Amandine and the beggar

1568 – a religious war with a backdrop of political rivalries decimated the Spanish Netherlands and ruined lands that had been the richest and most industrialised in Europe. Every social class was affected. The poor, the merchants, the bourgeois — even the nobles who had tried to protect the freedoms enjoyed by the people since the Dukes of Burgundy. Their leader, the Count of Egmont, would pay with his life.
