Winckell a furious battaile was fought wherein the Hollanders hauing the worst cont Arnold with a great number of the chiefe of his nobilitie were slaine in the yeare 993 the day after S. Lambert which was the eighteenth of October hauing gouerned Holland and Zeeland fiue yeares after the decease of his father he is interred in the abbie of Egmont by his father and grandfather leauing his eldest sonne Thierry the third for his successor in the said earledomes Hee had also another sonne called Ziffrid the Frisons call him Sicco who being fallen in disgrace with his father to auoid his displeasure went voluntarily into exile into the countrie of Friseland where he was courteously receiued by Gosso Ludingama then Potestat or gouernour of the Frisons with whose daughter he fell in loue and married hir without the priuitie of the earle his brother of whome hee had two sonnes the eldest he called Thierry by his grandfathers name and Simon Afterward Ziffrid being reconciled to his father was made his lieutenant in the quarter of Kennemerland and had for his part a portion of land measured with the great yard the word of Breede-roede signifieng a Great Yard so as euer since the siegneorie of the said Ziffrid hath retained the name of Brederode vnto this day His father did also giue him the castell of Theylingen the which Ziffrid did giue and bequeath vnto Simon his yoongest sonne from whome discended the familie of Theylingen at this present quite extinct by the death of two brethren which remained the which were both slaine in battaile by the Frisons with Cont William of Hainalt the fourth of that name their prince as wee shall hereafter see and how that also by the like accident of war we haue seene die without leauing any issue foure braue knights of the house of Brederode being yet in the flower of their youth not any one remaining of that house at this day but three bretheren the eldst Walrauen lord of BREDERODE baron of Vianen and of Ameyden Florent the second brother lately deceased left one sonne lord of Cloetinghen heire apparent of the whole house and Maximilian the youngest who liues in Brabant There are many of the same house bearing the same surname and armes but broken gentlemen come of bastards The Epitaph of this earle Arnold preserued with many others in the ruines of the said abbie of Egmont whereas most of the earles of Holland haue bene interred hauing bene recouered by me although it be but grossely composed as also the rest that follow yet could I not omit them for that they shewed their antiquitie the which is not wholy to be reiected Such was the Epitaph of the said earle and the ladie Lutgard his wife Gloria carnalis pernicibus euolat alis Et quasi non fuerit cum moriente perit Hic Comes Arnulphus patrioe tutela sepultus

was in number the fourth Earle of Holland and Zeeland and lord of Friseland Being come vnto the Principalitie he demaunded homage of the Frisons the which being denied him dissembling the discontent and the desire of reuenge he had for his fathers death he then surceased to make any further question attending some fitter opportunitie He tooke to wife in his fathers life time Withild daughter to the emperour Otho the second duke of Saxe whome he had of his second wife daughter to the Marquis of Austria Of which Withild Cont Thierry had two sonnes the eldest was called as his father and the fourth of that name earle of Holland the second was Floris earle of East-Friseland who after the death of his brother without children succeeded in the said counties of Holland Zeeland and siegneorie of Friseland After the death of Anfrid the 18 bishop of Vtrecht issued from the race of Charlemagne Adelbold descended from Manson a nobleman of the countrie of Friseland was chosen Bishop for his great knowledge as well in Diuinitie as in other liberall arts hee had bene Councellor to the emperour Henry the second he was the first bishop that began to aduance himselfe and to make war against the Hollanders For when as Thierry the third earle of Holland had liued some time in rest and peace and that Walbold deane of the Cathedrall church of Vtrecht was made bishop of Liege who before had bene chiefe chancellor to Adelbold dissuading him stil from all attempts of warre this Walbold being thus retired to his bishoprike Adelbold desirous of alterations would needs without any colour make warre against the Earle and the Hollanders The causes and motiues of this war were That Adelbold had animated the Frisons and fortified them to rise rebell against Cont Thierry their naturall lord moreouer this bishop had aduaunced a gentleman called Didier Bruno to bee earle of Bodegrauen and of Suvamerdam who did greatly wrong and oppresse the Hollanders his neighbours wherupon Cont Thierry went with his troups to assaile him and hauing defeated him in battaile hee expelled him by force out of his siegneorie The bishop bearing it impatiently to see his vassall thus expelled leuied an armie with an intent to restore him by force so the 9 of Iune in the yeare 1018 the bishop hauing brought his men to field betwixt Bodegraue Suvamerdam the earle Thierry went to charge them being accompanied by his brother Ziffrid lieutenant of Kennemerland by Iohn lord of Arkel the siegneor Iohn of Persin the vicount of Leyden and many other braue knights and gentlemen But this incounter proued vnfortunat for the bishop wherin he was defeated and put to rout There died on his side among the most remarkable Wyger Aduoe that is to say Aduocat generall of the diocesse of Vtrecht

Spanish yoke made the pacification of Gaunt in a maner conformable to the articles and propositions afore-said with the Prince of Orange and the states of Holland and Zeeland and there assotiates in the yeare 1575. This treaty of peace succeeding not as the Commander did well hope he returns againe to his course of war wherein he resolues to be obstinate He commanded the Seignior of Hierges to go to field with the Spaniards and Wallons and to attempt some good exploite in Holland or else where vnder the vnion of the States wherevpon Hierges marched directly before the towne and castell of Buren which is not far from Bomel belonging at this present to Phillip of Nassau Prince of Orange the which the Gouernor yeelded vp with out any shot of great ordynance or any force offred him The States would haue puthim to death for his base couardise but the Prince desiring to saue his life sent him prisoner to the Castle of Goude After the taking of Buren Hierges did also ceaze vpon some Castells in that quarter but of smale importance At that time there was an vniuersity erected in the towne of Leyden for Holland and Zeland by the States of the said two Prouinces indowing it with goodly preuiledges where-vnto were called from diuers parts Professors in all faculties allowing them good stipends This towne is faire neate and spatious diuided with diuers chanells in the best ayer of al Holland seemes most fit for the muses The 11. of Iune the Prince of Orange did marrie in the the towne of Bryele one of the Ilands of Holland the Lady Charlot of Bourbon daughter to the Duke of Montpensier for his third wife a Princesse indowed with singular piety by whome hee had six daughters as we shall hereafter shew The 18. of Iuly by the breake of day the Seignior of Hierges came with his army before the towne of Oudewater in Holland with an intent to beseege it he had marched with great speed all night to the end his comming might be vnknowne which bred a great amazement in them when they first discouered him At the same instant the ●…ort which was at the Scluse of the dike chanel which goes to Montfort and to Vtrecht within harguebuse shot of Oudewater was abandoned by the Scottishmen that were in it the which they neither fiered nor retired the munition as they ought to haue done This fort had beene good ●…o haue busied the Spaniards for some time and haue hindred their passage and therefore euere man thought yea the Spaniards themselues that it should not be so soone abandoned seeing that they might haue retired their soldiars at need And then the alarume was giuen in the towne and they began to giue order to fortefie and defend themselues Some countriemen thereabouts retired them-selues thether with their cattell and others went forth to draw them out of the neer pastures and to bring them into the towne Some Bourguers ill affected to that party found meanes to go and yeeld vnto the Spaniards to giue them intelligence of the whole estate of the towne yea they were seene to shew them some places Captaine Morcant a Wallon sallied forth with some of his troupes to fier certen houses standing vpō the dike on the other side of the riuer of Yssel towards Goude neere vnto the port and bridge the which he executed wherevpon there grew a skirmish in the which both he and his soldiars discharged themselues wel where there were some hurt and slaine of either side After which time they resolued not to issue forth any more for that they had to few men to hazard them lightly The same day and soone after there was an other fort abandoned halfe a league from the towne at a Scluse vpon the causey which goes to Goude on the same side where there was in garrison a captaine Geldrois called Willeken van Angren the which was an imputation vnto him for they held the place tenable and might haue succored the towne for that they might haue raised the said Scluse and cut the dike or causey of either side of the fort as they did at Goude and Oudewater to let the water of the Riuer of Yssel runne into the country and by that meames succor the beseeged with small gallies as they had of late done at Leyden but the Spaniard making hast to cast vp a dike against it hindred the water that it could not come soone enough from Goude to Oudewater On the other side he stopt the riuer of Issell in such sort towards Goude the tides being Low as the water at a spring tide could no more come vnto the towne as it was wont to disperse it selfe ouer the country by the said Scluses and now it began to couer it towards Goude In the towne ditches the water was not aboue a foote deepe so as the towne was enuironed and beseeged round from the first day in such sort as they could put no more soldiars into it as they desired and as necessity required They sent messengers to the Prince and States who might well passe but had no meanes to returne They sent others with Pigeons but neither they nor their Pigeons returned any more wherefore all this seege they had not any letters nor message from the Prince In the meane time all the Captaines Maiestrats soldiars and common people resolued with one generall consent to hold good euen vnto the death if need were and to imploy all their meanes and force for the defence of the towne And although it were in poore estate weake of all sides and of great garde hauing but foure small companies two of Wallons of Morcant and St. Mary one Flemish of Captaine Munter and one Scottish whose Captaine was absent and could not enter in all which companies were not aboue three hundred fighting men the nomber of Bourgers also was smale for that many were retired feeling the storme approch the hope of succors was smale or none at all yet not-with-standing all these difficulties they fainted not nor lost any courage This towne was of great importance and might easely and with smale charge haue bene made very strong and almost impregnable yet they had made but two rauelins towards the east The companies of Saint Mary Morcant and the Scottish were entred but fewe daies before for that the Spanish campe approched after much deniall especally that of Moroant who remayned fiue howers vpon the dike before he was assured whether hee should enter or not All townes doe commonly so refusing to receiue so great a garrison as is needfull of two mischeefs to auoyd the greater and so many haue beene and are often lost like vnto this as afterwards the towne of Countray and others but when they can no more haue it then they desire it but it is to late Some Captaines had also thought it good in the beginning too take vp the Scluses to couer the country

had confessed himselfe sufficiently vnto God and that hee had grounded the hope of his saluation vpon the merits of Iesus Christ the Redeemer and Sauiour of the world as those haue testified that were present at his death He desired to be interred with the ornaments armes and blason of the dukes of Brabant the which the French kings counsell did not thinke conuenient for feare of offending the king of Spaine This death of the duke of Aniou did breake the bankes which did bound and keepe in the ouerflowing ambition of the league in Fraunce for that they feared him more than the king but it began now to shew it selfe as you may reade at large in the French Inuentarie vnto which I will referre you for that it doth belong properly vnto that Historie Hee that brought the first newes of the duke of Aniou his death vnto the Estates in Holland was within one moneth after the murtherer of the prince of Orange as we will presently shew The third of Iuly the prince of Parma sent colonel Mondragon with fiue thousand men and tenne pieces of artillerie to goe and besiege the forts of Lillo and of Lyefkens hoek both opposite one vnto another at the mouth of the riuer of Escaut which goes from Antuerpe into the sea The Vicont of Gant then newly called Marquesse of Roubay besieged Lyefkens-hoek on Flanders side the which he caused to be battered with all speed being not yet fully finished where after he had spent three hundred canon shot he caused an assault to be giuen but at the first charge they were sharpely repulsed At the second assault hee caused certaine carts laden with hay and straw to be brought neere vnto the breach and to be set on fire which made such a smoake carried through the fort by the wind as the besieged being not able to stand at the rampar to withstand the furie of the assaylants they were forced the marquesse causing all that hee found armed to bee slaine and amongst the rest many bourgers of the towne of Antuerpe who were come for fresh supplyes He caused some to be hanged afterwards in cold bloud the which was deere for the Spaniards that were prisoners He also slew with his owne hand N. Berendrecht a captaine in the fort who in former time had beene steward to the prince of Espinoy his brother Colonell Petaine borne in Arras seeing the place forced and the massacre of his men hauing almost escaped was taken and brought before him being desirous to see him whom he also stabbed and being vpon the ground he caused his men to make an end of him exercising his accustomed rage and madnesse vpon all that hee could meet for hee was of such an humour as he cared not for the death of a man or two hauing begun tenne yeares before his first apprentiship of murthering vpon Cont Philip of Mansfeldt sonne to Cont Peter Ernest gouernour of Luxembourg in the towne of Brussels and the second a yeare or two after vpon a gentleman named Ponthus Naye Seignior of Chapelle in the open market place of Bethune being a prisoner in the hands of iustice These first beginnings in his youth could yield no good fruits in his riper age Whilest that the Marquesse was busied before this fort of Lyefkens-hoek the Superintendents of the towne of Antuerpe whom it imported more to guard the fort of Lillo sent a full companie of their best trained young men and some hundred men out of their sworne bands to fortifie the garrison who in the beginning were but sixe score men Soone after captaine Gau being come from Terneuse entred with a companie of Gascoines Mondragon beeing busie to plant his artillerie the said captaine Gau made a braue sally vpon the Bourguignons so as hee put fiue companies to rout with the losse of aboue a hundred and fiftie men bringing away two captaines prisoners The Seignior of Teligny sonne to the lord of la Noue was sent by the Estates of Brabant to commaund there who entred with good troupes of Frenchmen whereas a little before there were foure Scottish companies entred being of the regiment of colonel Balfour Mondragon seeking to plant foure canons vpon the dike on Zeeland side these Scottishmen sallyed forth thinking to take it from thence or else to cloye it but as the dike was too narrow to make any speed thither in troupe they could not aduaunce themselues but the Spaniards made head against them yet they did them a great affront slew about three hundred of them and carried away their master myner prisoner with them who discouered vnto the Seignior of Teligny all the mynes which Mondragon had caused to be digged remayning after that time in the Estates seruice where hee did discharge himselfe both faithfully and truely in his place of Master myner Mondragon after he had spent fiue hundred canon shot and made a faire breach he made his preparatiues to giue an assault vnto the fort The besieged perceiuing it they presently made a spacious myne vnder the breach which they should assayle that hauing drawne their enemies thither and then they retyring as if they gaue backe to blow it vp The inuention was not bad if it had beene well followed But as the besieged went out by the sayd breach to goe and encounter with their enemies comming to the assault making presently their retreat and being pursued euen into the breach he that had charge of the said myne gaue fire too soone so as there were some thirtie of their owne men blowne vp and no harme done to the Spaniards that pursued them whom the canon of the fort notwithstanding did much annoy and tooke from them all appetite to approch any neerer They of Antuerpe sent two great canons more with the which they did dismount a part of the enemies artillerie Colonel Mondragon finding that notwithstanding all his endeauours he could not stop the passage of the riuer but that they of Lillo receiued what they needed from Antuerpe the better to stop this passage he caused certaine ordinance to be planted on the other side of the riuer right opposite vnto the sort and neere vnto Lyefkens hoek which might shoot close by the water euen vnto Lillo but for all that they did not forbeare to goe in and out and to passe and repasse from Holland and Zeeland to Antuerpe and seeing that they made no esteeme thereof he brought other artillerie to the dike that was broken at Calloo where the riuer was most narrow assuring himselfe that by that meanes hee should take away their nauigation but he preuailed no more than before In the end the prince of Parma considering the strength of the place the which had alwaies a port open by the riuer and could not bee taken away hearing also that the besieged were reenforced with fifteene or sixteene companies and sufficiently prouided of all things necessarie hee commaunded him to rayse his siege not without shame and losse hauing spent three weekes

had yet not contenting him-selfe with the Magistrate and people of the said towne which is one of the Hans Imperial townes held immediatly of the Empire and that they had freely and willingly receiued him for their protector and in respect thereof did giue him an annuell pension or gratuity he sought by all meanes to make them his Vassalls yea rather his slaues and to depriue them of all their Imperiall priuiledges granted by so many good Emperors taking violently from them their ancient liberties and freedomes But in the end he reaped little honor lesse profit of all his attempts surcharging his poore subiects of the champian country to maintaine his attempts against the said towne But let vs finish this busines Among the said papers there were some found making mention of this enterprise and how it should be managed whereby the Maigistrat knew plainely what the Earles practise and intent was which made them seeke to seze vpon the partisans of this conspiracy wherof some fled and left the towne wherevpon the Maigistrate was induced although that the towne were greatly charged to giue order to the captaine to leuy 300. men at their charge writing vnto Cont Willian Lewis of Nassau gouernor of the contries of Freezeland and Groning for the Estates that it would please him for their preseruation if neede required to assist them with some men to be redy at hand The said gouernor not onely granted them but he also caused some of the captaines of the neighbor garrisons to discharge some of their men who were presently entertained by them of Emden so long as this trouble continued which was to the end of May and was appeazed by the death of the Cofrer and of Iohn Groenen who were beheadded and by the banishment of some other prisoners whereof some were condemned in great fines Then the Earle tooke occasion to complaine of them of Emden to the Imperial chamber accusing them to haue broken the contract where-vpon he obtayned a commission of adiornement the which was signified vnto them to appeere in the said chamber the 16. of August the same yeare 1598. At which day he propounded for a complaint among other things that they of Emden had with the soldiars of the vnited Prouinces made an irruption vpon the lands and iurisdictions of Marienhoue Visquart Prostthumb and other places to haue taken many prisoners to haue put to death Iohn Groenen and Iohn Kemps after they had greeuously tortured them to haue vnworthely intreated his two sonnes the Earles Iohn and Christoper being at Emden with his instructions and by his commandement to haue vsed a notary ill to haue forced a new oth from the youth of the towne with other points where-vpon the Earle and they of Emden entred into new quarrells one against another and the ould were reuiued of the issue wherof we will treat in the yeare following We haue made mention of an Edict made by the King of Spaine at Pardo by the which he dispensed with him-selfe not to pay his debts retayn●…ng all his assiguations vpon his reuenues giuen by him in payment vnto Marchants which had furnished him with great summes But now meaning to discharge his conscience better and fealing him-selfe at the graues brinke hee made another contract of the 14 of February this yeare 1598. with Hector Pocamillo Ambrosio Somola Francisco de Maluenda and Iohn Iacomo Grimaldi hauing ample Procuration from all the other Marchants who dad negotiated with his Maiesty for the lending of mony By the which contract hauing first excused him-selfe for that which was giuen at Pardo he confirmes the assignations giuen by him vpon the said demaynes vpon condition that for an ouer plus and new Loane they should furnish him with the summe of seauen millions and two hundred thousand ducatspaiable euery moneth two hundred and fifty thousand ducats to the Archduke Cardinall Albert to defray the charges of the warre in the Netherlands and that for the space of 19 moneths whereof the first paiment should be expired the last of Ianuary the said yeare 98. making for the Netherlands foure millions and a halfe The rest to be payed in his realme of Spaine or else where at his good pleasure And by this meanes the King of Spaine being resolued to giue his daughter the Infanta vnto the Cardinall Albert would shew that he would not leaue him in need of mony for the continuance of the warre against the vnited Prouinces There is in Flanders a fort called Patience which a Wallon corporall in the yeare 1595. deliuered vnto the Estates of Zeeland there were this yeare some French men in garrison in this fort who dealing after the same manner with the Estates sold it and deliuered it vnto the Spaniards In the midest of Aprill the Duke of Writembergh Earle of Montbeliard sent an ambassador to the vnited Prouinces to demande that his subiects might trafficke freely vnder their safe conduct throughout the Netherlands by the riuer of Neckar which descends into the Rhine and that they would furnish him with some sufficient man for riuers and waters to make the said riuer of Neckar more nauigable His demand was granted touching the commerce and with the Ambassador there was sent on Iohn Bradley a man very expert in water works The 9. of Iuly the town of Calais was restored to the French King into the hands of the Earle of S. Pol and the Siegnor of Viques who was made Gouernor entring into it with 2000. men after that the artillery and munition had beene drawne forth according to the contract and sent to S.
