  • The Conspiracy of Nobles (French: La conspiration des nobles) was a plot in 1632 to divide the Spanish Netherlands between the Dutch Republic and the Kingdom of France. The Belgian aristocrats behind the plot were frustrated at their exclusion from the decision-making process by Gaspar de Guzmán, Count-Duke of Olivares, who was chief minister to Philip IV of Spain, sovereign ruler of the Spanish Netherlands. Among the conspirators were Counts Hendrik van den Bergh and René de Renesse, 1st Count of Warfusée, the only two of the conspirators to act. The plan came to nothing, but the existence of the conspiracy had a major impact on subsequent political developments, and the defection of Hendrik van den Bergh was a serious blow to the military leadership of the Army of Flanders and the prestige of the Habsburg dynasty. Only in 1634 did the Spanish government begin to gain a picture of the extent of the plot, through revelations made by Balthazar Gerbier, Charles I of England's resident agent in Brussels. On the basis of Gerbier's denunciations, Albert de Ligne, Prince of Barbançon, spent eight years in prison (1634–1642) without being brought to trial. Guillaume de Melun, Prince of Espinoy, fled to France and was sentenced to death for high treason in absentia. The Duke of Aarschot, who had known of the plot but had dissuaded the conspirators, spent his final years under house arrest in Madrid for having failed to denounce it. (en)
  • De Samenzwering der Edelen (Frans: Conspiration des nobles) was een complot in 1632 om de Spaanse Nederlanden te verdelen tussen de Nederlandse Republiek en het Koninkrijk Frankrijk. De Zuid-Nederlandse aristocraten achter de samenzwering waren gefrustreerd omdat Olivares, de eerste minister van koning Filips IV van Spanje, hen niet liet deelnemen aan het landsbestuur. Onder de samenzweerders waren de graven Hendrik van den Bergh en René van Renesse, de enige twee die overgingen tot daden. Het plan faalde in zijn doelstellingen, maar het bestaan van de samenzwering had een grote impact op de latere politieke ontwikkelingen en het overlopen van Hendrik van den Bergh was een zware klap voor de militaire leiding van het Leger van Vlaanderen en het prestige van de Spaans-Habsburgse dynastie. Pas in 1634 begon de Spaanse regering een beeld te krijgen van de omvang van het complot, door onthullingen van Balthazar Gerbier, de gezant van Karel I van Engeland in Brussel. Op basis van de aanklachten van Gerbier bracht Albert de Ligne, prins van Barbançon, acht jaar in de gevangenis door zonder te worden berecht (1634–1642). De hertog van Aarschot, die de samenzweerders hun plan had afgeraden, bracht zijn laatste jaren onder huisarrest door in Madrid omdat hij het complot niet had aangegeven. (nl)
