This book chronicles the rise of the Inquisition tribunals in the Spanish Netherlands under imperial rule from their inception in the 1520s until 1566, the year of the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt, which was sparked by resentment at the religious persecution carried out by the Inquisition and revolts against the heavy-handed policies of Philip II of Spain, who sought to centralize control of the Habsburg Netherlands. The author details the persecution and repression of Protestantism and other dissenting beliefs by the Catholic Spanish monarchy and the subsequent armed resistance by Dutch rebels, giving a nuanced and detailed picture of one of the most tumultuous periods in European history. Through archival research and impeccable scholarship, the author shows how the Inquisition in the Spanish Netherlands was a key factor in the burgeoning Dutch revolt, and contributed heavily to the political and religious climate of both the Netherlands and of Europe as a whole during the 16th century.
