The Construction Accounts of the Hôtel Ducal of Dijon

The ducal palace of Dijon benefits from important archives documenting its construction and maintenance from 1350 to 1477. The main construction sites, such as the new dwelling, were the object of separate accounting. General maintenance was the responsibility of the receiver of the bailiwick, who had to account for all expenses in a register submitted to the chambers of accounts. A few original receipts that have been preserved help us understand the process of drawing up these accounts.
