As long as we're talking fealty and oaths, here are two interesting documents that the early modern / Northern Renaissance types amongst us might enjoy: 1. An English translation of Charles V's 1515 confirmation of the privileges of his subjects: http://www1.umassd.edu/euro/resources/netherlands/2.pdf 2. An account of the ritual and procession of Phillip II's 1549 "Joyous Entry" into Antwerp: https://www.jstor.org/stable/20169139 (You'll need an account or to know someone who does!)
