Anthony van Dyck (Flemish/Spanish Netherlands, 1599-1641) Portrait d'un homme de qualité avec son fils, 1625-50 Musée du Louvre

The Spanish Netherlands, (c. 1579-1713), Spanish-held provinces located in the southern part of the Low Countries (roughly corresponding to present Belgium and Luxembourg). As Holland represents only a portion of the Netherlands, or "Low Countries," a brief account of the greater includes the less. The Low Countries were included in the empire of Charlemagne and christianized. During the latter part of the Middle Ages the cities of the Netherlands rose to a very high state of prosperity, and some of them became independent republics. Charles V of Spain formally added the Netherlands to the Spanish crown. In 1555 he resigned his rule over the Low Countries to his son Philip II. Charles had persecuted the Protestants, but Philip outdid him in bigotry and cruelty. He was resisted by the Dutch, led by William of Orange. In 1567 the Duke of Alva came from Spain with a large army. Alva's Bloody Council condemned the Netherlanders by wholesale, merely for the sake of their religion and patriotism, and in 1568, sentence of death was pronounced against all the inhabitants of the Netherlands, with only a few exceptions, as heretics. The bloody struggle continued many years, and the Prince of Orange gained ground, but lost it through the terrible massacre of St. Bartholomew. The little town of Alkmaar withstood a great Spanish army and finally drove the besiegers away by cutting the dikes and flooding the country. In 1573 Alva was recalled by Philip II. Leyden, the seat of the ancient university, was also besieged, held out for five months, and was delivered by cutting the dikes. The Dutch navies were nearly always victorious, and the heroic Netherlands, after many struggles and severe trials, made their country a refuge from religious oppression. The Puritans, driven from England, found freedom there, and left Holland only to found colonies in America and elsewhere. The struggle with Spain had to be carried on for centuries. After many ups and downs, the Republic of the Netherlands had another William of Orange, a Stadholder of Holland, until he was called to the English throne, in 1688. The thrifty Dutch established successful colonies in all parts of the world. William I, II, and III were kings of the Netherlands nearly all the 19th century.

Vlad Tepes, Dracula - Vampire

There is darkness in life and there is light, and you are one of the lights, the light of all lights. ~ BRAM STOKER, Dracula, a legend. But long before the legend was Prince Vlad Dracul. Dracula marks the beginning of Gothic literature. The vampire myth, immortal, drinking the blood of its victims and turning them into vampires, appears in different forms in the popular imagination. Certainly, the most famous vampire remains Count Dracula, originally from Romania, central character of the novel written by Bram Stoker in 1897. Many talk about it, but few know the legend born from the true story of Prince Vlad Tepes (The Impaler ) reigning over Wallachia in the mid-15th century. The bloody legend of Count Dracula is strongly linked to the reign of Vlad Tepes and his mysterious region of southern Romania), the province that was the last bastion of Christianity against the Ottoman invasion. This prince, born in Transylvania in 1431 and crowned prince of Wallachia in 1436, moved to the palace of Targoviste. He would have impaled thousands of thousands of men: German traders from Transylvania, members of the nobility, Ottoman prisoners. In addition, he became known by the "Forest of Pals", place where the body of Turkish officers were erected on stakes, which were around his castle. However, this technique of massacre was very popular at the time among European princes. Historians qualify him as a very important prince in the fight against the Ottoman Empire, his father being part of the Order of the Dragon, an order of chivalry created in 1408 by Sigismund of Luxembourg, king of Hungary, to prevent the Ottoman expansion in Europe. In his wish to do justice, this bloody prince nicknamed after his death Dracula, that is to say the devil in the Wallachian language, shocks his contemporaries by his methods of sadistic torture.

- Oh! The terrible struggle I have had with sleep so often lately; the pain of insomnia, or the pain of fear of sleep, and with such unknown horror it has for me! As some people are blessed, whose life is neither afraid nor afraid; to whom sleep is a blessing that comes at night and brings only sweet dreams. ~ BRAM STOKER, Dracula ~

Vlad Tepes, Dracula

Il y a des ténèbres dans la vie et il y a des lumières, et vous êtes l'une des lumières, la lumière de toutes les lumières. ~ BRAM STOKER, Dracula, une légende. Mais bien avant la légende, était le prince Vlad Dracul. Dracula marque le début de la littérature gothique. Le mythe vampire, immortel, buvant le sang de ses victimes et les transformant en vampires, apparaît sous différentes formes dans l'imaginaire populaire.  Certes, le vampire le plus célèbre reste le comte Dracula, originaire de Roumanie, personnage central du roman écrit par Bram Stoker en 1897. Beaucoup en parlent, mais peu connaissent la légende née de l'histoire vraie du prince Vlad Tepes (L'Empaleur ) régnant sur la Valachie au milieu du XVe siècle. La légende sanglante du comte Dracula est fortement liée au règne de Vlad Tepes et sa région mystérieuse du sud de la Roumanie), la province qui fut le dernier bastion du christianisme contre l'invasion ottomane. Ce prince, né en Transylvanie en 1431 et couronné prince de Valachie en 1436, s'installe au palais de Targoviste. Il aurait empalé des milliers de milliers d'hommes: commerçants allemands de Transylvanie, membres de la noblesse, prisonniers ottomans. De plus, il s'est fait connaître par la "Forêt des Pals", lieu où étaient érigés les corps des officiers turcs sur des pieux, qui étaient autour de son château. Pourtant, cette technique de massacre était très populaire à l'époque parmi les princes européens.

Les historiens le qualifient comme un prince très important dans la lutte contre l'Empire ottoman, son père faisant partie de l'Ordre du Dragon, ordre de chevalerie créé en 1408 par Sigismond de Luxembourg, roi de Hongrie, pour empêcher l'expansion ottomane en Europe. Dans son souhait de rendre justice, ce prince sanglant surnommé après sa mort Dracula, c'est-à-dire le diable en langue valaque, choque ses contemporains par ses méthodes de torture sadique.

- Oh! La terrible lutte que j'ai eue contre le sommeil si souvent ces derniers temps; la douleur de l'insomnie, ou la douleur de la peur du sommeil, et avec une telle horreur inconnue qu'elle a pour moi! Comme certaines personnes sont bénies, dont la vie n'a ni peur, ni peur; à qui le sommeil est une bénédiction qui vient la nuit et n'apporte que de beaux rêves. ~ BRAM STOKER, Dracula ~
