Daalder - Henry of Brederode Bust left

Henry III of Brederode held Vianen as a semi-autonomous lordship under nominal Habsburg suzerainty, a status he exploited aggressively. His daalders were struck during the precise years when Philip II's fiscal and religious policies were driving the Low Countries toward open revolt — Henry himself would become one of the founding signatories of the Compromise of Nobles in 1566, the petition that directly triggered the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt. Coins bearing his name circulated among a population that was, by the end of this issue period, actively at war with the authority that was supposed to oversee him.

Henry died in exile in 1568, the lordship's independent coinage ending with him.
