A historical account written in the mid-19th century. This volume delves into the intricate political and military struggles of the Netherlands during the late 16th century, focusing on the pivotal role of William of Orange amid the conflict with Spain. The book explores themes of rebellion, national identity, religious tolerance, and the dynamics of power during a time of upheaval. In this particular volume, the narrative follows the political maneuvering and military engagements in the Netherlands from 1577 to 1578. It details William of Orange's triumphant return to Brussels, his efforts to consolidate power and establish a new governance model that favors religious tolerance, and the discontent brewing among the Catholic nobles. The tensions escalate into open conflict as Don John of Austria marshals forces to suppress the rebellion, leading to significant battles such as the disastrous defeat of the states' army at Gemblours. Through a blend of detailed historical recounting and character analysis, Motley illustrates the ongoing struggle for independence and the complexities of leadership during this critical period in Dutch history.
