He didn't say that. What he said is what I pointed in the previous post something more than two years ago.
Lundman wrote that in the south of Holland there are weak Mediterranean and Alpine strains and specially also in the Flemish population in Belgium.
What he exactly wrote was:
The non-Frisian Dutch population is racially more Faelish-Nordid in the north of Holland. In the south of Holland there are weak Mediterranean and Alpine strains. This is also true of the Flemish population in Belgium. In addition, we find Litoral strains in many places on the Atlantic coast of western Europe.
I simply asked a question to the forum.
Coming from the spanish "Tercios"?
It is known that the crown contemplated the marriages of our men in Italy and Flanders, among the troop as well as among the officers, like a source of problems. The commentators thought that the family weakened the soldier and distracted them from the service. There was even a late ordinance that prohibited the soldiers to marry (unfortunately probably we got lost good blood because descendant lack as losses during the wars). So it was even established norms that regulated the use of prostitutes. And there were possibly a lot of sexual contacts with the local population. If this has been able to influence or not in certain mediterranean strains in the areas where they stay that it is pure speculation but I thought at that time that some influence they could have left since Lundman wrote only about weak mediterranean strains. Anyway just some speculations.
