History of the Revolt of the Netherlands — Volume 04
This eBook was produced by David Widger
"History of the Revolt of the Netherlands — Volume 04" by Friedrich Schiller is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book delves into the complex and tumultuous period of the iconoclast movement within the context of the larger Dutch revolt against Spanish rule during the 16th century. The narrative likely explores themes of religious strife, political instability, and the social dynamics among various factions in the Netherlands during this significant historical moment. At the start of this volume, Schiller sets the stage for the events surrounding the outbreak of the Iconoclasts in the Netherlands. He illustrates the desperation of the oppressed Protestant populace, who, driven by fanaticism and despair, violently attack churches and destroy religious icons in an expression of rebellion against the Catholic Church and Spanish authorities. The opening discusses the chaotic scenes in various towns such as Antwerp and Valenciennes as Protestants seize churches, engage in plunder, and establish tumultuous governance in the face of both external threats and internal divisions. Tensions escalate as nobles debate how to respond to the civil unrest, and the regent seeks to assert control, revealing the intricate political landscape amidst the growing unrest.
