This article is an attempt to contest current views about the nature of the Burgundian ‘theatre‐state’ in the fifteenth century. The term itself may slightly misapply Clifford Geertz's idea of ‘theatre‐state’; and it is also a model in which continual confrontation is implicit, with Flemish townsmen pitted against a centralizing and oppressive Valois court. However, Charles the Bold's involvement with the guild of Our Lady of the Snow, which flourished in the late fifteenth century, might suggest that the Burgundian dukes, far from imposing unwanted ceremonies on Bruges, were involving themselves in spectacles which emerged unbidden from the urban environment. Continual engagement, rather than occasional confrontation, with civic spectacles provided the dukes with opportunities for the theatrical exercise of power. It was this engagement with civic religious life which marked them out from other contemporary princes and from their Habsburg successors.
