\nThis lecture will focus on the legitimation of female rulership in the late 15th- and the early 16th-Habsburg Low Countries. During this period, the Low Countries were ruled by two women: Duchess Mary of Burgundy (r. 1477\u20131482) as sovereign ruler, and her daughter Margaret of Austria as governor general (1507\u20131515, 1519\u20131530). The context and the characteristics of these two rulerships were very different. Mary\u2019s rule was contested by the king of France. She counterattacked by claiming that she was the sole heir of her father Duke Charles the Bold and therefore the only natural sovereign of her lands. Margaret of Austria ruled as governor general by delegation of her nephew Charles V\u2019s sovereignty. She legitimated her position by relying on a very specific conception of power that characterised dynastic rulership: shared sovereignty.
