Much of it was then sparsely populated\u2014lands where wars were fought and territories were gained or lost.<\/p>\n<p>The map was published shortly after the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Twelve_Years%27_Truce\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Twelve Years\u2019 Truce<\/a>. Visscher incorporated unfolding news events, and the map appeared, repeatedly updated, in no fewer than eleven different states.

It was a war of fortresses\u2014cities were captured and recaptured, and borders shifted constantly. Most of Brabant\u2019s inhabitants remained loyal to the Spanish king; they did not regard the army of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maurice,_Prince_of_Orange\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Prince of Orange<\/a> as liberators, but as occupiers. After eighty years of warfare, the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Peace_of_M%C3%BCnster\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Peace of M\u00fcnster<\/a> was finally signed in 1648. The duchy was divided in two: southern Brabant remained under Spanish rule, while the northern part became part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dutch_Republic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutch Republic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Above and below the map image are city views of Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp, \u2019s-Hertogenbosch, Tienen, Bergen op Zoom, Lier, Helmond, Breda, and Mechelen.
