Caption: The Beheading of Egmont and Horn
Additional Description: On 4 June Egmont and Horn were condemned to death, and lodged that night in the King's House in Brussels. On 5 June 1568 both men were beheaded before the Town Hall on the Grand-Place/Grote Markt (Brussels' main square), Egmont's uncomplaining dignity on the occasion being widely noted. Their deaths led to public protests throughout the Netherlands, and contributed to the resistance against the Spaniards. - Wikipedia
