In 1568 the Counts Egmont and Van Horne are beheaded on the market in Brussels. It is the provisional conclusion of the escalating tensions between the nobles in the Netherlands and our monarch Philip II of Spain. And the beginning of a war that would last eighty years. The struggle is about power and freedom of belief. A nun's diary provides a dramatic picture of the Iconoclasm, Egmont's skull is examined to see if his face has been further damaged after his beheading and the search for Van Horne's grave in Weert ends for the time being in the courtyard of a monastery.
