OBJECT / HISTORY

Historical basis

The Order of the Golden Fleece was founded in Burgundy in 1430. When Maximilian I married Mary of Burgundy in 1477, he became its sovereign; he was formally admitted in 1478. Portraits later showed him wearing its insignia. This collar draws on that history, rather than reproducing any specific collar he wore.
