Council of Blood

Court set up in the Netherlands in 1567 by the Spanish during the Revolt of the Netherlands. Established by the governor of the Netherlands, Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo, the Duke of Alva, it was intended to suppress resistance to the Spanish presence in the Netherlands. Sitting for 6 years, it heard over 12,200 cases: there were 9,000 guilty verdicts, with 1,000 people being executed. The fear it inspired drove many Calvinists out of the Netherlands.
