Why was Maximilian I imprisoned by the citizens of Brugge in 1488?

In 1488, Maximilian I was taken captive and held for more than three months by the citizens of Brugge due to widespread opposition to his policies in the Netherlands.

Maximilian, who lacked the political skills to manage the diverse social forces of the region, pursued a strategy characterized by high taxation, currency debasement, warfare, and the violation of established local privileges during a period of severe economic crisis. These actions provoked revolts, particularly in Flanders, where the power of the cities was overwhelming and often led to conflict with the ruling authority. During his captivity, Maximilian was forced to witness the execution of several of his companions from his window.123
