The Dutch Revolt had its roots in the spread of Calvinism to the region and the subsequent iconoclastic violence that broke out in the second half of the 16th century, during the reign of King Philip II of Spain. William emerged as a key military leader in the Dutch Republic, which was formed the union of the seven northernmost provinces of the region. William’s leadership and position in the revolt prompted his assassination in 1584 (Wiesner-Hanks, 195). William not only typifies the religious and political upheavals that occurred as a result of the Protestant Reformation, but he is also key in connecting the Low Countries to a wider European context. The conflict in the Netherlands expanded to include France, Germany, and England in what began as a Spanish conflict. In 1568, William aligned himself with Huguenot (Protestant) leaders in France and marched into France to attempt to turn the tide of the conflict (Holt 69). The English helped fund the Dutch rebels, and Philip II of Spain retaliated against the English by sending the Spanish Armada to attempt to invade England (Wiesner-Hanks, 195). Despite William’s promotion of religious tolerance in the Netherlands, many Catholics sought refuge in the Holy Roman Empire, in cities such as Cologne (Janssen 475-6). These examples illustrate how religiously-motivated conflicts such as those in France and the Low Countries were not self-contained, but rather drew in many third parties.
