In 1582, Francis of France, Duke of Anjou and proclaimed 'Duke of Bravante' thanks to William of Orange's strategies against Philip II, made his triumphal entry into Antwerp. The city organised a magnificent festive display with an illumination for which hundreds of torches and pyramid-shaped structures with barrels were set up along the route and in the main square, from which flames and fireworks emerged, spreading an intense smell throughout the city.
