Calvinists in the cities of the Netherlands organized thousands of armed groups to preach against Spanish rule in the form of missionary meetings and held insurrections. The great nobles connected with the interests of the bourgeoisie formed the "League of Nobles" headed by Prince William of Orange. In 1565, they sent representatives to Philip II of Spain to demand a change in their authoritarian policies. The following year, with William's approval, a delegation of about two hundred junior and junior nobles (including William's brother Louis) arrived
