CONTEXT

ABSTRACT

This work was originally divided in two parts. The first part, De etymologia Brabantia, is lost. The second part is entitled Genealogia ducum Brabantiae. In hundred chapters all prominents of the royal house and the saints of Brabant are dealt with. The work ends with the life of Philip the Good. The whole work is strongly "nationalist".
