Sažetak

While the discussions about the Belgitude concept reached their peak in French-speaking Belgium, the writer Gaston Compère considered the historical figure of Charles the Bold (1433–1477), essential for the Belgian collective imaginary, through the radio drama Le dernier duc d’Occident [The Last Duke of the West] (1977). The quest for identity criss-crosses the text, which features a character mistreated by French historiography, whose unifying political project will end in failure.
In this article, I study the mechanisms by which Gaston Compère makes Charles the Bold become a tragic character and gives him a theatrical voice. The chosen structure strengthens both erratic and strobe life of Charles the Bold, a life that is an integral part of its project of territorial unification, and emphasizes his tragic dimension.
