provinces had taken on the new'rellgion of the Protestant. Reformation
and those in authority were determined that heresy must be abolished
here. Count Van Egmond, prominent in ,nobility and in the service of
Spain against France, was a distinguished cavalry officer at this time
when the religious persecthion of the people of the Netherlands
became more and more brutal even to the point of mass murder. Van
Egmond did not swerve from his loyalty to King Philip, 'hut he did
refuse to become active in :the massacre.. Instead he and a close
companion, Count Hoorn, .Went out to meet the Spanish invaders in
hopes of arranging to get some relief from Spain's oppressive rule.
.. However, this proved futile for, as know, when the Duke Of Alva was
sent to the Netherlands to extinguish heresy the names of these two
were on the secret list given him by King. Philip. The result was they

MacKenzie Rebellion in 1837.
Anthony Van Egrpond was born in Holland on March 10, 1778, two
hundred years ago. His father' was John Arnold Gisbert , Lamoral,
Count of Egmond 'and Lord of GaUre, Colonel of the Regiment of •Vinati
in the Service of this Region and Drossard of the Region between the
Meuse, and the Waal. His nwther's maiden name was, Josephine
1410141316om of Huizen and' Jonkersteen. The baby was given the
names Ofeounf 'Anthonius Jacobus Wilhelmus Gisbert Lamoral. He
was baptized on March 19th and his godparents were Henrig, Count of
Ryland and Caroline, Baroness of Nyvenheirh, .Of his childhood: and
early teen age period we have little record. But, we do know, he lived
in a period of great turmoil. •
When Anthony was a young man. of eighteen-, the French Revolution
caused the greatypheaval in Europe that was to subside only after
thirty five years and Anthony's• life throughout this period was directly
conditioned by the whirling events into which he, was forced.
FOr a short time after the start of the Revolution his native.Holland
managed to remain neutral, but in 1794 it was overrun by the French
Republican Army. A considerable number of the Dutch rejoiced to see
their united Netherlands reconstituted as the, Batavian Republic in •
close alliance with France., But in the end the, had ter, pay dearly for
their loss of independence. In 1806 Napoleo appointed his brother
Louis, King •of Holland, though thepeople• notmant him, nor did he
want the job. After four years ,h= abdicated. Napcileon then
incorporated the northern provinces definitely, into the French Empire.
The Dutch, like other nations Napoleon had subjugated, had been,
compelled to supply contingents to the French Army. Ater Napoleon's
defeat at the Battle of Leipez the handwriting on the wall then forpold
that Napoleon's downfall was not far-Off. It wa's then the Dutch, who
had been cOnscripted, took this opportunity to break away from
Napoleon and join the British., The Belgians joined them in 1815 in
making Prince William of Orange king of the Netherlands. In the final
campaign against Napole on the Belgian and Dutch contingent under
Prince William of Orange (son' of the King) distinguished. themselves
at Quatre Bras and later at Waterloo. At Waterloo Van Egmond was •
severely vioUnded..
ANTHONY VAN EGMOND WITH ANDAGAINST NAPOLEON
As a young officer in the Dutch army .when Hollendwas invaded
Anthony was immediately conscripted, like most of his colleagues for
service'with the French. Details are not complete regarding the nature
of 'his service during the next few years, but we do know he was in
Mainz in'1802 and 1803 acting as a member of a court for judging oases
of. robbery. These so-called robbers' were actually German rebels
working against the French -invaders who merely robbed from those
who had to provide thepeasantry with enough food to keep them alive.

same fate: 'His co ment on this event ShOWS a telling sidelight on the
conditions of E ope at that time and as well gives us an insight Into
the characte of Van Egmond himself. in his own words he said; "Had

It was ,on an aey 9, 1807 .that Captain Anthony Van ,Egmond, in
n Napoleo's army still stationed In' Mainz, Germany, made an
application to be married. In order for pmission to be granted it was
necessary to obtain the approval of the soldiers' superior office.raiikell
as that of the church. Anthony readily got the permission of the church
but the army asked for a copy of the birth record of ills fiancee
(Susanna Deitz). Susanna 'at that time was employed in a hotel in
Mainz owned by her father, Konrad Deltz, who was Magistrate of the
Courts. Her mother was Anna Susanna Appel. SuSanna was born April
13, 1787 and was baptized on, the 15th of the same month. Witnesses to
the baptism were Maria Elizabetha, wife of George Nicolaii Mayor of
Shierstein and Anna Susanna, wife of Henrich Appel; who was Master
