Slide 7 - Slide
The highest Dutch nobles (mostly counts and dukes) ruled a province (gewest) in the function of "Stadtholder". They had sworn loyalty to their king (Philip II) and had promised to execute the king's policies in the Low Countries.
Margaret of Parma was appointed to be the governor (landvoogdes) of the Low Countries. She was the king's representative and was responsible that:
- there was peace in the provinces
- the taxes were paid.
- protestants were persecuted by the Inquisition
King Philip II ruled Spain and the Low Countries. Because he lived in Spain he left his half sister Margaret in charge of the Low Countries.
