    Study Notes

    Reformation & Dutch Revolt

    • Church Rift: Dissatisfaction with the Catholic Church, stemming from perceived abuses like the sale of indulgences, fueled the Reformation. A hierarchy exists; Pope directs Bishops, who control priests.

    • Luther's Criticism: Martin Luther criticized various aspects of the Church, including the sale of indulgences, excessive papal rule, clergy hypocrisy, lavish spending, depiction of saints, and plans for St. Peter's Basilica.

    • Papal Response: The Pope rejected Luther's critiques, excommunicating him and his followers. Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor, also took action through the Edict of Blood, which authorized the persecution of Protestants.

    • Charles V's Empire: Charles V ruled a vast empire, including Spain, the Netherlands, and parts of Italy and Germany. Maintaining religious unity and centralizing Dutch governance were major goals.

    • Dutch Discontent: The Dutch provinces, with their unique privileges (gewesten), fiercely opposed centralizing policies.

    • Reformation in the Netherlands: Calvinism gained widespread support in the Netherlands, diverging from Lutheranism in certain theological tenets. Both rejected papal authority and indulgences. Calvinism, with its emphasis on congregational governance rather than a hierarchical one, resonated deeply with Dutch culture.

    • Edict of Blood: Charles V's edict aimed to ensure Catholicism in his realm through the persecution of Protestants by the Inquisition.

    • Philip II's Succession: Philip II succeeded Charles V as ruler of the Low Countries.

    Turbulent Uprising

    • Noblemen's Petition: Dutch nobles petitioned Philip II to treat Protestants more leniently, leading to temporary lessening of persecutions.

    • Hagenpreken and Iconoclastic Outbreak: Open-air Protestant services (hagenpreken) fostered discontent and led to the destruction of Catholic imagery and property.

    • Duke of Alba's Actions: Philip II responded by sending the Duke of Alba to the Netherlands to suppress the rebellion. Alba's policies included severe punishments (Council of Blood) and a new 10% tax (tenth coin), causing great anger.

    • Dutch Revolt: The Netherlands revolted against Spanish rule due to Philip II's harsh policies, high taxes, and centralization efforts.

    • Den Briel Capture: The capture of Den Briel further inspired revolt as cities, seeking freedom from taxes, joined the resistance.

    • Pacification of Ghent: Faced with the Spanish Fury (Spanish soldiers' plundering), the 17 provinces united against Spain to demand their expulsion.

    • Act of Abjuration: The northern provinces declared independence from Philip II and formed the Dutch Republic.
