Regarding Joos de Moor. The Watergeuzen mentioned on the marker might be best described as a group of patriotic privateers, whose capture of Brielle and Vlissingen in the Spring of 1572 might be regarded as the beginning of general revolt against Spanish rule, and thus the beginning of Dutch independence.
