Abstract
Margaret of Austria (1480–1530), Regent of the Burgundian Low Countries, was not only one of the most powerful women of her time, but developed her court in Malines into one of the most important cultural centres of Western Europe. Situated on the French and German linguistic border, Malines/Mechelen was destined to become a melting pot of cultural influences. The present study examines Margaret’s literary interests and discusses the role and function of German literature at her French speaking court, focusing particularly on the newly discovered French translation of Maximilian’s Theuerdank which was made for her in 1528.
