Pacification of Ghent

The Pacification of Ghent was an alliance between the provinces of the Habsburg Netherlands signed on 8 November 1576. The main objectives were to remove Spanish mercenaries who had made themselves hated by all sides due to their plundering, and to promote a formal peace with the rebellious provinces of Holland and Zeeland.
