Drawing from numerous European sources - pamphlets, chronicles, and literature - this monograph tries to unravel why and how the alleged freedom fighter became an icon in European thought. It demonstrates that Egmont unfurled an evocative power over several centuries and cultural regions, as his name could be deliberately instrumentalized by different groups of people in order to corroborate their own confessional and political programs. In addition, this book offers the very first systematic study of the phenomenon of mytho-genesis and provides a conceptual model that can be applied to analogous historical myths. 410 0$aBrill's Studies in Intellectual History$v266. 517 3 $aStudy of the figure of Egmont, the Dutch Revolt and its influence in Europe 606 $aStatesmen$zNetherlands$vBiography 606 $aMyth$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 607 $aNetherlands$xHistory$yCharles V, 1506-1555 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aMyth$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 676 $a949.2/02092 700 $aRittersma$b Rengenier C$01190611 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821451703321 996 $aMytho-poetics at work$93928697 997 $aUNINA
