 H-Net Review: Len Scales on In the Shadow of Burgundy: The Court of Guelders in the Late Middle Ages
Nijsten's intention, to reconstruct in its varied contexts and manifestations the court culture of the late medieval duchy of Guelders (1377-1473), seems naturally to point towards a study focused on cultural ties to the duchy's wealthy, magnificent and trend-setting neighbor in the west.
Guelders was the first Lower Rhenish court to gain (during the first half of the fifteenth century) a choir--though Flanders, Holland and Brabant all had one earlier.
Guelders boasted for much of the later Middle Ages, by German standards, remarkably advanced institutions of government and administration--the legacy of a period of Flemish domination.

 Les Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry
According to the accounts of the Duchy of Burgundy, the goldsmith sent the boys home "pour cause de la mortalité" ("because of the plague") raging in Paris in 1399.
Unfortunately, their driver set out by way of Brussels, torn at the time by the conflict between Brabant and Guelders, and as a result the young artists were thrown into prison.
After six months, local goldsmiths and painters put up bail of 55 écus for the boys, and, out of consideration for their uncle, the Duc de Bourgogne matched this sum on May 2, 1400 so the prisoners might reimburse their vouchers.
