To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Finally, when Don John discovered that men in the pay of the Prince of Orange were proposing to seize his person, he retired hurriedly to Namur, seized the citadel of that town by surprise, and recalled the Spanish regiments who had left the country. On their side, the States, by bribing part of the Walloon com- panies quartered in the citadel of Antwerp, succeeded in making themselves masters of that place, the most important in the country. They summoned the Prince of Orange to Brussels, and ...he made his entry into the great Brabangon city on Septem- ber 3, 1577, in the midst of indescribable enthusiasm, and was proclaimed ruwaert or regent of Brabant. He immediately declared Don John an enemy of the country and offered the government to the brother of the Emperor Rudolf H, the Archduke Matthias, who recognized the Prince of Orange as his lieutenant. This was the triumph of the Orange party, but at the very moment signs of division appeared ; the Calvinists showed themselves aggressive and monopolized communal offices at Brussels, Ghent, and other towns, while many of the Catholics feared the ascendancy acquired by the Prince of Orange and were unable to forgive him for his religious tolerance.
