Leicester was made Governor and Captain General of Holland, Zeeland and the United Provinces in 1586. He made himself
unpopular and, after complaints from the states, Elizabeth conferred the command of the armies to Maurice second son of the
late Prince of Orange during a period while Leicester was absent. On his return he quit the provinces and distributed these
medals.
