Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Complete Works of John L. Motley, Vol. 3 Maurice revolutionizes the provinces - Danckaerts´s libelous pamphlet - Barneveldt´s appeal to the prince - Barneveldt´s Remonstrance to the states - The stadholder at Amsterdam - The treaty of truce nearly expired - King of Spain and Archduke Albert - Scheme for recovering the provinces - Secret plot to make Maurice sovereign. Early in the year (1618) Maurice set himself about revolutionizing the provinces on which he could not yet thoroughly rely. The town of Nimwegen, since its recovery from the Spaniards near the close of the preceding century, had held its municipal government, as it were, at the option of the prince. During the war he had been, by the terms of surrender, empowered to appoint and to change its magistracy at will. No change had occurred for many years, but as the government had of late fallen into the hands of the Barneveldtians, and as Maurice considered the truce to be a continuance of the war, he appeared suddenly in the city at the head of a body of troops and surrounded by his life-guard.
