| Additional information |
Hendrik van Brederode — "de Grote Geus," the Great Beggar — used his lordship of Vianen as a minting platform partly because its semi-independent status gave him room to maneuver outside Habsburg monetary oversight. The Compromise of the Nobility in 1566 carried his signature, and within months he was hosting armed Calvinist assemblies on his Vianen lands. Philip II's patience ran out quickly. Brederode fled to Germany in 1567, died the following year, and the lordship's independent minting ceased with him.
