The Duke of Alba established a regime of the most severe terror. A “unrest council” was established, which received the nickname “bloody council.” Mass arrests began on charges of rebellion, iconoclasm, and signing a “compromise.” Soon the bloody council began to hand down death sentences in the hundreds. Many nobles laid their heads on the chopping block. In the spring of 1568, Egmont and Horn were executed. The former, despite his loyalty and devotion to the monarchy, could seem very dangerous as the military leader of a possible uprising. The wealthy bourgeoisie also suffered greatly. Those who could escape, despite the strictest prohibitions, emigrated abroad, mainly to England.
According to some reports, in just six years, 6-8 thousand people were executed by the “bloody council”, but the purpose of the terror was not only to deal with the “heretic” rebels, but also to increase royal income, since the executions were accompanied by confiscations of property in favor of the king. Alba boasted that this financial transaction he delivered 500 thousand gold income to the king.
It seemed that the terrorist regime of the Duke of Alba did not provoke serious resistance. Spanish garrisons kept the country in subjection. But every day the number of people of all classes, unsettled, ruined, unemployed, fleeing from executions and executions, extremely embittered, and despairing, increased. The population fled to remote places, to forests. Here detachments of “forest brothers” and “forest guez” were created, which attacked churches and monasteries. But they could not provide serious resistance to Alba’s troops. The population of the coastal provinces, starving from unemployment, sailors and fishermen of Friesland, Zealand and Holland went to sea and rushed into privateering. Their commanders often turned out to be Calvinist nobles who had escaped the executioners of the “bloody council.” These “sea guerrillas” attacked both their own and other people’s ships. Sea relations with Spain became difficult.
Emigration also organized its forces to fight Alba. The soul of the whole affair was William of Orange and his brother Louis. Wilhelm tried to win over the German princes and negotiated with the French Huguenots. With the money collected, a rather motley army was hired, with which William invaded the country in 1568, hoping to start an uprising. But he did not find support among the terrorized population. Alba inflicted several defeats on William, there was not enough money to continue the campaign, and William's army disintegrated.
After repelling the attack of William of Orange, the Duke of Alba felt very secure. “The inhabitants are very happy,” he wrote to the king, “and there is no nation in the world that would be easier to govern than this one, if only you know how to lead it.”
Already at the beginning of 1568, he began to fulfill the task for which he was sent to the Netherlands - to Spanishize the country, to turn it into a Spanish province. Alba seeks to destroy her political and social system to the ground. “We need to create,” he wrote to the king, “absolutely new world, and God forbid we can cope with this, since destroying the customs that have taken root among such a freedom-loving people as the Dutch have always been is not an easy task. I will work tirelessly on this.”
The State Council was removed from business. The Duke of Alba consulted only with some of his closest Spaniards and proposed to appoint a new council of Spaniards. New bishoprics were finally established, the question of which had caused so much displeasure for so long. But the main thing was a fundamental change in the financial system in the Netherlands, which would allow the most possible to be pumped out of the country with the least amount of effort. “You can extract,” Alba wrote to the king, “everything you want from this country, to which until now you have had to make endless concessions for every florin provided to you, and do them in such a way that I, your simple squire, will not Why wouldn’t I put up with it.” But this attack of the feudal monarchy on bourgeois wealth failed. It was these attempts by the Duke of Alba to introduce a new taxation system that encountered decisive resistance and were the immediate cause of the uprising.
Here it is - the first (and I hope not the last) tactic on our site.
Let me remind you that on January 20, the next wing of the Icecrown Citadel becomes available - the Crimson Hall. We will talk to you about the first boss in this wing - the Council of Bloody Princes - in this article.
I would also like to note that if your guild has not yet killed Professor Putricide, it doesn’t matter. The Crimson Hall and the Plagued House are wings independent of each other raid dungeon, so you can get there immediately after defeating Saurfang.
So, welcome to cat.
Any tactic begins with a description of abilities. This was not done “for show”. Knowing the abilities (often it is important to simply separate for yourself those that are critical and falling under their influence is highly undesirable, and those that can be easily healed), you can independently think through a battle strategy or even invent your own tactics.
The Council of Bloody Princes is a trio of bloody princes resurrected by the Lich King to serve Queen Lana'tel (the second boss of the Crimson Hall).
Prince Keleseth's abilities:
Prince Taldaram's abilities:
Prince Valanar's Abilities
General features and description of the battle
The fight with the Bloody Consuls does not contain phases and consists entirely of a set of alternating abilities of each of the princes. Let's look at the general course of the battle.We will need two regular tanks and one ranged fighter (ideally a warlock).
Blood Spell one of the princes gets it randomly and only this prince can be attacked. The other two have 1 HP each and cannot be killed. Blood Spell is transferred to different princes, and the group of damage dealers must switch from target to target accordingly. Prince Valanar is always the first to receive the buff.
A Warlock with the Void Defense talent is an ideal tank for Prince Keleseth. When Keleseth summons a Dark Core near him, the Warlock should gain aggro on both and stand 15 yards near the Dark Core to receive a buff that reduces damage taken from dark magic. This will help him get through Spear of Sinister Shadows when will it pass to the prince Blood Spell. It is worth noting that if a tank does not have at least 2 stacks of protective aura, it will die. 3 stacks make him completely invulnerable to dark magic. Therefore, Keleseth’s tank is faced with the task of constantly maintaining the effect of Shadow Resonance, so that when the boss becomes stronger, he can easily take on the deadly spears.
Prince Valanar uses Kinetic bombs , which can and should be hit, thereby forcing them to rise higher into the air and preventing an explosion. In addition, the prince throws on random players in the raid Concussive Vortex , knocking back the victim and players standing next to him 50 meters in a straight line (much like the Yetty in Trial of the Crusader). When it's Valanar's turn to get charged Blood Spells, he begins to throw everyone within 30 meters of him into the air. Melee fighters should move away from the prince.
Prince Taldaram is thrown With dazzling sparks in front of itself and launches at a random player in the raid Sorcerer's Flame , which deals less damage the longer it flies after the player. Blood Spell gives this spell new power -
In the second half of the 16th century, Spain was ruled by one of the most famous kings, Philip I. Partly because the country had reached a certain stage in its development by this time, partly because of the character traits of this strange monarch, the power of the Inquisition at that time increased to such to the extent that the entire country was under her rule.
Philip was at that time the most powerful prince in the world, but such a burden proved too much for him, and if he failed, it was not from lack of zeal or fidelity to his goals, but from lack of imagination and lack of natural talent necessary for a great ruler.
There was no monarch in the world with a keener sense of duty; It was not his fault that he thought slowly and in his calculations often could not take into account all the moves of his opponents. His father taught him to reign; Philip tried to follow his father's methods, although his father, Emperor Charles, could not help but understand that new times require new methods. Philip, owner of half the world, suspicious, malevolent, secretive fanatic, was not a strong enough man to play the role of the most powerful monarch in the world.
He wanted to plant the Catholic faith in all subject countries, and no country suffered more from these claims of his than the Netherlands.
The people of this long-suffering country, who had the misfortune of being under Spanish rule, expressed a clear desire to profess Protestantism; however, even in Spain itself (where this religion never had roots) Protestants were not persecuted as fiercely as in the Netherlands.
Emperor Charles himself, born in Flanders, was closer to the Flemings than to the Spaniards, but he was responsible for imposing Catholicism on a people who strongly resisted it. It is strange that Emperor Charles still gave Luther the opportunity to escape persecution, although he was in the power of the emperor. True, Luther was guaranteed freedom of movement, but this was not yet a guarantee of security, and rulers could, if they wished, find a way to break their own promises. Yet Luther was given the opportunity to state his creed and leave.
Thirty years later, at the time of his abdication, Charles very much regretted that he did not send Luther to the stake, considering this his serious mistake. However, the emperor did not miss the opportunity to correct his mistake later. He used his power to actively fight With Lutheranism in the Netherlands.
A decree was issued prohibiting the publication of Protestant books in the Netherlands, and severe penalties were established for disobedience. In 1522, Charles appointed Francis van der Hulst of Brabant as Grand Inquisitor of the Netherlands. The latter, like many of his predecessors, was so cruel that he himself was saved from revenge only by timely flight. After his reign, the country should have been given a break, but Charles was determined to eradicate Lutheranism in the Netherlands. He constantly demanded the death penalty for all heretics, wanting to eradicate heresy “with fire and sword.” These orders were carried out by his subordinates.
Few people were even interested in the nationality of the victim, as long as the person was a Protestant. One of these victims was the Englishman William Tyndale, whose whole crime was that he translated New Testament into your native language. Expelled by Henry VIII, this man lived and worked in Antwerp as a pauper. He longed to return to England, but Henry refused him this. In 1535, Tyndale lived with the English merchant Points, who was interested in Lutheranism. Unfortunately, someone turned Tyndale over to the authorities as a dangerous heretic, after which he was arrested and sent to a fortress near Brussels, where he was kept for fourteen months.
This prisoner had friends in England, and Pointe also worked for him. He himself went to England to plead for Tyndale; however, instead the poor fellow was arrested there on charges of heresy. True, Points was luckier than Tyndale: he managed to escape.
Tyndale remained in prison, ready to accept martyrdom. He was known among the exiles as a very virtuous man. They said that he provided, albeit modest, financial assistance to other exiles, and also supported people who fell into need. This became possible thanks to the support of his like-minded people, Antwerp merchants who stood for the Protestant faith, who collected funds and paid benefits to the Englishman himself; The money he received, they say, he spent entirely on the needs of other people.
On October 6, 1536, this man was led to the stake. They say that he calmly awaited his fate and said before his execution: “Lord, open the eyes of the English king!” Rule, in his History of the Inquisition, writes that Tyndale was burned alive, but other historians claim that he was strangled before being burned. Rule, as an ardent Protestant, was inclined to paint Catholics with only dark colors. In 1522, the Augustinian brothers in Antwerp declared themselves Protestants. Several of them were burned, and one was drowned in the river. These terrible sentences did not shake the resolve of the noble Dutch. Having accepted the ideas of Protestantism, they did not intend to deviate from them. When Philip II took his father's place, the terror intensified even more. Now they began to burn men and bury women alive. Some priests were also burned because they accepted the new faith and got married. They also tell about one case when a family of six people who accepted the Protestant faith was burned.
All these horrors seem to have only increased the resolve of the Dutch, instead of intimidating them. Perhaps Protestantism was a religion suited to their national character, or perhaps they were simply accustomed to independence of opinion and used to deciding their own affairs. These people were not inclined to obediently accept any teaching just because their rulers considered it necessary.
In those years when the Spanish Inquisition brought down violent persecution on this freedom-loving people, the soil of Flanders was abundantly watered with the blood of martyrs. Already by the time of Charles’s abdication, the number of victims, according to various estimates, ranged from 50,000 to 100,000 people. Charles himself wrote that he wanted to introduce the Spanish Inquisition in the Netherlands to prevent the spread of heresy from Germany, France, and England. He concluded that all heretics were subject to the death penalty and their property should be confiscated. Charles admitted that such severity could arouse the anger of the people, but insisted that he was forced to do all this out of necessity.
When the emperor decided to retire from the world to a monastery, he handed the reins of power to his son Philip. The main suffering for the people of the Netherlands was ahead.
The introduction of the Inquisition in the Netherlands caused active rejection of the people. How different these people were from the people of Aragon, who, after the murder of Inquisitor Arbuez, instead of supporting those who called for an uprising, demanded their blood! (For the Aragonese, Catholicism was a domestic faith, associated with their country; for the Dutch, it was a faith imposed by the invaders. - Per.)
The people of the Netherlands were determined to honor God as they saw fit. The country began to experience unrest. In August 1566, three hundred people with clubs and axes burst into churches in the vicinity of Saint-Omer and began to destroy icons revered by Catholics. Then, the same pogroms occurred in Ypres, Menin, Valenciennes and other cities and, finally, in Antwerp. Rumors about this quickly spread throughout the country. Riots began in large cities such as Rotterdam and Haarlem, but soldiers called by the authorities refused to use force against the rioters.
These crowds, consisting of uneducated people, broke into churches, imitated Catholic priests, making obscene gestures, and burned icons and valuable books. It is said that the damage done to Antwerp Cathedral alone was estimated at four hundred thousand ducats.
When news of the rebellion reached Brussels, the regent Margaret of Parma, illegitimate daughter of Emperor Charles and cousin of Philip, declared that the country should be protected from rebels who wanted to destroy religion.
Many nobles of the Netherlands were dissatisfied with the regency of Margaret of Parma, as they saw it as a threat to freedom of religion. The most prominent representatives of the noble opposition were Egmont, Horn and William of Orange. The latter was destined to become one of the great historical figures.
He was born on April 25, 1533 in Dillenburg, Nassau, into a Lutheran family who tried to give him an appropriate upbringing. This, however, did not please Emperor Charles, and when the boy was twelve years old, Charles took William away from his parents to be raised as a Catholic by Mary, the emperor's sister.
Wilhelm was an amazingly smart boy. The emperor became attached to him and, from the age of fifteen, took him in as one of his court pages. Karl fell in love with Wilhelm and more than once gave him delicate assignments. During the abdication ceremony, the emperor leaned on the shoulder of his pupil. Charles also asked his son Philip to find a use for the talent of the young courtier and not leave his services without rewards.
Obviously, Karl regretted that Wilhelm was not his own son. If the emperor could look into the near future, he would have changed his mind, since William of Orange became exactly the man who freed his long-suffering country from Spanish tyranny. Wilhelm, in turn, treated Karl with respect. The Flemings at that time respected their emperor, because, although he could be harsh, he was still one of them. They offered open resistance only when his place was taken by Philip, a Spaniard in essence and spirit.
When Oransky was eighteen years old, he married Anna Egmont, who died a few years later. He then married Anna of Saxony, a staunch Lutheran, which caused the obvious displeasure of Philip, who by that time had taken his father's place. This marriage was upset thirteen years later when Anna returned to Germany. The fact that Wilhelm could not find satisfaction in marriage may explain his penchant for love affairs.
Despite his love of society and secular manners, Wilhelm was not a man of easy disposition and had the nickname Silent, since he spoke little, but at the same time knew how to be eloquent when necessary. Courage and excellent manners ensured this man’s popularity, and his lack of talkativeness was very useful quality for a politician. William of Orange possessed much of the talents of the great leader he became. In addition, he had another excellent quality - he was a principled opponent of religious persecution and sincerely believed in the right of people to freedom of belief.
It was said about this man that with Catholics he was a Catholic, and with Lutherans he was a Lutheran.
Perhaps it was the great struggle against Spanish oppression that made him a Protestant; however, the main thing William of Orange fought for was the freedom of his people. If he had been a fanatic, he could hardly have become such an outstanding leader. Philip's failures were largely due to his fanaticism. It is interesting to compare his failures, as well as the failures of his wife Mary I of England, also a fanatic, with the successes of Elizabeth I of England, who could privately call for “a plague on both your houses,” but publicly pretended that she treated everyone well.
Having learned about what was happening in the Netherlands, Philip is said to have said: “I swear on my father’s soul, this will cost them dearly!” He kept his word.
William of Orange knew that the time had come to either fight or flee. He was not yet ready for the first one and, as a smart person, chose to leave the Netherlands. The rebellion was suppressed; Duchess Margarita was able to temporarily restore peace in the country. But she was not inclined to have mercy on those who rebelled against Catholicism, and decided to severely punish the criminals. She sent troops to the Netherlands so that, upon noticing meetings of Protestants, the soldiers would run over them with horses, shoot at them, or capture and execute them. In many cases there was not even an investigation. Anyone suspected of sympathizing with Protestantism was simply hanged.
Meanwhile, King Philip decided to send an army led by the Duke of Alba to the Netherlands.
This was the beginning of bloody events.
This victorious general was known for his cruelty even before his arrival in the Netherlands. Arriving there, he placed garrisons in all major cities. The military received the broadest powers, and it is unnecessary to explain what arbitrariness and violence the population was subjected to. Modern writers note that the oppression of the Spaniards was intolerable and that every person whose property attracted invaders was immediately accused of heresy in order to confiscate his property. People lived in fear, and many left the country, taking with them everything they could take. William of Orange had already left the country by this time, and Egmont and Horn were arrested. Cardinal Granwelle, who knew the situation in the Netherlands well, upon learning of the arrest of Egmont and Horn, asked: “Has the Silent One fallen into a trap?” Having received a negative answer, the cardinal declared: “If they did not capture Orange, then they did not capture anyone.”
Alba's first act was to create a tribunal to investigate the recent riots, with extraordinary powers. It was called the Council under the Commander-in-Chief (Council on Unrest Affairs). It consisted of twelve judges, the most famous of whom was Juan de Vargas, known for his particular cruelty. The people of the Netherlands nicknamed this trial the “Bloody Council.”
The terror has begun. Here already known measures were applied. Spouses were threatened to testify against each other, and children were forced to testify against their parents. If they refused to testify, the defendants were subjected to torture. Suspects who were in hiding were put on the wanted list, and heralds in the cities shouted out the names of those wanted, announcing that anyone who knew about their whereabouts and did not report to the authorities would himself be suspected of heresy. One day in 1568, on an “ominous Wednesday,” 500 people were arrested at night in Brussels, taken to prison and sentenced to death.
In those days, those suspected of heresy and participation in rebellion were seized everywhere. If the victim was a poor man, such a person was immediately hanged. Death sentences (by gallows, beheading or burning at the stake) then became commonplace. The type of execution depended on the judges, who were often ignorant and cruel military men. Staunch Protestants were subjected to the most cruel execution - burning.
The Duke of Alba and his assistant Vargas seemed to enjoy their own cruelty. They say that Vargas, waking up in the morning, shouted: “Hang! Hang!" Alba says in a letter to King Philip: “I am going to arrest the richest and most dangerous rebels. I constantly have to look into each of their cases, because I am bothered with petitions and petitions on each case. They completely tormented me with their pestering.” These words expressed both the Duke of Alba’s cynicism towards the people to whom he had caused so much suffering, and his intoxication with his own power.
And again we have before us an example of the terrible consequences that fanaticism leads to. The cities of the Netherlands were now devastated, and the country lost the former prosperity created by its active merchants. Thousands of people fled to Germany, which willingly accepted the fugitives.
The ruler, Duchess Margaret, abdicated. Of course, she believed that all rebels should be punished, but she considered such a war against the people as a whole to be both cruel and stupid. She lived in Parma until her son Farnese became regent, whom she began to help. There is information that King Philip, aware of the criticism of this policy in many countries, decided to justify Alba’s actions in the Netherlands and refer the matter to the Madrid Inquisition. The Tribunal ruled that all those guilty of heresy or apostasy, as well as those who call themselves good Catholics, but nothing. done to punish heretics are equally guilty of treason against the church and the state. The punishments for such crimes were well known, and since almost all citizens of the Netherlands were guilty of such acts, they should all be sentenced to death with confiscation of property. This should have served as an example for the future: there was no need to expect mercy from the Spaniards.
Historian Prescott doubts the complete reliability of this story, but it has been retold more than once by authors whom he has no reason to distrust. He believes that “no cruelty can be unreasonably attributed to the Inquisition, but it is difficult to believe that such an intelligent ruler as Philip II, even though he wanted to see his support in the Holy Office, could commit such absurd and politically incorrect actions” (“The History of Philip II ").
When Emperor Maximilian protested to Philip against repression in the Netherlands, the king replied: “I did all this for the sake of pacifying the provinces and protecting the Catholic faith. I would do the same even if it caused a general rebellion in the Netherlands and even if the whole world lay in ruins" (Correspondence of Philip II).
It was for this fanaticism that Philip paid with the crisis of his empire. At this very time, exiles from the Netherlands gathered around the man whom they considered the savior of the country. William the Silent in Dillenburg made plans for war.
At first there were two unsuccessful expeditions, led by Gostyrathen and Villers, but then, at Geiligerley, Ludwig of Nassau, brother of William of Orange, defeated the army of Alba. The people of the Netherlands took heart, but the rage of the Duke of Alba knew no bounds. Horn and Egmont were executed, Wilhelm and his brother Ludwig were sentenced to lifelong exile, and their estates were confiscated.
Of course, it was impossible to exterminate the entire nation, and these executions did not seem to intimidate the Dutch. Three years after arriving in the Netherlands, Alba had to proclaim an amnesty to all Flemings who would henceforth become loyal subjects of Philip II.
Hume, in his book “Spain - Greatness and Decline,” expresses the opinion that the main reason for the rebellion of the Dutch against the Spanish yoke was not religion, but their love of money. Philip introduced a ten percent tax on all transactions there (the so-called “alcabala”). The merchants, who created the wealth of Flanders, did not like this very much, and they did not want to endure such damage to the economy.
Philip II often borrowed money from Flemish bankers; now they announced that they had become bankrupt due to the conditions in which trade was placed, and could no longer lend money to the king. Then Philip began to doubt whether the Duke of Alba was true. does business in the Netherlands. His actions caused protests in different countries, and, most importantly, Alba had enemies in Madrid itself. The main one, Antonio Perez, later played a role in one of the dramatic episodes associated with the Inquisition.
In 1573, the Duke of Alba, whose mission to conquer the Netherlands ended in ignominious failure, was recalled from that country. They say this shame “nearly broke his heart,” but it was nothing compared to the suffering he brought to thousands of people. His place was taken by Don Luis de Requesens, who received orders to pursue a more flexible policy.
Protestants were persecuted in the Netherlands with particular cruelty and scope, since in this case the Inquisition had to fight against an entire people. In Spain, Protestantism, with the exception of two outbreaks in Seville and Valladolid, was a rare phenomenon.
It is unknown exactly how many people were directly affected by Alba. Of course, it was impossible to destroy a people of three million, but Alba is said to have boasted that during his reign 18,600 people died and about 60,000 fled the country to escape the bloodthirstiness of his henchmen.
| | de Bloedraad) is the name established in Dutch historiography for the so-called “Council for Troubles” (“Raad van beroerte”, “Conseil des troubles”), which existed from 1573 in the Spanish Netherlands. The Council was established on September 6, 1567 by the Spanish Viceroy Duke of Alba and Attorney General Jacob Hessels, by order of King Philip II, as a weapon for the suppression of civil and religious liberties. For its cruelty, unprecedented in local history, the “Unrest Council” was soon nicknamed “ Bloody Council om."
- Count A.K. Tolstoy wrote about that time.The ruler of Spain went to war,
Threatening chains to the free people!
The council sentenced the counts of Egmont and Horn - and 8,948 others - to death. According to documented data, 1073 people were executed, including the aforementioned Counts of Egmont and Horn on June 5, 1568 in Brussels. In addition, 11,130 people were expelled. Prince William of Orange was sentenced to death in absentia.
However, all these repressions could not stop the national revolutionary movement, soon led by William of Orange.
And, without waiting for an answer from the guard who stood aside, Dolokhov walked up the hill at a pace.
Noticing the black shadow of a man crossing the road, Dolokhov stopped this man and asked where the commander and officers were? This man, a soldier with a sack on his shoulder, stopped, came close to Dolokhov’s horse, touching it with his hand, and simply and friendlyly said that the commander and officers were higher on the mountain, on the right side, in the farm yard (that’s what he called the master’s estate).
Having driven along the road, on both sides of which French dialect could be heard from the fires, Dolokhov turned into the courtyard of the manor’s house. Having passed through the gate, he dismounted from his horse and approached a large blazing fire, around which several people were sitting, talking loudly. Something was boiling in a pot on the edge, and a soldier in a cap and blue overcoat, kneeling, brightly illuminated by the fire, stirred it with a ramrod.
“Oh, c"est un dur a cuire, [You can’t deal with this devil.],” said one of the officers sitting in the shadows on the opposite side of the fire.
“Il les fera marcher les lapins... [He will get through them...],” said another with a laugh. Both fell silent, peering into the darkness at the sound of the steps of Dolokhov and Petya, approaching the fire with their horses.
