Horn, Filips van Montmorency, Graaf van (or Hoorn, Filips van Montmorency, Graaf van) (
c.1524–68) Flemish soldier and statesman. He had a long record of distinguished service to both Emperor
CHARLES V and
PHILIP II of Spain but, as a member of the regency council in the Netherlands (1561–65), he followed a similar opposition course to that of his colleague, Lamoral
EGMONT. In 1566 he aligned himself with the Calvinists at Tournai, but then obeyed the regent's command to return to Brussels. Late in that year, he rejected
WILLIAM I (the Silent)'s plan for armed resistance to the Spaniards, and withdrew to his home in Weert. In 1567
ALBA found him out, had him convicted of treason and heresy by the Council of Troubles, and he was beheaded.
