Synopsis "The Netherlands (in English)"
A sweeping account from master history storyteller Mary MacGregor dealing with the tumultuous period of the Eighty Years' War, or "Dutch Revolt," and its main protagonists, the Spanish King Philip II, William I, Prince of Orange, the Duke of Alba, Don John of Austria, and the Duke of Anjou, all set against the dramatic and violent story of the establishment of the first modern republic in Europe.Readers will discover the close relationship between the Dutch independence drive and the ongoing religious conflict of the time-and the brutal methods used by the Catholic Church, through the Spanish royal house, in its efforts to suppress the Protestantism which gripped much of the rebellious Dutch provinces.Murder, betrayal, and calumny of unimaginable extent steadily dragged the rebellious Dutch into war with their Spanish overlords. The conflict was to exact a toll of countless lives-those of innocents and protagonists alike-before the revolt led to the formation of the independent Dutch Republic.Cover image: The Siege of Breda by Pieter Snayers (1592-1666).ContentsChapter 1: The Early StrugglesChapter 2: The Abdication of Charles VChapter 3: Philip, the PrinceChapter 4: Philip in the NetherlandsChapter 5: Philip Leaves the NetherlandsChapter 6: Granvelle and OrangeChapter 7: Orange Opposes GranvelleChapter 8: The InquisitionChapter 9: Granvelle's DownfallChapter 10: The Inquisition ResistedChapter 11: Revenge Taken on the Image-BreakersChapter 12: William of Orange Pacifies AntwerpChapter 13: Orange Leaves the Netherlands and Alva ArrivesChapter 14: Alva's Reign of TerrorChapter 15: William Defies AlvaChapter 16: Alva Avenges the Victory of Heilger-LeeChapter 17: Orange Returns to the NetherlandsChapter 18: A General Pardon ProclaimedChapter 19: Montigny's DoomChapter 20: The Sea-BeggarsChapter 21: The Capture and Surrender of MonsChapter 22: The Struggle Between Spain and the Provinces Grows DesperateChapter 23: The Siege of HaarlemChapter 24: The Patriots Win by Land and SeaChapter 25: The Grand CommanderChapter 26: The Siege and Relief of LeydenChapter 27: The Grand Commander DiesChapter 28: The Spanish FuryChapter 29: Don John of AustriaChapter 30: Don John's TreacheryChapter 31: The Prince of Orange is Invited to BrusselsChapter 32: Don John's Struggles and DeathChapter 33: Alexander of ParmaChapter 34: The BanChapter 35: The Duke of Anjou's Reception and Subsequent TreacheryChapter 36: The Plot against Orange and Its SuccessIndex
