Publisher's Synopsis
Revolt of Netherlands, V4 is a historical book written by Friedrich Von Schiller. It is the fourth volume in a series that chronicles the Dutch Revolt, a period of rebellion and resistance against Spanish rule in the Netherlands during the 16th century. The book covers the years 1577 to 1584, a period marked by intense conflict and political upheaval. The author provides a detailed account of the events that led to the establishment of the Dutch Republic, including the rise of William of Orange and the assassination of the Prince of Orange. Schiller also explores the religious and cultural tensions that contributed to the revolt, as well as the military strategies and tactics employed by both sides. Overall, Revolt of Netherlands, V4 offers a comprehensive and engaging look at one of the most significant periods in Dutch history.During the progress of the trial the relations and friends of the two counts were not idle. Egmont's wife, by birth a duchess of Bavaria, addressed petitions to the princes of the German empire, to the Emperor, and to the King of Spain. The Countess Horn, mother of the imprisoned count, who was connected by the ties of friendship or of blood with the principal royal families of Germany, did the same. All alike protested loudly against this illegal proceeding, and appealed to the liberty of the German empire, on which Horn, as a count of the empire, had special claims; the liberty of the Netherlands and the privileges of the Order of the Golden Fleece were likewise insisted upon.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
