Queen Elisabeth of England, who had always refused to offer her sovereignty over the Netherlands, was willing in 1585 to send troops to support the Northern provinces in their fight against Spain. This army was commanded by a distinguished English nobleman, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, who arrived in the Netherlands in December 1585 where he was appointed Lieutenant General of the United Provinces. In 1586 he issued a coin ordinance which, for the first time, applied to all regions. On the new coins, the coats of arms of the regions united in the Union are placed together in one shield. However, this arrangement was in force for a short time and the regions retained their independence for the time being. After it became known that Elisabeth was negotiating with Parma about peace in the Netherlands, Leicester already returned to England in December 1587. The States General now decided to take sovereignty into their own hands and to continue the fight against the Spanish troops.
