Summary "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. The book delves into the life of John of Barneveld, a significant statesman during a tumultuous period in European history, particularly focusing on the backdrop of the Thirty Years' War and the political dynamics within the Netherlands and surrounding nations. It offers insights into Barneveld's advocacy for Protestantism and his pivotal role in navigating the complex geopolitical landscape of the time. At the start, the narrative introduces Barneveld as a proactive figure, alarmed by the increasing military activity of Catholic forces and the indifference of Protestant leaders in Germany. The opening chapters detail his diplomatic efforts to rally support from France and England, urging them to heed the looming threats posed by the Catholic League and the ambitions of Spain. Through a series of strategic communications, Barneveld seeks to secure military aid and fortify alliances to preserve Protestant liberties and the sovereignty of the Republic. The socio-political intricacies and Barneveld’s foresight are emphasized, painting a picture of a leader striving to protect his nation and the wider Protestant cause amid growing tensions.
