Historical background
AUSTRIAN NETHERLANDS - COUNTY OF FLANDERS - PHILIP THE HANDSOME
Philippe had inherited Flanders from his mother Marie de Bourgogne, who died in 1482. It was his father, Maximilian of Austria, who administered his possessions until 1494 and it was Charles VIII who authorized, by virtue of a ordinance dated January 16, 1487, the manufacture of coins in Ghent. The city revolted against the authority of the Habsburgs for five years until the Pacification of Ghent in 1492.
