Mary Takes Control of the Kingdom

---

Following the death of the male line of Burgundy, the Duchy itself passed back to the French king. The Kingdom of Burgundy itself had no such restrictions on its inheritance law however, and Mary of Burgundy, first dismissed by her grandfather as "only a girl," came to rule the remaining Burgundian lands.

Not only would she have to contend with the powerful neighbors of a now diminished Kingdom, but she also had to negotiate the politics of the provinces of the Netherlands. Seeking independence, these states challenged Mary's authority at every turn. She would finally subdue their challenges by issuing the Great Privilege, ensuring their interests were protected.

The Count of Charolais and the Edict of Blood

---

In 1567 the Count of Charolais arrived in the Netherlands, bringing Burgundian Elite troops and determined to break the Dutch Insurrection once and for all. The Count of Charolais issued the Edict of Blood, which allowed him to create a harsh military dictatorship with mass-arrests and courts of honor as a daily routine. The Terror of the Inquisition was intensified and hundreds of people executed. In 1568 the Count of Charolais arrested and executed Count Horn and Egmont, making William of Orange the only leader left to take up the flag. In 1570 the Count of Charolais by himself introduced a 10 percent tax even as the Dutch had just paid a two-year tax that the General estates had agreed upon on the promise of no more extra taxes. A General Strike spread in the Netherlands... In 1573 it was clear that the 'General of the League' had failed to subjugate the Dutch.

The Count of Maçon and the Union of Arras

---

In 1578 the Count of Maçon, member of the powerful Charolais family, arrives in the Netherlands. The Count of Maçon has good character and is efficient, as well as being both a good general and politician. In him William of Orange gets a powerful opponent. The Count of Maçon quickly understands that Burgundy can keep its mastery of the Netherlands only if it plays on the desires of the Catholic provinces. In 1579 Burgundy manages to get some of the southern Catholic provinces into the Union of Arras, which makes peace with Burgundy. However, some of the Northern provinces now create the Union of Utrecht - the first sign of a new Dutch nation. Later on, the Count of Maçon uses the Union of Arras as a safe base for an invasion of the North and the northerners are only saved by the murder-attempt on the Count of Maçon's two elder brothers in 1588, forcing him to leave for Burgundy immediately.
