Lothrop (John Lothrop) The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 06: 1560-61 This etext was produced by David Widger "The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 06: 1560-61" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, specifically around the 1850s. This volume is part of a larger work that examines the emergence of the Dutch Republic and the socio-political turmoil of the time as it addresses the conflicts between the Dutch provinces and Spanish rule, set against the backdrop of persecutions, ecclesiastical struggles, and the dynamics of power among nobles. In this sixth volume, Motley delves into the years 1560 and 1561, highlighting the increasing discontent among the Dutch people due to the oppressive policies of Spanish King Philip II and his appointed officials, particularly Cardinal Granvelle. The narrative explores key events where figures like Prince William of Orange and Count Egmont attempt to oppose the establishment of new bishoprics and the ongoing presence of foreign troops, which were seen as instruments of tyranny. The volume captures the complexities of loyalty and resistance, illustrating how institutional changes and personal rivalries among the nobility stoked the fires of rebellion, ultimately laying the foundations for the Dutch struggle for independence.
