Anjou, irritated by restraints upon his authority,…

January 1583 CE

Anjou, irritated by restraints upon his authority, even attempts the seizure of power by military force, resulting in the so-called French Fury of January 17, 1583, when his troops try to capture Antwerp.

The coup misfires, but William manages to keep Anjou (who returns to France) in his post despite the outraged feelings of the Netherlanders.
