Edition Details: Article in a special issue, “Le Corps du Prince”
Language: French
At war, the duke of Burgundy had to show himself as a knight, as an army leader and as a prince with a political and military authority. His appearance should reflect all these roles, as well as his wealth and power. Therefore, he had to carry the best weapons, to wear the best armors and to ride the strongest and the most beautiful horses. His armed body was an image of his status; this image was reproduced on seals and on coins and described by chroniclers. It became an allegory of the ducal power. In the field, the duke was also distinguished by other visual signs. The coat of arms was used to identify him among the lords and knights of the army. Three flags (the banner, the standard and the pennant) where carried next to him to localize his place in the order of battle. Of course, such a signalization had a disadvantage and the prince's body could become a target for the blows of the enemy.
