Ascension sociale dans le duché de Luxembourg : possibilités, ambitions et limites. Le cas des Busleyden (fin XVe-XVIe siècles) [Social rise in the Duchy of Luxembourg : possibilities, ambitions and limits. The case of the Busleyden family (late 15th to 16th century)]
The Busleyden family offers a unique case for the study of the duchy of Luxembourg’s political society in the 15th and 16th centuries. It stands out both by its close links with central government and by the relative wealth of sources that allows an in-depth study. This article focuses on the careers of family members within the duchy and shows how they rose to the highest echelons of the Burgundian-Habsburg state and the benefits they received in return. The Busleydens were able to adapt ingeniously to external circumstances, which allowed them to amass wealth and power. They maintained friendly, professional and economic relations in the high political society of the duchy. Their language skills as well as their university education helped them in this endeavour.

Le Liber feodorum du comté de Luxembourg (début XIVe siècle). Archéologie d’un cartulaire princier [The Liber feodorum of the county of Luxembourg (early 14th century). Archaeology of a princely cartulary]
This contribution is a reassessment of the first princely cartulary of the county of Luxembourg, a composite manuscript including three sections: a Liber feodorum, containing the copies of feudal charters kept in the count’s archives, an administrative list of the county’s incomes, both dating back to the beginning of the 14th century, as well as a list of revenues relating to the marquisate of Arlon, compiled at the end of the 15th century.
Although this manuscript has attracted a fair amount of attention from scholars, starting with F.-X. Wurth-Paquet and N. van Werveke in the 19th century, it was still in need of a systematic codicological investigation. This study is completed by a palæographical analysis of the Liber feodorum, which shows the involvement of fourteen scribes. Some of them appear to have also been active not only for the counts of Luxembourg, but also for other Luxembourgish jurisdictions (the Justicier des Nobles, the city authorities) during the first half of the 14th century.

Von Uhren und Glocken. Zeitmessung und Klangwelt in der mittelalterlichen Stadt Luxemburg [About clocks and bells. Horology and soundscapes in the medieval town of Luxembourg]
The first clock in the city of Luxembourg is mentioned in 1390: it was erected on the top of the main gate, which was rebuilt at the end of the 15th century and can be considered as a real belfry. The second clock dates from the beginning of the 15th century and was fixed at the spire of St-Michel’s church. The municipal accounts allow precise insight into the technology of these clocks and the art of the craftsmen, partially hired from abroad, who were in charge of attending to them, as well as to the bells set in motion by the clocks. The article ends with an overview of the other bells forming the public urban soundscape, and stresses the innovative character of a public clock for social and economic life in a medieval town.
