal historical paintings of the painterAnton Petter(1791 – 1858): one isDer Einzug Kaiser Maximilians I.in Gent(1822, Belvedere, Wien) in which Mary presented their son to her husband and the other isKaiser Maximilian I und Maria von Burgundwhich describes their meeting.(1813, Joanneum at Graz).[134][135]

  • There is a huge mural (created in 2019) in the centre of Bruges, namedMaria Van Bourgondië(by Jeremiah Persyn), with Mary of Burgundy, still remembered as a strong and gentle ruler, as the central character, depicted as a Jesus-like figure with symbols of great religions, while Maximilian, whose rule coincided (and contributed to) the beginning of the 500-year decline of Bruges, is in the guise of the Brugge Fool (‘’Brugse Zot’’, the symbol of Bruges), riding a swan and holding ahalfmoon.Other symbols of Bruges like the Basilica of Holy Blood and the Church of Our Lady are also featured.[147][148][149]

Notes

edit
  1. ^Jansen states Mary died pregnant with her third child, however Hand states Mary had three children by 1481.[65][66]
  2. ^"The devotion of the Seven Sorrows very cleverly played upon the popular sentiments of war-weariness and Burgundian patriotism by encouraging worshippers to fuse the image of the Virgin Mary mourning for her only son with that of the late duchess Mary of Burgundy.[...] In a vernacular privilege issued in 1511 by Maximilian and his grandson Charles to the confraternity of the Seven Sorrows in Brussels it was related: 'How during the tribulation and discord that came to our Low Countries soon after the decease of...lady Mary of Burgundy...the devout confraternity of the Seven Sorrows of Our Blessed Lady the mother of God sprang up and arose, to which many good people immediately adhered in protection of us, Maximilian, of our children and for the common welfare of our territories; and they had such a devotion for it that...by virtue of the aforementioned mother of God...were ended all the afore mentioned tribulations and discord and were united our subjects in good obedience and concord.'[77]

In the book of hours, the figures of the two Marys are conflated severaltimes in a variety of ways (fols. 14v, 19v, 43v, 94v, 99v). The hymn in praise of the heavenly joys of the Virgin Mary, which is organically related to the frontispiece image, is thus (also) a chanted sequence for the eternal beatitude of the young bride."
