Lothrop (John Lothrop) Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland : with a view of the primary causes and movements of the Thirty Years' War — Complete (1609-15) Produced by David Widger "The Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The work delves into the life of John of Barneveld, a pivotal figure in the establishment of the Dutch Republic and its political and military strategies during a tumultuous time, particularly with regard to the larger context of the Thirty Years' War. At the start of the book, the author outlines the complex political landscape of Europe during Barneveld's life while highlighting the significance of the Twelve Years' Truce with Spain and its impact on the United Provinces. The opening chapters introduce Barneveld as a formidable statesman whose influence shaped the governance of the Netherlands in the midst of religious conflict and external pressures, notably from Spain and other powerful nations. Key events, such as Barneveld's political maneuvers during the war for independence, his relationships with influential leaders, and the internal strife between competing factions within the Dutch Republic, are briefly sketched to set the stage for a deeper exploration of Barneveld's career and ultimate fate.
