GRIEGO-SCHMITT B.A., History, University of New Mexico, 2003 M.A., History, University of New Mexico, 2007 DISSERTATION Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy History The University of New Mexico Albuquerque, New Mexico May, 2015 iii Dedication for Jason iv Acknowledgements I owe thanks to a great number of people for their intellectual, emotional, and financial support during the creation, execution, and completion of my doctoral dissertation. First and foremost, I owe special thanks to my dissertation chair, Dr. Charlie Steen, for supporting my research interests over the past thirteen years. His class on the French Revolution was the first course that I took as an undergraduate at the University of New Mexico and I immediately knew that I would be a historian of early modern Europe. Our meetings always cover a range of subjects: from argumentative structures to gardening tips to archival advice. Additionally, he always provided the emotional support that I needed during the dissertation writing process. Dr. Steen always encourages me to trust my interpretation of the documents and to above all “go to the primary sources!” I am grateful to all of the members of my dissertation committee. My project began while I was completing my Master’s thesis on constitutionalism and resistance-right theory during the French Wars of Religion. Dr. Steen’s enthusiasm for the direction of my dissertation served as critical catalyst, and the allure of the sixteenth-century Low Countries determined the focus of this project. Dr. Timothy Graham has guided my professional trajectory for over twelve years and I consider his advice to be worth its weight in gold. Dr. Graham always treated me like a scholar and he greatly helped refine my archival research methodology. Dr. Mike Ryan joined my committee at a critical moment and from that time forward gave me his full support and attention. I wrote one of my chapters in Dr. Ryan’s Professionalization course and he pushed me to refine the conceptual framework that I used in my dissertation. I am extremely thankful for his generosity of time and spirit. Dr. Els Stronks of the University of Utrecht agreed to serve on my committee as an outside reader v and I am thankful for her candid questions and feedback during the writing process. Her willingness to help a PhD candidate from the University of New Mexico while she worked at the University of Utrecht is an incredible honor for me. Other colleagues have supported my dissertation at different stages. A special thanks belongs to Dr. Charles Paine, Dr. Cristyn Elder, and Dr. Beth Davila. They hired me as an interdepartmental teaching assistant with the University of New Mexico English Department in 2010 and supported my growth as an instructor in the Stretch Composition program. My position as an ITA gave me financial means to continue pursuing my PhD and is the bedrock of my formidable teaching experience. Professor Judy Bieber has been an indefatigable source of motivation and support. My first project on the Netherlands was written for Dr. Bieber’s Atlantic World seminar course. My colleagues Justin Barber, Colin Snider, Lisa Brown, Shawn Austin, and Justin Larsen have provided tremendous support to me over the years. Whether I was teaching myself to read and translate early modern Dutch, struggling to decipher heavy Gothic sixteenth-century French script, or presenting at critical scholarly conferences, each of these individuals has given me the encouragement to keep going. My research was supported financially by a variety of organizations. The UNM History Department awarded me several travel grants to present at academic conferences. I expanded my archival experience during my tenure as a Junior Fellow in the Geography and Maps division of the Library of Congress. The New Mexico Department of Higher Education awarded me a generous four-year grant during which time I worked in the collections at the Newberry Library in Chicago. The HED grant also allowed me to travel to the University of Glasgow and the University of St. Andrews where I worked with Dr. Alison Adams and Dr. Andrew Pettegree on the focus and scope of my dissertation. Most recently I received the vi UNM Office of Graduate Studies Graduate Student Success Scholarship Dissertation Travel Award and traveled to Belgium to finish my archival work in the achives in Brussels and Antwerp. The documents and images collected during this trip changed the scope of several of my chapters. I have also had tremendous help from my friends and family. I have been in graduate school for as long as I have known Christy and Brian Kearney. They continue to encourage me and provide emotional support every day. My Company dancers are important sources of inspiration to me as well. I’m grateful to have another career that allows me to work with enthusiastic students and to physically express my stormy emotions. Family members have been a wonderful support to me. Thank you to my parents, Russell and Susan Griego, for their encouragement throughout the entirety of my graduate career. My sister, Erin Griego, is an incredible example of the vast capabilities of a strong and fierce woman. Bob and Tina Schmitt continue to push me to do my best work and are important sources of inspiration for me. My sister-in-law Kelsey and her husband Edgar always remind me to see the beauty and humor in the world. My sweet grandparents, Ray and Carol Smith, have always stood by my side. Without their support, I would not have made it this far. Thank you for helping me pursue this dream. I am grateful for my sweet dogs, Maddie and Bailey, for enduring years of long writing sessions with me. I spent more time with them while writing in the past three years than I have anyone else. They remind me that sometimes playing ball and enjoying the sunshine are the most important things of all. To the love of my life and my best friend, I owe a lifetime’s worth of thanks. Jason’s emotional support during lonely research trips, late- night translation sessions, and his loving guidance are the reasons I was able to work so hard vii for so long. He brought me back when I drifted and reminded me that even in dark moments I was never alone. viii “WE SUBDUED THE BODY BUT NOT THE COURAGE”: POPULAR LITERATURE, SOVEREIGN AUTHORITY, AND CEREMONIAL RITES OF POWER DURING THE DUTCH REVOLT, 1550-1598 by Breanna S. Griego-Schmitt B.A., History, University of New Mexico, 2003 M.A., History, University of New Mexico, 2007 Ph.D., History, University of New Mexico, 2015 ABSTRACT By engaging with the vast body of pamphlet literature, rarely seen engravings and images, personal and official correspondence between leading figures, edicts and proclamations, visual renderings and written accounts of public ceremonials, and songs, poems, and placards published between 1550 and 1598, this dissertation creates a comprehensive analysis of the religio-political relations and social change in the Low Countries. My work draws upon the premises that appeared most consistently in the literature and images circulated during the Dutch Revolt: strategy and communication, sovereignty and constitutionalism, freedom of conscience, political theory in the Low Countries, rites of power, and the creation of popular mythology. Whether within the borders of the individual provinces or the vaderland of the Low Countries at large, the conscious creation of Protestant identity and authority demonstrated how communication between the Low Countries’ subjects, their representative institutions, and their sovereign came to define the development of the Dutch Revolt. ix Table of Contents List of Figures ........................................................................................................................ xii Archival Abbreviations ....................................................................................................... xiv Notes on References and Translations ................................................................................ xv Maps .................................................................................................................................... xvi Preface

  • Lord Mance Gives Speech to Mark 175Th Anniversary of Founding of Hoge Raad, the Netherlands
    Lord Mance gives speech to mark 175th anniversary of founding of Hoge Raad, The Netherlands The Rule of Law - Common Traditions and Common Issues 1 October 2013 Your Majesty, President of the Hoge Raad, Your Excellencies, distinguished colleagues and fellow guests: Three centuries ago, Your Majesty’s relative, King William III, appointed so-called Lords Justices to help govern England during his absences. Some of them may have been summonsed to The Hague. Certainly, it is an honour that the Hoge Raad has asked a United Kingdom Supreme Court Justice to speak at its 175th anniversary celebration. The common law is a world force, but a minority interest within Europe. But I believe that it has been loyal and effective in applying and developing European law. This afternoon is a handshake across the Channel, witnessing genuinely friendly relations between different European judiciaries and legal systems. It was not always so. 400 years ago, the Dutch and British were arguing about access to the East Indian Spice Trade. The British invoked no lesser authority than Hugo Grotius. Had not Mare Liberum, already widely known as his work, advanced the principle of free navigation and trade? The British were less happy with Grotius’s response: pacta sunt servanda – contracts must be honoured: the Dutch had bought exclusive rights from local rulers to the spice harvest in exchange for military protection. So: the British were free to navigate, but must buy from the Dutch! And, 40 years on, a British riposte banning imports on foreign ships led to the first English (or, as we say, Dutch) trade war.

  • A Temperate Factionalism: Political Life in Amiens at the End of the Wars of Religion*
    A Temperate Factionalism: Political Life in Amiens at the End of the Wars of Religion* Olivia Carpi At the end of 1584, after a respite of nine years, France became embroiled in a new civil war. After the death of his brother the duke of Anjou (10 June 1584), King Henri iii was without a male descendant and the Catholics were facing what for the vast majority of them was a frightening prospect: Henri of Bour- bon, king of Navarre and Henri iii’s cousin, but also a Protestant and leader of the rebel Huguenot party, had become the presumptive heir. As a consequence, a portion of the French nobility and some bourgeois in Paris and other cities in the kingdom formed a Catholic League, also called the “Holy Union” (the name preferred by its adherents), promoted by Henri de Lorraine, the duke of Guise, and supported by Philip ii, king of Spain. The League’s aims were made public in a manifesto issued on 31 March 1585: to force the king to resume war against the ‘heretics’, deprive Navarre from his claims to the throne, and also to thor- oughly reform the state, which the Leaguers condemned for its fiscal rapacity and authoritarian tendencies. Confronted by political and military pressure, Henri iii reluctantly promul- gated the Treaty of Nemours (18 July 1585), prohibiting the reformed religion and annulling any rights to the throne claimed by Navarre and his cousin, the prince of Condé. These concessions were, however, not enough to sat- isfy the most uncompromising Catholics. Their suspicion, even hostility, to the king, explains the insurrection in Paris of 12 May 1588 known as the Day of the Barricades.

  • Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83747-7 - Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 Hugh Dunthorne Frontmatter More information Britain and the Dutch Revolt 1560–1700 England’s response to the Revolt of the Netherlands (1568–1648) has been studied hitherto mainly in terms of government policy, yet the Dutch struggle with Habsburg Spain affected a much wider commu- nity than just the English political elite. It attracted attention across Britain and drew not just statesmen and diplomats but also soldiers, merchants, religious refugees, journalists, travellers and students into the confl ict. Hugh Dunthorne draws on pamphlet literature to reveal how British contemporaries viewed the progress of their near neigh- bours’ rebellion, and assesses the lasting impact which the Revolt and the rise of the Dutch Republic had on Britain’s domestic history. The book explores affi nities between the Dutch Revolt and the British civil wars of the seventeenth century – the fi rst major challenges to royal authority in modern times – showing how much Britain’s chang- ing commercial, religious and political culture owed to the country’s involvement with events across the North Sea. HUGH DUNTHORNE specializes in the history of the early modern period, the Dutch revolt and the Dutch republic and empire, the his- tory of war, and the Enlightenment. He was formerly Senior Lecturer in History at Swansea University, and his previous publications include The Enlightenment (1991) and The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century Britain and the Low Countries

A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto 2018 ABSTRACT OF DISSERTATION Righteous Citizens: The Lynching of Johan and Cornelis DeWitt, The Hague, Collective Violence, and the Myth of Tolerance in the Dutch Golden Age, 1650-1672 by Ingrid Frederika DeSanto Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles Professor Margaret C Jacob, Chair In The Hague, on August 20 th , 1672, the Grand Pensionary of Holland, Johan DeWitt and his brother Cornelis DeWitt were publicly killed, their bodies mutilated and hanged by the populace of the city. This dissertation argues that this massacre remains such an unique event in Dutch history, that it needs thorough investigation. Historians have focused on short-term political causes for the eruption of violence on the brothers’ fatal day. This work contributes to the existing historiography by uncovering more long-term political and social undercurrents in Dutch society. In doing so, issues that may have been overlooked previously are taken into consideration as well.

McFadin 1 Quel horreur! : Violence in Reformation France By Chris McFadin History 4995: Independent Study on Violence in the French Wars of Religion, 1562-1629 Dr. Julius Ruff November 9, 2009 2 Oh happy victory! It is to you alone Lord, not to us, the distinguished trophy of honor. In one stroke you tore up the trunk, and the root, and the strewn earth of the heretical vermin. Vermin, who were caught in snares that they had dared to set for your faithful subjects. Oh favorable night! Hour most desirable in which we placed our hope. 1 Michel de Roigny, On the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, 1572 The level of sectarian violence that erupted in Reformation France was extraordinary. Otherwise ordinary Catholics tortured their Huguenot neighbors to death and then afterwards mutilated their corpses, sometimes feeding the disfigured remains to farm animals. Catholic children elicited applause from their coreligionists as they killed adult Huguenots by tearing them to pieces. Huguenots assaulted Catholic priests during the Mass, pillaged Catholic churches, and desecrated the Host. Indeed, as the sectarian duel increased in frequency and intensity, a man could be killed for calling someone a Huguenot; both sides used religion to rationalize the assassinations of dukes and kings.
