It also explains why the Habsburgs were eventually unable to gain control of the maritime affairs of the Netherlands, in spite of the support of the powerful Burgundian Lords of Veere, who occupied the central position of admiral from 1491 to 1558. From their power base on the island of Walcheren in Zeeland, known as the key to the Netherlands at the time because of its central location between Holland, Flanders, Antwerp and the sea, they held an ideal vantage point for exercising the admiralship. The result not only offers an illuminating insight into the organisation of the war fleet, maritime trade and fishery, privateering and prize law in the Habsburg Netherlands, but also puts the success of the later Dutch Republic in a new perspective. 410 0$aHistory of warfare ;$vv. 23. 606 $aAdmiralty$zNetherlands$xHistory 607 $aNetherlands$xHistory, Naval 607 $aNetherlands$xHistory$yHouse of Habsburg, 1477-1556 615 0$aAdmiralty$xHistory. 676 $a359/.009492 700 $aSicking$b Louis$f1966-$01293554 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910967470903321 996 $aNeptune and the Netherlands$94474912 997 $aUNINA
