The Council of Troubles, also known as the Council of Blood, was established in the Netherlands by the Duke of Alva in 1567 to suppress the Protestant Reformation and address dissent against Spanish rule. It was notorious for its harsh measures, including the execution and imprisonment of thousands of suspected heretics and rebels. The council's oppressive actions fueled widespread resistance and ultimately contributed to the outbreak of the Dutch Revolt, leading to the Eighty Years' War for independence from Spanish rule.
