Lothrop (John Lothrop) The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 25: 1577, part II This eBook was produced by David Widger "The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 25: 1577, part II" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century, during the time when historical narratives were increasingly popular in literary circles. The book explores the intricate and tumultuous period of the Dutch struggle against Spanish rule, capturing both political maneuvers and the personalities involved in this crucial phase of history. Motley's work aims to detail the political complexities and the fight for independence that characterized the late 16th century in the Netherlands. In this volume, the narrative focuses on Governor-General Don John's tumultuous rule in the Netherlands amidst growing unrest and resistance led by the Prince of Orange. The text delves deep into Don John's internal struggles, revealing his profound disdain for the Dutch people while he simultaneously seeks to solidify his authority. The correspondence between Don John and his secretary, Escovedo, lays bare the political intrigues, plots against the Prince of Orange, and the duplicitous nature of the Spanish court. As the volume progresses, it illustrates the tensions between the desire for peace and the harsh realities of oppression, alongside an emerging spirit of rebellion among the Dutch populace, ultimately foreshadowing the escalating conflict that would further shape their quest for independence.
