The Rise of the Dutch Republic
Volume I.(of III) 1555-66

PART 2
35/165

Duke William of Bavaria, sister's son--of William the Fourth, gets himself established in 1354.

He is succeeded by his brother Albert; Albert by his son William.

William, who had married Margaret of Burgundy, daughter of Philip the Bold, dies in 1417.

The goodly heritage of these three Netherland provinces descends to his daughter Jacqueline, a damsel of seventeen.

Little need to trace the career of the fair and ill-starred Jacqueline.
