Lothrop (John Lothrop) The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 10: 1566, part I This etext was produced by David Widger "The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 10: 1566, part I" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the emergence of the Dutch Republic during a tumultuous and politically charged period in history, focusing on the significant events leading to the Dutch revolt against Spanish rule. Central to this narrative are characters such as William of Orange, Louis of Nassau, and various nobles who navigate the complex political landscape, striving for civil and religious liberties. The opening of the book introduces readers to the context of the year 1566, highlighting key events, including the famous "Compromise," a significant document aimed at resisting the inquisition. We meet Francis Junius, a preacher advocating for reform, and other prominent figures who gather to discuss the plight of the Netherlands under Spanish oppression. The text details the political intrigue, rising tensions, and the people's agitation against the harsh edicts enforced by the monarchy. As debate flourishes among the nobles about how to address these issues, the groundwork is laid for the imminent conflict that will shape the future of the region, setting the stage for a compelling exploration of rebellion, ideology, and the struggle for liberty.
