April 12, 2025 Eighty Years’ War | Episode 7 - Desperately Seeking Sovereigns
During the Dutch revolt against their Lord, King Felipe II of Spain, seven rebel states united and removed the King from power. Some wanted to replace him with a French Prince, others with Prince Willem of Orange. After both Princes died in 1584, King Felipe believed everything would return to normal.
However, the Dutch continued their disobedience, but they desperately needed a sovereign to rule them. Perhaps King Henri III, or Queen Elizabeth I?
