The Armorial of the Golden Fleece is a manuscript of the statutes of the Order of the Golden Fleece and the names and coats of arms of its members, a group of nobles who served as advisors to Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. The celebrated Flemish artist Simon Bening illuminated the sumptuous volume in Bruges around 1540. If a payment to Bening in 1538 is for this book, Philippe Nigri, chancellor of the order, commissioned it. It includes ten full-page portraits of the order's grand masters and hundreds of coats of arms.

International social justice movements and the debates that ensued prompted us to start considering the contents of our website from a critical point of view. This has led us to acknowledge that most of the texts in our database are Western-centered. We have asked the authors of our content to be aware of the underlying racial and cultural bias in many scholarly sources, and to try to keep in mind multiple points of view while describing the manuscripts. We also recognize that this is yet a small, first step towards fighting inequality.

If you notice any trace of racist or unjust narratives in our communications, please help us be part of the change by letting us know.
