Référence à Marie de Bourgogne (1457-1482), née à Bruxelles, fille du Duc de Bourgogne et grand-mère de Charles Quint. C'est à sa mort qu'on considère en Belgique que notre histoire a basculé des Pays-Bas bourguignons vers les Pays-Bas espagnols. Ex. rue de Bruxelles (remark in French, as published)
