Paragraph 2.3 - The Dutch Revolt

What was NOT a cause of the Dutch Revolt?

1. Rising food prices due to food shortages thanks to bad harvests
2. Religious conflict between Roman Catholics and Protestants
3. Centralisation of the Spanish king
4. Unequal amount of tax money being spend on what was considered 'Spanish' affaires (like fighting the Ottomans)

What was the Comprise of the Nobles (or the humble petition)?

1. A request to Alba to moderate the measures against the Protestants
2. A request to Margaret of Parma to moderate the measures against the Protestants
3. A request to William of Orange to moderate the measures against the Catholics

The picture here shows the effects of...

1. the Iconoclastic Fury
2. the Spanish Fury

Answer to exercise 4 c

The main difference in the two texts is the level of detail. The textbook looks at the big picture, it deals with many years in just a few lines of text. The source above is focused on the detail of the moment in history. All the text is used for a situation of maybe just a few minutes.

Another main difference is the role of the Prince of Orange. In the bigger picture he gets credit for the entire Revolt, but on a personal level he did not sail with the Sea Beggars. Other people did a lot for the Dutch Revolt, but in the grand story they are often forgotten. 

United and parted

Think: read individually 'Pacification of Ghent' and 'Union of Utrecht' (TB 41 )

In pairs: make exercise 6 and 7 (WB 55-6) 

Share: discuss the exercises 

All provinces joined against the Spanish troops (not the king)

1. Union of Utrecht
2. Union of Atrecht
3. Pacification of Gent
4. Spanish Fury

This was one of the reasons to the Pacification of Gent

1. Plakkaat van Verlatinghe
2. Union of Atrecht
3. Union of Utrecht
4. Spanish Fury

The southern provinces feared the radical protestants more than the SPanish troops and became loyal again to their lord, king Philip II of Spain

1. Plakkaat van Verlatinghe
2. Union of Utrecht
3. Union of Atrecht
4. The Iconoclastic Fury
