Summary "The Rise of the Dutch Republic — Volume 32: 1582-84" by John Lothrop Motley is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The book delves deeply into the political and military events surrounding the struggle for Dutch independence from Spanish rule, specifically focusing on the tumultuous years of 1582 to 1584. It likely explores key figures such as William of Orange and the various intrigues that shaped the course of the Netherlands during this critical period. The opening of the volume provides a detailed narrative of the military operations and political machinations of the period. It describes the actions of Alexander Farnese, the Prince of Parma, as he attempts to reclaim territory under siege and outlines his interactions with political figures, including the ambitious Duke of Anjou. This section also highlights the treachery and plots surrounding William of Orange and the numerous assassination attempts against him, setting the stage for the climax of events that hinge on loyalty, betrayal, and the fight for freedom in the Netherlands.
