|||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
Print published in Antwerp in 1571 by Volcxken Diericx. The print refers to the tyranny of the Duke of Alba in the Netherlands, and his institution of the Council of Troubles, which was nicknamed the Council of Blood. In 1572 the Gueux (Dutch freedom fighters) captured most of Holland and Zeeland, and the Prince of Orange and his brother Louis of Nassau invaded the Netherlands from Germany and France, respectively. However, Alba defeated the land invasions and recaptured part of Holland, where his troops committed terrible atrocities. In the end, he was unable to defeat the Gueux and he failed to recapture the remainder of Holland and Zeeland. The attribution of the publication to Volcxken Diericx, widow of Hieronymus Cock, is taken from Drugulin. |
