Dependent on Flanders? Did you know that Flanders was only one of the Seventeen provinces? That the Duke of Alba didn't want to come to these lands and considered his stay a "trap of exile" orchestrated by his enemies at the court of Madrid? That the causes of the Eighty Years' War go beyond a religious civil conflict between Catholics and Protestants? 👏🏻 Javier Rubio Monte is the director of Hidden Trenches.

Interview about Spain's Footprint in Flanders 🇪🇸The Spanish Footprint that Europe Tried to Forget | Interview about the Spain's Footprint in Flanders 🇪🇸 Why Are There Traces of Spain All Over Europe? Interview about Spain's Footprint in Flanders 📗 My book "The Footprint of Spain in Flanders" 👉🏻 https://amzn.to/40XhMIY The Spanish Footprint in Flanders invites us to rediscover one of the most forgotten—yet most decisive—epics in the history of Spain and Europe: the presence of the Spanish Monarchy in the former Low Countries. Javier Rubio reconstructs, with documentary rigor and narrative flair, the political, cultural, religious, and military role played by the Spanish in lands where much of the destiny of modern Europe was forged. IN THE FIELDS OF FLANDERS, SPAIN DID NOT ONLY FOUGHT: IT LEFT A PROFOUND MARK OF FAITH, ART, AND CIVILIZATION. Through letters Using previously unpublished documents, diplomatic testimonies, and chronicles from the period, the author rescues the human dimension of historical figures such as Philip II, the Duke of Alba, and William of Orange, freeing them from the prejudices inherited from centuries of propaganda and the Black Legend. The work illuminates the complex web of interests that linked—and pitted against each other—Brussels, Madrid, Rome, and Vienna, as well as the political and cultural work carried out by Spain in a territory that still bears that imprint in its architecture, art, language, and historical memory. 🕛 VIDEO TIMELINE 🕛 00:00-00:20 What will you see in this video? 00:20-00:52 Buy the book now!
