This eBook was produced by David Widger "The Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. This work examines the significant role of John of Barneveld, a prominent statesman in the early Dutch Republic, and delves into the political dynamics surrounding the Thirty Years' War and the prolonged struggle for Dutch independence from Spain. The opening of the work introduces Barneveld as a key figure in establishing the Commonwealth of the United Provinces, detailing his political strategies and the precarious balance between religion and governance in the early 17th century. It highlights the tensions between Barneveld, who advocated for civil authority over church power, and his rival, Maurice of Nassau, who held military command. The early chapters set up the political landscape of Europe at that time, illustrating Barneveld's pivotal role in diplomatic negotiations and domestic reforms that would shape the future conflicts within the Netherlands. The narrative conveys the complexity of Barneveld's character and political journey, foreshadowing the tragic consequences of his vision for the republic.
