1555:
- Philip II became king of Spain and the Low Countries.
- His policy:
- raise taxes
- centralise the government
- more power to the Inquisition
- What did this mean?

2. centralisation
- centralisation : rules / laws are made from 1 central point or 1 person (king) and apply for the whole country.
- decentralisation: cities or provinces can make their own decisions, rules and laws.
- Who was affected?
- the nobles
- Centralisation = more power for the king and less power for the Dutch nobles and provinces.

3. Inquisition
- The king wanted to destroy protestantism in his empire.
- He gave more power to the Inquisition to persecute and kill the "heretics".
Who was affected?
- everybody (rich and poor alike)
- many protestants in the country
- even Catholics disagreed with the inquisition
Slide 8 - Slide
The highest Dutch nobles (mostly counts and dukes) ruled a province (gewest) in the function of "Stadtholder". They had sworn loyalty to their king (Philip II) and had promised to execute the king's policies in the Low Countries.
Margaret of Parma was appointed to be the governor (landvoogdes) of the Low Countries. She was the king's representative and was responsible that:
- there was peace in the provinces
- the taxes were paid.
- protestants were persecuted by the Inquisition
King Philip II ruled Spain and the Low Countries. Because he lived in Spain he left his half sister Margaret in charge of the Low Countries.

When the Petition was presented, a member of her council said to Margaret of Parma: 'N'ayez pas peur Madame, ce ne sont que de gueux', which means: 'Don't worry madame, they are but beggars.' The nobles took this name as a title of honor, calling themselves: Geuzen (in English: beggars).
