Description: The Nobility of Holland by H.F.K. Nierop, Maarten Ultee Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Though the age of Rembrandt is considered to have seen the obliteration of the Dutch nobility in favour of bourgeois merchants, this study claims that the nobles were far more successful at maintaining their positions of power than has previously been thought. A revised edition of a successful Dutch text. Publisher Description This book is the first full scale analysis of the social and political transformation of the nobility of Holland during the revolt against Spain. In the late medieval country of Holland the nobility played a significant role, but in the seventeenth century they appear to have been obliterated by bourgeois merchants and urban regents. In this new book the author argues that this decline needs reexamination, and bases his study round three key aspects: the demographic evidence for the decline of the nobility, the economic vicissitudes of the sixteenth century, and the political and administrative powers of the nobility during the reigns of Charles V and Philip II. His conclusions are surprising, showing the Dutch nobility to be extremely successful in maintaining its position in a bourgeois republic and as forming the elite in administrative, political and economic systems.
