Abstract:

This contribution to the Festschrift of Prof. G. Gornig sheds light on a famous 18th century manuscript on the institutional structure of the Austrian Low Countries. I first illustrate the author's unique position (I), before delving into the issues of allegiance, taxation and consent (II).

Thanks to student-reseachers Max Van den Bosch and Senne De Kerpel, as well as to Leen Elewaut for help with Transkribus and proofreading.
