De Blijde Inkomst (1356) is one of the most important documents of Brabant’s medieval history. It concerned a series of binding agreements between the Duke of Brabant and the towns of Brabant. De Blijde Inkomst had a major impact on the Duchy of Brabant and political rebellions in later centuries. From the inauguration of Duke Anton of Burgundy (1384-1415) in 1406 until the reign of the Habsburg Emperor Joseph II (1741-1790), rulers in Brabant routinely took the oath of allegiance to the Blijde Inkomst.
The Duchy of Brabant formed, from the mid-medieval period until the nineteenth century, a territory in the Low Countries that was owned and governed by feudal lords of the German emperor, the French king or emperor, or the archbishopric of Cologne. Over the centuries, an important and influential administrative and cultural unit in the Low Countries developed here.
