Dvcvm Brabantiae chronica is a 1600 chronicle of the Dukes of Brabant, printed in Antwerp at the Plantin office by Jan Moretus, drawing on earlier histories by Adriaan van Baarland and Melchior van Baerle. Its engraved portraits show the rulers as armoured figures, each standing with sword, shield, helmet or sceptre beside heraldic arms, castles, and small domestic details, a model for historical costume and armour in engraved series.
