<strong>Netherlands best answer:</strong>
<p><i>Answer by Roderick F</i><br/> Spain wished to surpress the Netherlands because of the large number of Protestants living there. He sent an inquisition to sort them out. After a period of time, William of Orange and other Dutch rebelled against Spanish rule (Spain and the Netherlands were owned by the Habspurg dynasty)
Spanish fury is a term to describe what happened in Antwerp during the Dutch War for Independance (which lasted 80 years). The Spanish brutally ravaged Antwerp after a lenghty siege. they called tht destruction Spanish Fury</p>

Observed a pass of the NanoSail-D experimental solar sail in bright evening twilight (sun at -7 degrees altitude), attaining a max. elevation of 44 degrees in the east. The sky was still light blue, with the first stars visible. Just after culmination NanoSail-D became very bright again, flashing periodically to mag. 0 with a slightly variable flash interval of 1.2 - 1.5 seconds. Image taken with a Canon EOS 450D + EF 2.5/50mm Macro at F4.0, 400 ISO, 10s, fixed tripod. Below the image is the resulting brightness diagram. Image taken from Leiden town center.
