In this illuminating study, Andrew Brown draws on the rich and previously little-researched archives of Bruges, one of medieval Europe's wealthiest and most important towns, to explore the role of religion and ceremony in urban society. The author situates the religious practices of citizens - their investment in the liturgy, commemorative services, guilds and charity - within the contexts of Bruges' highly diversified society and of the changes and crises the town experienced. Focusing on the religious processions and festivities sponsored by the municipal government, the author challenges much current thinking on, for example, the nature of 'civic religion'. Re-evaluating the ceremonial links between Bruges and its rulers, he questions whether rulers could dominate the urban landscape by religious or ceremonial means, and offers new insight into the interplay between ritual and power of relevance throughout medieval Europe.Civic Ceremony & Religion in Medieval Bruges c.1300-1520Civil religionBelgiumBrugesRites and ceremoniesBelgiumBrugesBruges (Belgium)ReligionBruges (Belgium)Religious life and customsBruges (Belgium)Church historyCivil religionRites and ceremonies264/.020909493122Brown Andrew1964-280957UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910459269603321Civic ceremony and religion in medieval Bruges c.1300-15202463929UNINA
