GOALS

- The beginning of the Eighty years' war between the Netherlands and Spain. 

how were the Dutch ruled by Charles & Philip?

Philip preferred paid civil servents, why?

Moving on..

The revolt begins..

The iconoclastic fury angered Philip. He sent the Duke (hertog) of Alva to the Netherlands with an army.

Alva wanted to mercilessly (genadeloos) punish all the perpatrators (daders) of the fury. 

He sentenced hundreds of people to death. 

Many nobles fled to Germany or France, among them was William of Orange, stadholder of Utrecht, Holland and Zeeland. William planned an attack on Alva and his army and by doing so he started the Dutch revolt or the Eighty years' war (1568-1648)

However this attack failed and the order was restored for a short time. 

Remember when hundreds of nobles marched on the palace of Margaret of Parma in 1566. Margaret got nervous and 1 of her advisers said: Are you afraid of those Beggars?

(french: geuex, Dutch: geuzen)

Some fanatic calvinists had fled to the sea, calling themselves 'Sea beggars' (watergeuzen). On April 1st 1572 they conquered the port of Den Briel. William of Orange returned to Holland to lead the revolt. 

In december 1572 Spanish troops marched on holland again. The city of Naarden surrendered quickly. 

massacre of Naarden

1572

Spanish troops massacred the whole town, including the children. 

This action caused more resistance among the Dutch.
