In partnership with the Medici Archive Project, the War Heritage Institute of Brussels is organizing a two-day international workshop on the history of the Army of Flanders (1567-1706), arguably the largest multinational European standing army since Roman times, as well as the linchpin of the Spanish Habsburgs’ continental strategy for almost a century.
The workshop will bring together various experts to begin the process of reassessing and redefining the place of the Army of Flanders within the framework of modern scholarship, gathering scattered documentation and identifying new research sites, methodologies, and tools needed to realize its full scientific and public potential.
