About the Author

Robert Stein completed his PhD thesis on Medieval Brabantine Chronicles in the fifteenth century at Leiden University in 1994. After having fulfilled various research positions at Leiden University and the Fryske Akademy, he became Lecturer in Medieval History at Leiden University in 2001. Stein has published extensively on the medieval historiography of the Low Countries and the development of medieval collective identities. His current research focusses on the
unification of the Burgundian Netherlands and the related 'culture of accountability'.
