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, 1618-19 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 mid-19th century. The book focuses on the life of John of Barneveld, a prominent political figure during a tumultuous period in the Netherlands marked by religious conflict, political intrigue, and the early stages of the Thirty Years' War. The narrative delves into the complexities of Barneveld's advocacy for civil rights and religious tolerance, as well as the political machinations that ultimately led to his fall from power. At the start of the book, the reader is introduced to a landscape of intense political and religious strife in the Netherlands. Barneveld, a central figure in the power dynamics of the Republic, is shown navigating through rising sectarian tensions between the Gomarists and Arminians. As Barneveld grapples with these internal conflicts, he becomes embroiled in numerous plots, including Spanish intrigues, which threaten the stability of the Republic. Concurrently, we witness the story of English Puritans, led by figures like Brewster and Robinson, who, fleeing persecution, establish themselves in Leyden, signaling the beginnings of a historic migration to America. This intertwined narrative sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Barneveld's eventual trial, imprisonment, and political downfall amidst the swirling chaos of his era.
