		Flemish weavers had gone over to Worstead and North Walsham in Norfolk in the 12th century and established the woollen industry.
		The Flemish Region has a population of around 6 million (excluding the Dutch-speaking community in the Brussels Capital region, which is not a part of the Flemish region).
		Mirroring the historical political conflicts between the freethought and Catholic segments of the population, the Flemish educational system is split into a laïque branch controlled by the communities, the provinces, or the municipalities, and a subsidised religious—mostly Catholic—branch controlled by both the communities and the religious authorities—usually the dioceses.

		Occurrences such as the expansion of Polish to the Carpathian barrier or the restriction of Flemish to the lowland of northwestern central Europe cannot be attributed to mere haphazard.
		Flemish, on the other hand, is a Germanic language which spread over Belgian lowlands as naturally as the Nieder-deutsch dialects to which it is related had invaded the plains of northern Europe.

		Located in a prime position between the Holy Roman Empire and the North Sea (present-day northern Belgium), the urban centers of the region were surpassed in population only by the city-states of central and northern Italy.
		This positioning afforded the Flemish citizens of the region great prosperity and they formed guilds to protect their rights, regulate their working hours and standardize their wages.
		This is the first major English—language study of the historic 14th century battle between the French and the Flemish, a conflict whose repercussions linger in modern Belgium.

	Franco-Flemish harpsichord consultantion by Grant O'Brien (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		This harpsichord was sent from Brazil for examination and study by me, and for the preparation of a series of reports on its authenticity, condition and suitability for restoration.
		A careful examination of the instrument has revealed that it was originally a Flemish 'transposing' double-manual harpsichord but, despite the ‘HR’ rose in the soundboard, there is a great deal of evidence which shows that it was not by any of the members of the Ruckers/Couchet family.
		There are clear indications that the original seventeenth-century Flemish instrument was enlarged in the eighteenth century to convert it into the standard model 'grand ravalement' 5-octave instrument.

	Harpsichord: Flemish Double (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Ever since its inception at Zuckermann this instrument has been called the "Flemish Double." More accurately, it should be called the "Franco-Flemish Double," since it represents a version of a 17th-century Flemish harpsichord as modernized by an 18th-century French builder.
		This instrument is decorated in the French style, but the French maker would have left the Flemish papers and the Ruckers-style soundboard painting, both of which proclaim the all-important Flemish heritage.
		I used the damping system found almost universally on Flemish and French harpsichords, where the 4' and back 8' strings have dampers that contact the strings from the side, rather than flag dampers that sit on the strings.

		A Flemish composer of whom very little is known, yet who was obviously very highly regarded in his time.
		He combined the rhythmic energy characteristic of the early 15th century with the lyrical imitative counterpoint coming into vogue in the years after 1450, these must be counted among the most engaging works of the period.
		This Flemish composer was a papal singer in 1487-88; later worked as choirmaster at the brilliant Hungarian court at Buda.

		As we listen, we sense that a tremendous phenomenon is underway: music is being taken over by a tight cadre of composers from the Low Countries, particularly the Flemish regions of France and Belgium.
		The earliest Flemish masters, Guillaume Dufay and Johannes Ockeghem, borrowed the English innovations and wrote masses that took on the splendor and solidity of Gothic cathedrals.
		To make another analogy, the spatial effects of Flemish Renaissance music seem to parallel the meticulous landscapes that appeared in the background of portraits by Van Eyck and Memling.

		This nearly lifesize statue represents the theological virtue of love in its most familiar guise, as Charity with her children.
		It was long attributed to the French sculptor Germain Pilon but does not have the rigorous linearity of the French school and is more likely to be Flemish.
		Alabaster was greatly favored as a medium in the Low Countries, where Mannerist sculptors must surely have relished the stone's contribution to their softly rounded, mellow characterizations, whether large- or small-scale compositions.

		However, several regional languages (including Alsatian, Basque, Breton, Caribbean Creole, Catalan, Corsican, Flemish, Franco-Provençal dialects, Gascon, Lorraine German dialect, Occitan, and some Oïl dialects - e.g., Picard) are also occasionally understood and spoken, mostly by elderly people, but the French government and public school system discouraged the use of any of them until recently.
		These historical regional languages have been known as patois, though this has been considered depreciative.

	HOASM: Thomas Crecquillon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Became director of music to Charles V's chapel at Brussels in about 1544, and was later a prebendary in various Flemish towns-Louvain, Namur, Termonde and finally Béthune.
		He wrote some sixteen Masses, 116 motets, 192 chansons, five French psalms and Lamentations.
		In sacred music Crecquillon often matched musical to verbal expression, using harsh dissonance to create tension (the 5-part set of Lamentations shows this well, despite its major mode), but his smooth vocal line and command of sonority are equally impressive.

	Capella Alamire vocal ensemble
		A name was chosen during the first year: "Alamire" was not only the term used to solmize (to sing on sol-fa syllables) the pitch A, but was also the pseudonym of a Flemish music scribe employed by the Habsburg court, c.1500.
		Petrus Alamire and his workshop produced some 50 presentation manuscripts that remain central sources for the transmission of the music of Josquin and his contemporaries.
		Early Music (UK) proclaimed, "This is a feast indeed." Ockeghem created music of incomparable spiritual purity and technical perfection.
