Background main Dutch Revolt In 1567 king Philip II of Spain , the overlord of the Habsburg Netherlands, sent Fernando lvarez de Toledo, 3rd Duke of Alba as governor general to the Netherlands with an army of Spanish mercenaries to restore order after the political upheavals of 1566 that culminated in the Iconoclasm Reformation iconoclasm Iconoclastic fury of that year.
