States Of Brabant




After the Duchy Of Brabant and all Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands came under the rule of the Dukes Of Burgundy , the States of Brabant became the host of the States-General Of The Netherlands , who used to assemble in Brussels .

In 1579–1580, during the Eighty Years' War , most cities and States of Brabant joined Dutch independence declaration ( Union Of Utrecht and Oath Of Abjuration ), but Spanish troups reconquered most of the territory of the duchy and restored Spanish catholic rule (except for North Brabant , see also Siege Of Antwerp (1584-1585) ).

By the end of 1789, the States of Brabant again declared independence, this time from Austrian Imperial Rule , and, on Januari 11, 1790, joined the United States Of Belgium . All Southern Netherlands "States" disappeared four years later, during French Revolutionary occupation.
