Abstract
This contribution examines the process of banishment as part of the political tools available to an aldermen bench to control the city. Banishment was a punishment that closely corresponded to the urban ideology where undesirable and even harmful elements were literally removed from the community. It was when a dissident administration came to power in 1477 that banishments became more frequent. These insurgents used punishment to stigmatise the previous regime as corrupt and morally reprehensible and to discipline their own populace. Banishments were used to eliminate subversive elements from the city, but also to punish bad behaviour. The most striking aspect here is the moralization. The Ghent aldermen who were in power between 1477 and 1485 banished many more people for immoral behaviour such as adultery than their predecessors and their descendants. The article argues that the lack of legitimacy suffered by the insurgents encouraged this phenomenon. These insurgents tried to communicate a message of law and order. In doing so, they presented themselves as good governors.
