Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from William the Silent, Prince of Orange (1533-1584): And the Revolt of the Netherlands I should have preferred changing the title, having searched in vain for any contemporaneous justification of the adjective Silent as applied to the man. It was the Prince's political critics of a later period who instituted its use as a derogatory term. His own friends would never have recog nised it. But as English readers have adopted it quite without the association of a hostile slur, no alteration is made. It seemed wiser not to incur the risk of confusing this William of Orange with a later king by using the formal title alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, first published in 1944, the distinguished historian C. V. Wedgwood takes as her subject here the figure of William, Count of Nassau and Prince of Orange, who led the revolt of the Netherlands against the Spain of Philip II. The book is not only a masterpiece of biographical writing but a rich portrait of an age—a period of political, religious, and economic ferment that dramatically shaped the history of early modern Europe. ‘A reliable and well-balanced history of great events. Miss Wedgwood tells simply and accurately a series of moving, romantic and most important events, the first effective stand made in Europe against Spain and the Inquisition, the foundation of the Dutch Republic on the basis of freedom; and she tells these great historical events in the form of a biography centered round the figure of one man.’—G. M. Trevelyan, [London] Sunday Times ‘A very fine book. There is all the human interest of William’s life with all the historic importance for us of his achievement.’—A. L. Rowse, Observer ‘Miss Wedgwood, an authority on the period, has told William’s life story persuasively, with singular economy and charm....Superior scholarship, penetrating insight, lucid prose.’—Geoffrey Bruun

Excerpt: ... chapter xvii the union, the ban, and the abjuration 1578-158I in the summer of 1578, a convention called the Religious Peace was adopted by the StatesGeneral (July 22d) which embodied the Prince's ideas of a just and equitable modus vivendi for fellow-countrymen of different creeds. The two main points were the absence of religious tests for office and the provision that in any locality one hundred householders of one communion were to be free to celebrate their own rites. The articles were not universally accepted by the constituents of the deputies, Guelderland objecting for Protestant, Hainault for Catholic reasons, and there were all shades of dissension in between. And even when accepted they were not put in force except imperfectly at Antwerp, where the measure met with the greatest degree of practical success. The Reformers came rapidly to the fore as soon as leniency was evinced toward them. Exiles returned from England and very shortly there were enough to fill twelve or thirteen churches. Probably, too, the Prince's residence in the city gave the sectarians a greater confidence, while it also ensured fair play for the Catholics. At the same time, his uniform and consistent refusal to ignore Catholic rights alienated many of his devoted evangelical adherents, whose eyes could see nothing but culpable indifference to truth in his course. The criticism was not only bitter but so indiscriminating as to attack Count John too, although, in point of fact, he had scant sympathy with his brother's liberal views and was far more interested in bringing those of the "faith" together than in any abstract question of toleration for all opinions. To the Count's strenuous exertions was chiefly due the extension to a
