"The proposal under consideration
by Brussels that tho historic Egmont
Palace be offered as the permanent

calls the career of that gallant and
ill-fated Count Egmont, once its oc
cupant, who was a conspicuous fig
ure in the sorrowful davs of the
Spanish inquisition." suvs a bulletin
Hist issued by the National Geo
graphic Society.
''Egmont's name is inextricably
linked with two other heroes of those
dark day of the Netherlands, which
then included ' Belgium the noble
William of Nassau, Prince of Orange,
and the bunt Count Horn. '
"Egmont's brilliant victories in the
war between Spain and France made
him a national hero, but aroused the
jealously of the Duke of Alva. Un

unwittingly made another dangerous

a dinner party -wheiT ewine flowed
freely the suggestion was made that
dice be- thrown to choose a man who
would fit out his servants in livery
to burlesque the detested cardinal.
The unfortunate Egmont was select
ed. Soon his retainers appeared in
coarse garments ogray. wearing a
fool's-cap on their sleeves.. Hence
the famous 'Fool's-cap livery' which
nobles soon donned. '
"Philip was compelled to' remove
the cardinal. A trip was the pretext
for his going.- Brussels citizens dis
played' a wit similar to that with
which tho Belgians annoyed the slow
witted German garrisons in 1915, bv
nutting on the cardinal's pahice a
sign. 'Fort Sale Immediately.' .
"Against William's advice Egmont
was sent on a mission to Spain to
protest against tho frightful vio
lence.. The simple minded envov was
dazzled by the rosy assurances or
the crafty Philio and returned proud
ly bearing scaled instructions' which
turned out to be orders for even more
drastic persecutions.
"Long Live the Beggars"
' "Egmont was at tho wedding of
Alexander, Prince 'of Parma, whon n
covenant, also disapproved bv Wil
liam, was made "in further protest
against the 'barbarous and ' violent
inquisition.' During a subsequent
discussion of a petition to the. duch
ess to send another envoy to Spain
tha petitioners were referred to as
beggars. - Count Brederode, the Pat
rick Henry of that perod, sounded
the slogan. 'Long live the beggars.'
Again Tgmont appeared inopportune
ly and, 'with William and Horn, had
to to'drink the toast which became a
revolutionary .war crv' nnd suggested

"The clear thinking Prince Willium
saw the time for resistance bad come.
Egmont. Horn and others persisted
in seeking surceasci.: from Philip.
William left the Netherlands, return

Egmont staved and his sincere; but
misguided loyalty cost his his head.
' "When the Duke of Alva was dis
patched to the Netherland with an
armed force armed with the mus
kets that were then a novelty Eg-,
mont was warned to flee.' Letters
from Philip and presents from .Alva
again tricked the soldier. Horn and
others also were duped.; Egmont re
ceived his last warning from a: son
of the duke, at whose home ho was
dining. But he persisted in his blind
trust, accented an invitation to Al
