Jonathan Maberry Quotes

The Duke of Alva was a Catholic fanatic and advised the King to send him and an army into the Lowlands to root out and kill the heretics. In contrast, the Duke of Feria counseled allowing the lowlands tolerance and warned that if the Inquisition and Alva’s army were introduced and would be feared as Alva wanted, the might get desperate and do unexpected things like revolt.
