I think Flanders exists as a geographical place not a political entity. I reckon it was part of the Dukedom of Burgundy in those days, though none of it affects the music, at least I don't think it does!

He wasn't born in Belgium, as it didn't exist then, not that I'm a pedant

Well yes but where he was born(Flanders) doesn’t exist today either?
