From root to crown: discover the tale of the Golden Tree
The Pageant of the Golden tree recounts the history of Bruges and the county of Flanders, with at the centre the marriage of Margaret of York and count Charles the Bold.
This marriage later entered the history books as the most spectacular marriage to ever take place in Bruges: from banquets with rare foods to wealthy delegations from all over Europe and the ‘Passage of Arms of the Golden Tree’ – to which the Pageant of the Golden Tree owes its name today.
Meet Margaret, imagine you’re at the most important wedding of the Middle Ages, and delve into the legend of the Golden Tree!
