Reeds tijdens de blokkadejaren was er grote kritiek op de effectiviteit van deze blokkades. Toch bleven de opeenvolgende gouverneurs-generaal aan deze tactiek vasthouden. In deze scriptie is onderzocht waarom de gouverneurs-generaal ondanks al deze kritiek bleven vasthouden aan het middel blokkade, terwijl tegelijkertijd een oordeel over de effectiviteit van de blokkades is geveld.Show less

The job of this extraordinary judicial counsil was to punish the main actors that had caused so much trouble for the Habsburg regime during the 'Wonderjaar', the year 1566-1567 when an iconoclastic fury spread in the Netherlands. There is still very little known about the ways of the Counsil of Troubles, despite the fact that there is an abandunt of eyewitness testimonies preserverd, ready to be studied. This thesis is a first attempt to do this. It is done for the city Zaltbommel in Guelders. In Zaltbommel there was no fury, but a religieus accord was struck at 23 oktober 1566, explicitly against the wishes of the then governor Margaretha van Parma. Three persons were executed by the Counsil of Troubles, and at least thirty-six were banished. What was the method of the commissioners of Alba, who where sent to investigate and punish? With whom did they talk? And how much help did they receive from the inhabitants of Zaltbommel and its city council?Show less
