Edict of 1577

Edict of 1577

The Edict of 1577 (also known as the Perpetual Edict) was signed in February of 1577 by the new Spanish governor-general of the Habsburg Netherlands, Don John of Austria. This accord provided for the removal of Spanish forces from the Netherlands. Moreover, the edict agreed to uphold the tenets of the Pacification of Ghent. However, in July 1577, Don John began plans for a new campaign against the Dutch rebels. Elizabeth I approved of both the Pacification of Ghent and the Edict of 1577, and therefore offered loans and military aid to the Dutch. When it became clear that Don John would go back on his agreement, Elizabeth planned to defend the provinces with aid of £100,000 and troops against Don John if he attacked.
