“…These are summarized accounts based on the more detailed books of accounts and receipts of the Lille Chamber of Accounts, now in the Archives Départementales du Nord at Lille. The only previous studies exploiting this source are De Jonge (1999) and De Jonge (2000). 4 The construction accounts allow the establishment of an organigram of spaces for the main building, which is then circumscribed by using the true dimensions; iconographical sources help refine the reconstruction (De Jonge 1991).…”

The so-called Prince's Court at Bruges was one of the main residences of the dukes of Burgundy during the 15th century. At the end of the 14th century it had been renovated by Philip the Bold, after which several, sometimes major, adjustments were made, most of them commissioned by his grandson's wife Isabella of Portugal. This essay seeks to reconstruct the ducal apartments at the core of the mid-15th century residence, while exploring the different construction phases from 1395 until 1468, the year of the marriage festivities of Philip the Good's son Charles the Bold and Margaret of York. As has been shown before, life at the Burgundian court was regulated by a complex set of rules, reflected in the spatial organization of the residence. Ceremonial space thus constituted the common ground between residences from different Burgundian lands, such as Flanders (Bruges, Ghent, and Lille) and Brabant (Brussels), from different urban contexts, and with different building histories. This particular aspect of court architecture, however, proves difficult to capture in words. Our essay explores the possibilities offered by computer-aided design software to visualize and test different hypotheses, chiefly based on a close examination of the surviving accounts. Because of the many uncertainties concerning individual building phases, a complete historical phase model of the Bruges case is impossible, but the main stages of construction can now be defined with greater certainty, and the spatial sequence underlying the ducal apartments, as completed by 1468, can be reconstructed.

“…The dukes of Burgundy invested in ambitious building programmes in both cities, although their structures were for private use. 36 Often neighbourhoods played an important role in channelling both the demand for public works projects and the realization of this demand. The municipal accounts reveal that the town magistrates sometimes shared the financial burden of an investment in public infrastructure with the neighbourhood concernedusually following the initiative of the neighbourhood itself.…”

Though the phrase 'public services' is a nineteenth-century invention, which was supported by a developed rhetoric of political economy, this article shows that the concept, practice and supply of such services could also be found in the medieval city. It specifically analyses three areas of urban service provision: jurisprudence and legal security, infrastructure and finally health care and poor relief. Although the available sources tend to stress the involvement of municipal authorities in providing public services, it turns out that in fact the furnishing of services was highly multi-layered. In all three areas studied, a wide range of public and private institutions offered services to specific groups within late medieval urban society. In contrast to what the notion of 'public services' lets us presume, however, public services in the medieval city were not available to all inhabitants. Instead, the provision of services was usually quite restrictive, and targeted particular groups in society.The allocation of public services in late medieval towns was as multilayered as urban society itself. Because not only the urban government, but also the court, the church and voluntary associations of citizens could organize public services in the medieval cities, both the provision of public services and people's eligibility to use those services were highly fragmented and multi-layered in the medieval city. Several institutions provided comparable services within the same geographical area. For example, a survey of welfare provision (one of the hallmarks of the city as Caroline Barron has called it) in late medieval London shows that this relief was secured by a series of measures, of which some were provided by the city corporately, some by religious houses, some by fraternities and
