Compromise of Nobles Compromise of Nobles (whenever she needed money) she convened the States- General of the Netherlands in which the several estates of the provinces were represented, such as the lesser nobil- ity and the cities, but most of the time the States-General was not in session and the Regent ruled alone, together with her Council. Like his father Charles V, Philip was very much op- posed to the Protestant teachings of Martin Luther, John Calvin and the Anabaptists, which had gained many ad- herents in the Netherlands by the early 1560s. To sup- press Protestantism he had promulgated extraordinary or- dinances, called placards, that outlawed them and made them capital offenses. Because of their severity these placards caused growing opposition among the popula- tion, both Catholic and Protestant. Opposition, even among Catholics, was generated because the placards were seen as breaches of the constitutional privileges of the local authorities and the civil liberties of the peo- ple, like the Jus de non evocando, as enshrined in the "Joyous Entry", the constitution of the Duchy of Bra- bant, to mention a prominent example. For that reason local authorities regularly protested against the placards and the way they were implemented in 1564 and later years. That these protests were systematically ignored and the placards stringently enforced only helped inten- sify the opposition.[2] Eedverbond der Edelen, from Hendrik Conscience Geschiedenis van België, 1859 2 Compromise The Compromise[1] of Nobles (Dutch: Eedverbond der Edelen; French: Compromis des Nobles) was This unrest motivated the Brussels government to send a covenant of members of the lesser nobility in the Lamoral, Count of Egmont, to Spain to plead for relax- Habsburg Netherlands who came together to submit a ation of the ordinances.

  • The Well-Timed Speech Act: Bourrée for Bache
    the well-timed speech act: bourrée for bache THE WELL-TIMED SPEECH ACT: BOURRÉE FOR BACHE by Jacob L. Mey Speech acts, in order to be properly effected, must obey conditions of 'felicity', as stipulated by the Pragmatic Greats such as Austin, Grice, and Searle. In addition, there are lesser-studied, contextual constraints on speech acting, often conflated under the common denominator of 'situation'. Here, it is important to stress that the situation of acting not only is defined by its spatial context, but that speech acts also evolve, and are perlocutionarily realized, over time. Introduction It is by now commonly accepted that speech acts, in order to be 'feli- citous', have to obey certain conditions; in addition, they under lie contextual constraints. Here, I want to highlight a property of speech acting that has perhaps attracted less attention over the years: the speech act as contextually depending not just on its spatial environ- ment, but on the timely affordances (in past, present, and future) that play a decisive role in its realization and effect. On sequentiality This 'sequentiality' of speech acts (borrowing a term originally used in Conversation Analysis) denotes the way 'parts' of adjacent utter- ances influence one another. Thus, a 'greeting' such as 'Hi' is not 'valid' as a greeting's first 'pair part' unless ratified by the 'second part' of the greeting pair: 'Hi'. 265 jacob l. mey the well-timed speech act: bourrée for bache This minimal sequence, 'Hi'-'Hi' (Harvey Sacks' classical The and-preface makes salient the connectedness of the 'clear example; 1992 1: 673), illustrates two things: one, no speech act right' call to the immediately prior talk.

  • Donec Auferatur Luna
    Donec Auferatur Luna Kenny A. J. Macco I Donec Auferatur Luna Exploring Early Modern Terrorism in the Low Countries (1566-84) and the Plausibility of a Nexus with Exile. By Kenny A. J. Macco Prof. Dr. Geert Janssen Second reader: Dr. Samuel Kruizinga University of Amsterdam August 2019 19,509 words Cover: Blurred adaptation and excerpt of Maarten van Heemskerck’s (1539-43), St. Lawrence Altarpiece. Permanent Collection of Linköping Cathedral, Denmark. ‘Mijn Schilt ende betrouwen, Sijt Ghy, o Godt mijn Heer; Op U soo wil ick bouwen, Verlaet my nemmermeer. Dat ick doch vroom mach blijven, U dienaer taller stondt, Die tyranny verdrijven, Die my mijn hert doorwondt. (...) Als David moeste vluchten, Voor Saul den tyran, Soo heb ick moeten suchten, Met menich edelman; Maer Godt heeft hem verheven, Verlost uut alder noot, Een Coninckrijck ghegheven, In Israel seer groot.’ The Wilhelmus (Geuzenliedboek 1581) I Abstract The following question was explored in this thesis: ‘Can terrorism be traced in the Early Modern Low Countries (1566-1584), and did exile experience play a role in this?’ This central question was divided into four subquestions. The first asked is whether violence – a fundamental precondition for terrorism – was legitimized. Four influential writers with a history of exile and a selection of propaganda material were studied. Violence was barely legitimized by the selected writers, except for Aldegonde, but it was in propaganda. The religious, political, and economic grievances were similar in these sources and align with the literature about the contextual background of the Dutch Revolt. The second question asked whether cases of terrorism can be found between 1566 and 1584.

Most explicitly through Utopia, the book they conceived jointly, and that Erasmus had found inspiration for these ideas which he handed over to More, in the Duchy of Brabant with Brussels as one of its four capitals. Representatives of these capitals held veto powers in the Duchy’s representative assembly, the Estates of Brabant, and in Brussels the craft guilds’ masters whose apprentices were organized in precursors of trade unions and able to steer the policies of their masters, were involved in political affairs and government of the city. On the Brabantine constitution named the ‘Joyous Entry’, providing the Estates of Brabant with the constitutional right to depose the Duke of Brabant and assign a new one, the Estates-General with representatives of several Low Countries based in the Act of ‘Verlatinghe’ of 1581 legally the Dutch Revolt and the deposing of Philip II as ruler of the Burgundian Netherlands: an event generally respected as a first broad manifestation of representative/parliamentary democracy.

Balans, Amsterdam 1994 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/wolt014tuss01_01/colofon.htm © 2008 dbnl / J.J. Woltjer 7 Woord vooraf Het is voor mij een groot genoegen dat de uitgever bereid is een aantal van mijn verspreide studies over de Opstand en het ontstaan van de Nederlandse staat in deze bundel opnieuw te publiceren. Zij waren dikwijls moeilijk te verkrijgen. Nu zij bijeengevoegd zijn, zal de samenhang duidelijker worden. Voor deze uitgave zijn zij herzien. Herhalingen zijn zoveel mogelijk weggewerkt. Soms leidde dat tot vrij aanzienlijke verschuivingen. Zo zijn ‘De Vredemakers’ en ‘De steden en de hervorming in de Nederlanden’ sterk ingekort, maar de weggevallen gedeelten vindt men, soms in andere vorm, elders in deze bundel terug. Het eerste opstel, ‘Opstand en onafhankelijkheid’ is erdoor gegroeid. ‘Opstand en onafhankelijkheid’ verscheen in 1972 als ‘Inleiding’ in de catalogus van de tentoonstelling te Dordrecht onder die naam. ‘De Vredemakers’ werd in 1976 gepubliceerd in een speciaal nummer van het Tijdschrift voor Geschiedenis over de Pacificatie van Gent en in 1979 in de bundel De Unie van Utrecht.

The future European neighbourhood is annexed to the City of Brussels The Société civile pour l’agrandissement et l’embellissement de la Capitale de la Belgique, a real estate company founded in 1837 by Ferdinand de Meeüs, lobbied for the City of Brussels to be expanded to the east at the expense of the municipalities of Sint Joost, Schaarbeek and Etterbeek. After the 1853 expansion, a bridge was built above the Maalbeek valley to permit the construction of the new neighbourhood’s main street. At first called “rue de la Société civile”, it was later Given the name of the short street of which it was an extension: “rue de la Loi”. Picture 2 The Berlaymont convent In 1864, the Dames de Berlaymont convent settled at the far end of the rue de la Loi, still rural at that time. It also served as a school for young girls of well-to-do families and possessed a large garden. 1 The Berlaymont nuns take up residence in the countryside The religious order of the Dames de Berlaymont was founded in 1627 in the residence of the Berlaymont family, close to the cathedral.

  • The Low Countries 1
    Bloemendal – The Low Countries 1 Neo-Latin Drama in the Low Countries Jan Bloemendal The Low Countries as a Historical, Religious and Literary Melting Pot Between c. 1500 and 1750 some hundreds of Latin plays were written, staged and printed in the Low Countries from St. Omaars to Leeuwarden.1 Some of them had a huge international resonance, witness many editions and performances all over Europe. In the selection of ten representative biblical dramas printed by Nicolaus Brylinger in Basel, 1541, seven of them were written by authors from the Low Countries which were a leading region in drama in the sixteenth century. However, speaking of the ‘Low Countries’ involves some geographical difficulties. The early modern territory encompassed roughly the area that now comprises the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg, small parts of Germany and some parts of northern France.2 The area was divided into rather autonomous provinces, while the cities had their own forms of autonomy. - The rulers confirmed their dominion by magnificent ‘Joyous Entries’ (‘Blijde Intredes’) in the cities, mainly in the southern provinces that formed the economic heart in the beginning of the sixteenth century. The Low Countries with their approximately 2.5 million inhabitants were highly urbanised. The protestant Reformation that starting with Martin Luther in the 1510s and 1520s would ‘divide Europe’s House’, also divided the Habsburg rulers and the Low Countries. While both parties had conflicting interests and conflicting religious convictions, Emperor Charles V (1500– 1558) and his successor Philip II (1527–1598) tried to stop the spread of ‘heretic’ ideas by confining the autonomy of the provinces and the cities.
