In 1568 he was accused of heresy and taken prisoner by the Dutch governor Maximilien de Hénin-Liétard . Van den Eynde was taken to the Treurenberg ( Vilvoorde ) prison in Brussels . Here he awaited his trial. In 1570 Jacob van den Eynde died in anticipation of this and was found posthumously innocent one and a half years later by the Blood Council ("Raad van Beroerten"). The goods confiscated by him were returned to his family.
