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, 1618 This eBook was produced by David Widger "The Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work details the tumultuous life of John of Barneveld, a significant political figure in the Dutch Republic, focusing on his conflicts with Prince Maurice of Nassau amid the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War. The narrative likely explores Barneveld's contributions to the establishment of a stable governance in the Netherlands, as well as his eventual fall from grace due to political rivalries and public animosity. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for a critical period in Dutch history, particularly the power struggle between Barneveld and Maurice. It portrays an alarming political landscape where loyalties are questioned, and Barneveld faces vehement libels accusing him of treason and corruption. A grave conflict arises as Maurice begins to consolidate power, leading to the disbanding of Barneveld's supporters and a shift in governance that jeopardizes his position. Through vivid accounts of political machinations, pamphleteering, and Barneveld's appeals for justice, the reader is introduced to the intricate web of loyalties and conflicts that define this pivotal moment in the history of Holland.
