Description
The Duke of Alba and the Revolt of Flanders
In 1567, King Felipe II appointed Fernando Álvarez de Toledo, the III Duke of Alba, to govern the Netherlands. With a clear mission to quell rebellion, modernize finances, and combat Protestant heresy, Alba embarked on a perilous journey to Brussels.
His efforts were met with resistance from disgruntled burgomaestres, rebellious abbots, and a population fearful of Spanish soldiers. The situation worsened after a series of natural disasters, including floods and crop failures, culminating in the massive revolt of Flanders in 1572, sparked by the capture of the Dutch city of Briel.
