Number of pages: 531
Notes: First published 1580 in a Dutch version with title "Chronyc. historie der nederlantscher oorlogen ..." The first two books are based on Adam Henricpetri's "General Historien der aller namhafftigsten und fürnembsten Geschichten ..." (1577), but the third and fourth comprise an independent compilation from contemporary sources. The whole work has been ascribed to Philippe de Marnix, who seems to have assisted in gathering material for the Dutch edition. Later French works with titles "Histoire de la guerre civile du pays de Flandres" (1583), & "Histoire des troubles et guerre civile du pays

(cont.) de Flandres (1584), published by Jean Stratius at Lyons, are based rather on Pedro Cornejo than on the present work. See P.J. Blok in Bijdragen voor vaderlandsche geschiedenis en oudheidkunde, 4th ser., v. 7, p. 204-205.
