Among institutions my thanks must go in the first instance to the British Academy, for funding the research, and to St Peter’s College, Oxford, and the Katholieke Universiteit Brussel, for supporting its pursuit. Among the many individuals who have given support and advice, first mention must go to John Elliott. Margit Thøfner, Luc Duerloo, Cordula Van Wyhe, Nina Lamal and Andrew Pettegree read and commented on various parts of this work at vari- ous stages, and I am well aware of how much better the work would have been had I had the energy or humility to implement all the changes they suggested. The research could not have been carried out without the patient help of the staff of the libraries and archives listed on page xii, among whom Eddy Put of the Belgian State Archives, Bart Op de Beeck of the Royal Library of Belgium, William Hodges of the Bodleian, Guido Cloet and Joost Depuydt of Leuven University Library and Martine De Reu of Ghent University Library showed particular consideration. Henry Ettinghausen and Paul Ries very kindly sent me offprints of their relevant articles. At the very beginning of the research, fruitful lines of enquiry or methodology were suggested by Henry Mayr- Harting, Marc Jacobs, Anna Simoni, Kristin Van Damme, David Parrott, Leo van Buyten and Hugo Soly. Many friends and acquaintances at one time or another provided information or encouragement which, however little they may have known it, was of incalculable benefit. The research on which this book is based was completed some years since, and the most important academic results have been published piecemeal in articles and essays as occasion arose. Thanks are due to the publishers for per- mission to reproduce material from the following publications: ‘Policy and Publishing in the Habsburg Netherlands, 1585–1690’, in The Politics of Information in Early Modern Europe, edited by Brendan Dooley and Sabrina Baron (Routledge Studies in Cultural History 1; London: Routledge, 2001), pp. 179–198.

Even such urging might not have overcome my diffidence had it not been for the experience, in 2011–2013, of participation in an international scholarly network funded by the Leverhulme Trust which opened my eyes to just how useful this book might be to scholars and researchers across Europe and in parts of the New World.

  • The Netherlands After the Spanish Armada Campaign of 1588
    THE GROWTH OF A NATION; THE NETHERLANDS AFTER THE SPANISH ARMADA CAMPAIGN OF 1588 Dr. J.C.A. SCHOKKENBROEK Director del Scheepuarrthuseum de Amsterdan Introduction The Dutch historian Robert Fruin, at the time professor at Leyden University, was one of the first scholars who at the end of the nineteenth century paid special attention to the developments in the Low Countries during the decade 1588-1598. In his publication (Tien Jaren), Fruin tries to indicate that the years after 1588 have been of crucial importance to the development of the young Republic of the United Netherlands. His epos is one about "progress and victory" (1). Fruin has not been the only one fascinated by this time frame. Many scholars have followed. In my lecture I will try to indicate that much of the seed of change during this decade had already been implanted during the summer of 1588, when a mighty Spanish fleet endangered the coasts of England and the Netherlands. The Spanish Armada campaign did not succeed, and Dutch seamen had a — granted relatively modest— share in its failure (2). The way Dutch politicians and mariners responded to the threat of the Spanish Armada, combined with the threat of Alexander Farnese, duke of Parma, with his troops in the northwestern part of Flanders, has been of decisive importance to the way changes in the Republic of the United Netherlands took place. In order to discuss these consequences of the failure of the Spanish Armada campaign in a proper way, I very briefly would like to talk about the Dutch participation in the events that have had such great influence on the way world history took its course.

Elizabeth I’s officer corps were careful to act in wars so that their actions would be seen as honourable by outside observers in the belief that such actions would add to their personal glory. Their individual and corporate perception of the laws of war directly affected military practices.

  • De Strijd Om Breda in De Tachtigjarige Oorlog (1568-1648)
    De strijd om Breda in de Tachtigjarige Oorlog (1568-1648) door KEES SCHULTEN De Nederlanden en de Tachtigjarige Oorlog Aan de vooravond van wat later de Tachtigjarige Oorlog zou worden genoemd, bestonden de Nederlanden grosso modo uit de huidige Benelux minus het prins-bis- dom Luik en uit een gedeelte van Noord-Frankrijk. Het betrof een conglomeraat van gewesten en gebieden waarvan Filips II van Spanje, zij het op verschillende ti- tels, de wettige landsheer was. Toen er oppositie ontstond tegen zijn beleid op bestuurlijk en godsdienstig ge- bied, probeerde Filips krachtig zijn wil op te leggen aan zijn Nederlandse onderda- nen. Uit die situatie kwam een opstand voort tegen het koninklijk gezag. De hoge en lage adel voelde zich in hun belangen geschaad. De harde vervolging van prote- stanten door de zeer katholieke koning joeg menigeen letterlijk in het harnas. De te- genstellingen tussen onwrikbare katholieken en even onwrikbare protestanten scherpten het politiek-religieuze conflict aan. Terwijl Filips II uitging van het vijand- beeld van rebellerende onderdanen van wie velen de neiging schenen te hebben ket- terse ideeën te koesteren, vonden de Nederlanders dat zij het recht hadden zich te verzetten tegen het in hun ogen onrechtvaardige beleid van hun landsheer. Daarbij bleven zij de vorst als hun heer erkennen, maar hielden de fictie in stand dat zij ageerden tegen de ’slechte’ dienaren van de vorst. Willem van Oranje en de zijnen probeerden aanvankelijk in 1568 en 1572 door invallen van buiten de Nederlanden een algemene opstand te ontketenen. Dit mis- lukte, hoewel hun aanhang gestaag groeide. Vanaf 1572 verklaarden meer en meer steden in Holland en Zeeland zich voor de prins van Oranje en kristalliseerde het verzet zich in deze twee provincies.

We will offer for sale the second part of this remarkable collection in March 2007, consisting of a whole series of siege coins, mainly of the Low Countries, but also including some foreign pieces. The eighty year’s war (1568-1648) is richly represented, including the rarest specimens. Haarlem besieged by the Spanish troops under don Frederic (December 11, 1572 to July 13, 1573), daalder of 32 stuivers (sols), 1572; Mailliet 47, 14; Delmonte 162a; van Gelder - (cfr 13c but punch 1 of 12,5 mm for the arms of the city). Extremely rare, Very Fine. (Delmonte 162a) Although a certain number of magistrates was in favour to surrender, Haarlem refused the king’s mercy offered by Boussu and the city decided to resist. The small garrison was led by Wigbout Ripperda, who had convinced the citizens that one could not have any confidence in the Spanish promises. The prince of Orange sent Marnix of Sint Aldegonde to Haarlem in order to organize the resistance. The duke of Alva gave the order to invest the city with an army of 30.000 men, which was achieved on December 11, 1572. On July 13, 1573, the famished city surrendered to don Frederic, the son of the duke of Alva.

Contests of military, political, and cultural power intertwined with one another over the course of eighty years before formal independence from Spain was recognized and the Low Countries were at peace. ¶ Within those eight decades, the roughly fifteen-year span between 1575 and 1591 would prove to be pivotal to the formation of a separate, independent republic and the development of a Dutch national identity. ¶ For the sake of the hour this lecture has been designed for, the following notes will focus primarily on the political developments that lead to the birth of the Dutch state with secondary considerations given to the ongoing military conflict and publishing of seminal pamphlets and socio-political print culture. A further, more in-depth study of these latter two topics and others would be interesting, but is outside the scope of today’s introductory look at the topic. 1. dThe Origins of the Conflict (to 1575) 1.1 INTRODUCTION TO THE LOW COUNTRIES e The Low Countries Today: Corresponds to modern day Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and parts of northern France.

Cependant, sa figure n’a pas été vraiment étudiée jusqu’à ces dernières années, or elle nous permet de comprendre beaucoup mieux de nombreux point concernant les histoires du Portugal, des Pays-Bas espagnols, du Saint-Empire et de la Monarchie espagnole pendant les derniers décennies du XVIe et le début du XVIIe siècle. Cette contribution est centrée sur l’étude des maisons royales depuis 1595, quand Albert a été désigné gouverneur des Pays-Bas, jusque 1598, quand il a été investi comme Prince souverain des mêmes terres.
