To this day, the power and glory of the Dukes of Burgundy and the House of Hapsburg is bound with the Order of the Golden Fleece. Founded at the beginning of the 15th century, all the great names of the time, many kings and even emperors, were counted among the knights and sovereigns of the order. Housed in the Instituto de Valencia de Don Juan in Madrid is a splendid 16th century #manuscript with the statutes of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The #codex is exceedingly richly and splendidly illustrated with numerous escutcheons of the knights of the Order and a few full-page portraits of the first five Grandmasters. Simon Bening, the most significant miniaturist of 16th century Flanders, is considered to be the artist responsible for the high-quality #miniatures. In this way, the manuscripts offer a glimpse in the fascinating world of the Order of the Golden Fleece during the first two centuries of its existence, the high time of the order!
