Summary "The Life and Death of John of Barneveld, Advocate of Holland" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the life and political struggles of John of Barneveld, a key figure in the Dutch Republic and a principal architect of its governance, particularly during a time of critical political tensions leading up to the Thirty Years' War. It explores the complex diplomatic negotiations, alliances, and conflicts that defined the era. The opening of the book presents a detailed examination of Barneveld's challenging position amid insurrections, international negotiations, and the looming threat of war. It describes the aftermath of the Treaty of Truce and the immediate crises faced by the advocate, including a revolutionary incident in Utrecht and Barneveld's intricate dealings with powerful neighboring states, especially France. The narrative emphasizes Barneveld's tireless efforts to stabilize the republic while grappling with the immense responsibilities on his shoulders, as well as the personal and political intrigues that accompany his role in shaping Dutch foreign policy.
