Abstract

The court of Charles V (1500–1558), King of Spain, Holy Roman Emperor and Duke of Burgundy, emerged in the early years of the 16th century as one of the most significant political centres of its time. Documents emanating from the court have recently emerged that clarify the leadership of Charles’s Capilla Flamenca; they date the tenures of Gombert, Thiebault, Crecquillon, Canis and Payen more precisely than previous studies; and they determine the roles of maître de la chapelle and maître des enffans during various stages of Charles’s reign.
