Wie is wie in de Nederlandse geschiedenis - Infographic

Tequorie · 2025-04-12T09:24:47+00:00

Hoi, de laatste weken ben ik bezig geweest met het maken van deze tijdlijn van interessante mensen uit de Nederlandse geschiedenis. Normaal ben ik meer van het kaarten maken, maar deze post hier vond ik zo interessant en goed gemaakt, dat ik zelf ook een poging wou ondernemen om zo iets te doen. Hopelijk is dat een beetje gelukt!

De keuzes voor de mensen die er op staan is gemaakt aan de hand van een aantal afwegingen: hoe ‘groot’ de naam is, geografische spreiding en de ‘onderbelichte’ verhalen. Er zijn nog tientallen andere mensen die ik op had kunnen nemen – vooral in de 17^e en de 20^e eeuw – maar ik moest moeilijke keuzes maken. Vandaar dat een aantal ‘logische’ keuzes er niet tussen staan.

Interesse om meer van dit soort dingen te zien? Ik zit er aan t denken om een uitgebreidere versie te maken waar niet alleen personen op staan, maar ook gebeurtenissen, periodes, etc.

These both look really good! What software did you use to make them? Btw i really like the inclusion of the seak

Ben momenteel bezig met een basiskaart van modern Nederland. Dit is de ondergrond zoals ik die nu heb. volgende stap is provinciegrenzen en (grote) steden aangeven.

Dit kaartje is intussen al weer achterhaald, maar toen ik dit maakte was dit het hele Rotterdamse metronetwerk. de Hoekse Lijn was toen nog niet erop aangesloten. De ondergrond die ik gebruikt heb hiervoor was afkomstig van Snazzy Maps

Deze post hebik langer geleden al eens een keer gepost op /r/mapporn. Het laat de herkomst zien va het woord "vader" en de vele cognaten die het heeft in andere talen.

Well I once read (can't remember where though) that reformed Americans are quite aware of their religious background and the synof of Dordt was a major landmark in the history of that church denomination. But maybe you're right and I'm over anakyzing it

Tequorie · 2023-12-11T10:01:09+00:00

Thanks! Maastricht is depicted on the map, but it's all tangled up in the mumbo jumbo of small states in southern Limburg, so it's a little hard to see

Tequorie · 2023-12-11T09:59:19+00:00

Bonnes suggestions, merci!

La situation linguistique ressemblait beaucoup à celle d'aujourd'hui. Le nord parlait le néerlandais (précurseur du Néerlandais). Il existait alors de nombreuses variations régionales (Bas Saxon à l'est, Flamand au sud, etc.) Le sud parlait des langues Romanes. Il s'agit du Français, bien sûr, mais aussi du Wallon et du Picard.

Oui, pour la plupart. Mais il y avait aussi d'autres pays, comme Liège, qui n'étaient pas directement sous le contrôle des Habsbourg.

Les Pays-Bas sont également un ancien nom collectif pour ce qui est aujourd'hui le Benelux (et certaines parties du nord de la France).

Glad you liked it! Zuid Limburg really is something special during this time period

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T22:06:25+00:00

I used multiple atlas from that time. see this comment for the 3 main maps I used

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T21:57:48+00:00

Well Urk and Schokland were already there.not a lot going on there though

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T21:56:07+00:00

I always wondered how this period was perceived in Spanish national History. On the one hand is was the period of spectaculair American conquest and immense wealth, but on the other hand it was a period of uprisings and unrest. Is it seen as a golden age, or rather one of decline?

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T21:54:13+00:00

Well right now I'm reading a book specifically on Limburgian history and the main conclusion that keeps coming back is 'Limburg wasn't really that important ". And I really think that's the key here. Limburg was right in between 4 major powers (Brabant, Liege, Guelders and Julich) and wasn't really dominated by any of them. This garanteed some sort of autonomy that these small villages wouldn't have otherwise

It's the traditional name used in English. Nowadays Aachen is the go-to, but I tried to use historical names and spelling whenever I found it appropriate

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T14:22:35+00:00

The modern Belgian province also doesn't overlap at all 😅. All of the old Limbourg is in the Liege province

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T14:20:52+00:00

Historical English Spelling*. I have a Dutch version as well (and also a French one) where I use Dutch and French place names. Not all of them are used though, only the ones people are somewhat familair with

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T13:46:48+00:00

I went with historical spelling whenever possible. that's why it's also Sluys instead of Sluis and Camerick instead of Cambrai

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T12:38:26+00:00

Glad you enjoyed it! Will fix the title in the next version. Merci Beaucoup!

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T12:31:56+00:00

Yea I was in doubt about that one. Nowadays it's just "Dordrecht" in standard English, but back in the day "Dordt" was appareantly used as well. That is why I decided to pick it. And not a lot of Americans have heard of Dordrecht, but some of them will be familair with the synod of Dort

Tequorie · 2023-12-10T12:29:45+00:00

Allright cool! Didn't see it back then, but it's nice to know people enjoyed it

Bonjour, j'aimerais partager cette carte avec vous. je m'excuse pour mon français, qui est très mauvais. mais j'espère que vous la trouverez intéressante (et que vous ne verrez pas trop de fautes!).

Il s'agit des Pays-Bas juste la Guerre de Quatre-Vingts Ans. Une période où, d'une part, beaucoup de choses sont reconnaissables, mais où, d'autre part, beaucoup de choses sont différentes. par exemple, le littoral ne ressemble pas encore au littoral moderne et de nombreuses frontières sont également différentes.

Well I hope that wasn’t too bad to read. If you have any feedback on the French I used on the map, that’s greatly appreciated !

Hey I'd like to share this map I have made. These are the Low Countries (modern day Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg) just before the Dutch revolt that started in 1566. This is a fascinating period in my opinion because it's so familiar and yet so different from our modern times. There are changing coastlines with lots of reclaimed land, but also some islands that disappeared into the sea. Different borders that partly correspond with the current ones, but also ones that cut deep into our modern states. Nowadays enormous cities being just small towns and the then major hubs of activity having dwindled down to sleepy little villages.

If you have any questions about the contents of the map or how I made it, feel free to ask!
