Union Of Atrecht
The
Union of Atrecht
(French:
Arras
) was an accord signed on
January 6
,
1579
in Atrecht (
Arras
), under which the southern states of the
Spanish Netherlands
, mostly today in
Wallonia
and the Nord region in
France
, expressed their loyalty to the
Spanish
king
Philip II
and recognised the landlord,
Don Juan
. The parts that signed it, were:
Hainaut
Artois
Lille
,
Douai
and
Orchies
(
Walloon Flanders
)
These parts finally ended up in support of the Spanish king
Philip II
together with
Limburg
(not to be confused with the provinces in present-day
Belgium
and the
Netherlands
) and
Luxembourg
, of which
Alexander Farnese
, the
duke of Parma
, started to his conquest of the separating parts that joined the
Union of Utrecht
.
