HORN, PHILIP DE MONTMORENCY, COUNT

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 696 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HORN, PHILIP DE MONTMORENCY, COUNT of (1518-1568), a man of illustrious descent and
great
  possessions in the Nether-lands, became in succession under Charles V. and Philip II. stadtholder of Gelderland, admiral of Flanders and knight of the Golden Fleece. In 1559 he commanded the stately
fleet
  which conveyed Philip II. from the Netherlands to Spain, and he remained at the Spanish court till 1563. On his return he placed himself with the prince of Orange and Count Egmontat the head of the party which opposed the policy of Cardinal Granvella. When Granvella retired the three
great
  nobles continued to resist the introduction of the Spanish
Inquisition
  and of Spanish despotic
rule
  into the Netherlands. But though Philip appeared for a time to give way, he had made up his mind to visit the opponents of his policy with ruthless
punishment
 . The regent, Margaret, duchess of Parma, was replaced by the duke of Alva, who entered the Netherlands at the head of a veteran army and at once began to crush all opposition with a merciless hand. Orange fled from the country, but Egmont and Horn, despite his warning, decided to remain and face the
storm
 . They were both seized, tried and condemned as traitors, and were executed on the 5th of June 1568 in the great square before the town
hall
  at Brussels.
