WHEN THE GOLDEN FLEECE BLAZED
In distant times,
in the history of our country,
when our dukedom lived,
free and independent,
Burgundy was the most,
powerful country in Europe.
In 1430 the year of grace,
an order was created
By our Duke Phillpe,
our golden fleece was born,
on the legend of Jason it was based,
carried by our valiant knights
On all fronts,
it was glorified
When the golden fleece blazed,
Burgundy was free.
When the golden fleece blazed,
Burgundy lived with honour
On all fronts,
it was glorified
Charles Le Te Me Raire,
ever in his last battle,
wore it with courage.
Charles Quint worshipped it
