To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This wouldhave certainly been the case in matters strictly religious, or even hadthe commissioners arrived two years before, but even Philip believed, perhaps, that for the moment almost enough innocent blood had been shed. At any rate he suffered the legates from Utrecht to return, not withtheir petition, granted, but at least with their heads upon theirshoulders. Early in the following year, the provinces still remainingunder martial law, all the Utrecht charters were taken into thepossession... of government, and deposited in the castle of Vredenberg. It was not till after the departure of Alva, that they were restored;according to royal command, by the new governor, Requesens.
By the middle of the year 1569, Alva wrote to the King, with greatcheerfulness of tone, announcing that the estates of the provinces hadall consented to the tax. He congratulated his Majesty upon the factthat this income might thenceforth be enjoyed in perpetuity, and that itwould bring at least two millions yearly into his coffers, over and abovethe expenses of government.
