Summary
This is the anointed Emperor
This is the one who was foretold
This is the true lord
who will bring us peace
Therefore let his joyful advent
now be praised.
So begins Hugo Soly's essay in a definitive study of Charles V published in the year 2000 on the 500th anniversary of the emperor's birth. As this ‘message from Bologna’ decrees, Charles's ‘advent’ would be praised in painting, sculpture, poetry, and with sumptuous ceremonies enhanced by music. The repertory which celebrated the important events in Charles's reign is listed in Table 5.1.
1507–17: THE EARLY YEARS IN THE NETHERLANDS
Charles spent most of the first 15 years of his life in Mechelen at the court of Margaret of Austria, regent of the Netherlands. However, in those early years, several important occasions of state took him to other cities in the Low Countries. At ceremonies in Brussels on 18 July 1507 he was crowned Duke of Burgundy, Count of Flanders, and, on the following day, King of Castile. During a visit to Antwerp in 1508 he was proclaimed Margrave of the Holy Roman Empire. In October 1513 he journeyed to Tournai and Lille to meet King Henry VIII of England, and in the weeks that followed he toured throughout the Low Countries, officially visiting the cities of Kortrijk, Peterchem les-Deynze, Ghent, Loo, Eecloo, and Dendermonde. His arrival back at Mechelen was recorded on 26 November of that same year.
