You rock Guys 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Johan de witt deserves an episode
@@theon9575 @theon9575 the fact that not many people know about him outside of the Netherlands is more reason to make a video. He and others like Grotius or oldenbarnevelt belonged to a movement that profoundly shaped the modern world. Huygens deserves a video of his own as well, truly one of the greatest, most interesting intellectuals and scientists in history, doesn't get the attention and praise he deserves.
@@theon9575 fell to the english?😂
@@theon9575 It all depends on what you consider to be lost. The Netherlands was no longer fighting for its survival during the Anglo-Dutch Wars
@@theon9575 Lost, in my opinion, would be how Ireland ended up today, Netherlands not winning the 80-year war, not being their own nation, etc.
@@theon9575 In the sense of being lost, England never conquered the Netherlands. Lost would be the British taking over India, South Africa from the Boeren. etc. It doesn't mean the English fell to the Dutch just because they invaded England or defeated the English in certain battles, Etc
❤Great documentary! Thank you for posting!❤❤❤
William of orange was one of the most important "leaders" of the english people, and as you elaborated, by containing the french ambitions he practically is the founder of the english hegemony of the seventeenth century.
Forgive my Portuguese interference here, but what's with the "leaders?"
@@franciscolima1762 I mean with leader " a king, a queen, a prince, a military commander , a revolutionist, a prime minister >>>
@@franciscolima1762 Probably because William wasn't the king or president of the Netherlands but something in between. The Dutch title Stadholder was 1 weird and 2 not known or comparable to any other position in any another country.
Isn't Max Jaffa a descendent of his?
"You are on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of Stadtholder."
Thanks for this great video. I live in Hellevoetsluis, the port town in which William left with a huge fleet to England. It must have been an impressive sight. Greetings from Holland.
Why don't you make playlists for old and new clips? Because sometimes it is difficult to find old clips Thank you for your videos This is awesome great work stay safe You are one of the best channels on UA-cam I hope you continue on this and I learn something new every video from you .
James Wolfe the hero of Quebec would be a interesting profile
Try saying that in a Québécois Pub
@@thomasdonovan3580 Not something I would try on my best day, I would add Montclam would a great profile also.
Love your English monarchs videos! Please do Queen Anne next!
Very well done enjoyed this immensely thank you
Love the video can you do more World War 2 profiles❤
Love this narrator
I do too!
My daughter attends William and Mary University, which was founded in 1693, in Williamsburg, Virginia. The second oldest University after Harvard in the United States.
I’ve been waiting for this episode!!
YES! The co-monarch of Mary II thanks For this! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yep that's it right there!
It's misleading to suggest here that the originally- French House of Orange title was his family's traditional heritage. Not so !!
The first line of Het Wilhelmus, our national anthem, says it clearly: 'Wilhelmus van Nassau, ben ik van Duitsen bloed!'
The Orange title had been much more-lately inherited & tacked on by William the Silent, Father of the Dutch Fatherland, from his cousin who had married a Princess from the French House.
William himself was of the Nassau family which had an important base in Breda (in now-Netherlands) but its true base, roots, tradition, wealth & influence derived from the powerful (now) German Nassau family. The princely Orange title was added later, really, and then he was properly referred to as "Willem III of Oranje-Nassau".
The Nassau-bit was dropped MUCH later by the family when Wilhelmina became Queen (because it was a male-only line), when it would have finally became correct as you say,"Willam of Orange." Not here, though!
It's not trivial in a vid focussing on English/Dutch King Billy's origins, because they were really (Lutheran) Nassau in what's now Germany. Not Orange in distant Southern France.
Remiss in a video on him not to mention he was a Nassau 🧐❓
thank you for this information !
I believe it was England and English before 1706/07 British were birthed when the signing of the political treaty with Scotland 1706 and treaty with England 1707 .
The joining of the crowns had happened 103yrs earlier in 1603
He also signed the Bill of rights 1668.that gave us our English freedoms for all time never to be removed. the British have been trying to hide this ever since, starting in 1707.
Glad you're featuring lesser known figures instead of world war 2 related figures... there are way more interesting parts of human history besides world war 2. Love this narrator. Thanks for the video.
I appreciate the tenor and tone of your work, a methodical deliberate presentation of the events/timeline. However, I would have thought that the relationship between William and the Bank of England with the City of London would reveal the less obvious power relationships that were primary motive forces in the real politics of the period. Outstanding narration, immensely listenable. Cheers
We have King William of Orange to thank for the civil and religious liberties we enjoy today.
Great programme.
Excellent narrator.
Please note: At 19:43 in the video it is said "....to extend France's Western Border ......" . Should it not be : France's Eastern border ?
Very informative
Superb as always! Not the most likable monarch, but interesting and complex.
I’d hope to see a documentary of king Hassan the 2nd. I’ve watched most of you’re documentary’s and I would love to see a Moroccan based documentary.
I wonder what effect it would have had on world history if Mary and William had had children?
that might have made the Netherlands part of the UK
Or, for that matter, the UK could well have become part of the later Kingdom of the Netherlands, because it was a Dutch leader who saw off King James II, not the other way round. King William was, after all, just as English as he was Dutch, his wife Mary was the English Princess Royal, and the couple's focal palace became Het Loo (located in NL but largely financed by English taxpayers, as were his Dutch/English boyfriend's holdings conveniently nearby). The "Germans" including Victoria would never have ruled.
The resolution of the Napoleonic Wars following Waterloo that resulted in the formation of The United Kingdom of The Netherlands (ie what is now NL, Belgium & Luxembourg) would have been in personal union with the UK (England Scotland & Wales) & would have formed a formidable country under 1 King, with far reaching consequences, and enormous colonial wealth when put together.
Mary did become pregnant once, but miscarried the child. So it was a close call.
Perhaps less well explored is if William had remarried after Mary's death and then had a child. He or she would have been the heir to the throne not Anne.
It was already established that the house of Hannover would succeed. With pretty much the same agreement as the bill of rights. This wasn't that weird because the Dutch king was an elected position. The only reason that people of the house of Orange-Nassau was always "king" was because they knew their leader needed to have some prestige, since all monarchy's have that. (so also nephews instead of children could be elected for life).
However with much struggle their child could claim both thrones and the differnces eventually would lead to internal collapse. The British empire as we have known it today would have been even more dominant. The only thing that was holding the Dutch down all their time was the lack of population.
@@theon9575 The capital would probably moved to London at some point. Just like happened when the Franks conquered France. Which would always lead to a split in country.
I live in Orange, named for the price of orange……👌🏼
Ho Chi Minh, please!
Yes, and then the whole truth and nothing but the truth, please, about this extraordinary man who led his people in a war against the United States and WON‼️
Actually house of Nassau.. Germans are everywhere
Should have mentioned English naval defeats in the Third Anglo-Dutch War. It explains why parliament gave up hope of a quick victory.
The narrative of the Glorious Revolution is also told from a very Anglo-centric perspective. Nothing about Dutch concerns for a second Anglo-French invasion and it is debatable how representative the Immortal seven were.
And the British army and navy did want to fight. The navy just failed to intercept the Dutch fleet, while the army fell apart after James II fled
Superb,and very informative video.,¿W & M. gave us our Constitution, the Bill of Rights, ending Monarchy by Divine Right,
and this Bill of Rights,taken by the Pilgrim Father's to the 13 colonies in America later became the foundation of the American Constitution.
The Pilgrim Father's settled in America long before the reign of William and Mary
England had a bad habit of deposing English kings and inviting more maleable foreigners to hold the big seat.
James didnt have any of his older brothers survival skills or the sense to keep his catholicism in his heart if he intended to rule a protestant people.
Charles II was undoubtably Catholic. He waited till he was on his death bed to make it public. Had James been a little more secretive he might have lasted.
The modern politician will teach you that lying about your conscience is right if it keeps you in power for a few more years
Canadian history was so boring i fell asleep in school but I'd love some history from my homeland!
It's not Canadian history that was boring 😂.
It was your history teacher's inability to teach an interesting topic in an engaging way to uninterested students who needed more sleep!
I'm from the USA and we have some interesting history but I really really enjoyed learning more about European history than anything . if you're Canadian and I'm from the USA our ancestors essentially came from Europe .last year I took a Heritage DNA test and I am 59% English, 21% Southern Italian and Greek and 20% Eastern European that's all it said on my test but my daughter took another DNA test and hers said Romanian ..I wasn't expecting that at all so I was quite shocked to see anything from Eastern Europe /Romania , however my dad's grandmother and my great grandmother had a French maiden name so we thought she was French but she was actually Southern Italian and Romanian .Now that I think back about her looks she definitely looked More Southern Italian and possibly Romanian because she had very dark hair and eyes and somewhat Olive colored skin , which fortunately I inherited. my mom's family were straight up and down English all the way .dad's family were here in the colonies prior to the Revolutionary War .
@@theon9575most likely so because here in the USA we learned about Canadian history and I thought it was pretty interesting.we have the revolution a couple hundred years after becoming a colony of Britain, but even up to World War II I believe Canada was still part of the UK . when did Canada gain total independence from the United Kingdom ?
@@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 .... mmm I think we're talking about 2 different things. It's not history itself that is interesting or uninteresting, but our own interests and attitudes that see it so.
Your own background, age, what you're curious about determine what you think is interesting. In Canada, the history of white & European, the English & French squabbles to take-over the land and settlement in the last few hundred years bores you, but I find the history of the few thousand years BEFORE that, of the First Nations, who were they and how they got there, very interesting, because it's anthropology.
On the other side, I know & work with some Chinese people living in the USA and they find European history trivial and not interesting.
It's about you, not the history. History is just the story where you seek to understand yourself and "where you're coming from". That's the joy of it.
He was first and foremost a good politician and diplomat, who also seemed to be quite brave in battle. The fact that the later Frederick II of Prussia saw him as an example can be regarded as a testimony.
He was brave to the point of craziness. But his calvinism probably helped him to be so brave. He strongly felt that he was destined by God for his tasks
He is known as King Billy.
Oh, yes, William ... the beginnings of the Orange Order parades in Northern Ireland.
Excellent and thorough production, as expected from this channel!! However, Bonnie Prince Charlie could have been briefly mentioned as the last Catholic pretender to the British crown.
It's unfortunate the increase in Representative government came at the expense of religious toleration.
Thanks, but i feel like "conqueror of Britain" would have been a flashier title.)
Noooo, that's Dustin Hoffman in a wig. Yeah, definitely Hoffman;)
There is perhaps even more in your well observed comment than even you realise. Good king Vilheim had certain, proclivities, if I may plagerise please. Tootsie.
One of the most important accomplishments of William's reign, which would have enormous long term significance for Britain's development as both a major political and economic power, was the passage of the Tonnage Act of 1694 which, among other things, established the Bank of England. The Bank received its Royal Charter on July 27, of that year. The BofE is generally recognized as the world's first national central bank, and it had a massive influence on stabilizing Britain's national debt and currency, thus contributing to a highly stable economy in a world where such was not altogether common. This was accomplished chiefly by minimizing the risks of a sovereign debt crisis which was a common event among the various European kingdoms of that era.
One of the many Dutch things William brought over
True very overlooked and important economical change, but the introduction to the stock exchange was probably the number 1 change.
33:15 these colonists were only 30y into it, they were still considered Dutch subjects up until the early 18th century when they became British 'subjects'. Boer (farmer) is a profession not and identity historically speaking. In 1707 Hendrik Biebouw (Bibault), a 1st generation huegenot I assume called himself an 'Africaander' which is when we first started seeing seperate identity other than Dutch. Boer only came during Anglo-Boer war, when Brits labeled us this.
As a side note, my ancestors aren't from the two so called boer republics, they're from eastern part of cape colony (eastern cape) and up until the union in 1910 and little aftwards they could still speak Dutch pretty well maybe not perfect but passebly, my great grandma who lived during this time even had a dutch children's book which was printed in England a little before she was born, which I have now.
There's virtually no difference between boer and Afrikaner today. (Only on social media, which tells you something).
But historically speaking dont confuse an profession with an chosen shared identity of Africaander (Afrikaner) .
To the little gentleman in black velvet 🍷🥃
hail the king of moles
It seems he did well in a very difficult period. Was the reign of William and Mary and William alone viewed as one or two reigns?
He as was never crowned King like Prinze Phillip of Greese who married Queen Elizabeth
He was crowned king, he and his wife Queen Mary II were joint monarchs until her death then he reigned alone for a few years
Charles II had no children, and the crown passed to his brother James II and was declared, Roman Catholic.
The English, however, they assumed James II would be succeeded by his Protestant daughter, Mary, and her husband William of Orange.
By the way, in 1685 James II that time had no sons.
In 1689, Parliament formally offered, the crown to William and Mary.
And because both of them had no child, parliament passed an act of settlement in 1701 to regulate succession to the crown.
However, the crown was to go to, Anne, younger sister of Mary.
And if, Anne, dies without a child.
The crown, was to go to Protestant Sophia of Hanover, or her issue .
Sophia was grand-daughter of JAmes I, the Roman Catholic son of James II was, nevertheless, excluded from the crown.
In 1714 the crown passed to Sophi's son, who became known as King George I..
I may have to watch the video..

The orange sash is still worn
For god and ulster 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Yes there was a photo of a rather dashing Jeffrey Donaldson, in today's Sunday World, sporting a sash , his father's presumably. It's nice to retain such heirlooms in the family so to speak.
No now I wouldn't have said he was gay , but if I'd dropped a shilling in front of him , I'd have kicked it for three miles before I'd bend to pick it up.
@@jamesoneill2933 yeah it is beautiful, almost as beautiful as the ones worn by all the Catholic clergy who have touched up youths, Paudie McGahon kiddy fiddler, Jerry Adam’s covered up his brother fiddling his kids and that’s not to mention Glasgow’s very own Celtic and all their abuse claims
Belgium was one of the liw countries together with Luxemburg. Nowedays they still hve a bond called the Benelux
At the time most of Belguim and Luxembourg were called the Spanish Netherlands. Belguim did not exist as a country until 1830
You aint much if you aint dutch!
Or if you Dutch yaint much 😂
Or if you Dutch yaint much 😂
Its Stadhouder nit Stadholder which means citykeeper
No! It has nothing to do with citykeeper or cityholder its a bastardisation from the German Statthalter wich means holder in sted of or instead of
So the title is second in command or Deputy
It is always surprising that English historiography differs from what national historiography indicates.
He is one of the reasons that Prince Phillip and Prince Albert were never made king.
REMEMBER 1690 KING BILLYS ON THE WALL 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 NO SURRENDER 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧 SHANKILL ROAD 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Why they/you say no surrender? For who? For what?
Why the union jack flag he was Dutch lol
@@domsmithsen he was the king of Britain you absolute clown lol
@@domsmithsenin Scotland they or some still celebrate him with the Orange Order March every year.
@@domsmithsendont confuse him with facts, some English folk think England starts at Jobn O'Groats. 😅😅
Check the guys track record
So, Wales didnt have a king then?? Its always england, scotland and ireland and rarely a me tion of Wales. We are always forgotten. We may aswell go it alone 🤷♀️
Wales was included in the Kingdom of England from the reign of Henry VIII and didn't legally become a seperate part of the UK for many purposes until the 1950s
Clearly England belongs to the oranges. Give it back.

As a Dutch studies scholar, this is rather well done factually but does the narrator know any other adjective apart from “preeminent”?
Good progranmes, lots of info...downside is the drowsy boring automated narration
Why there is no mention of John Churchill ( Grand Duke of Marlborough ) ?
Just Duke not Grand Duke and he was more prominent in the next reign
@@pedanticradiator1491 And he was only an Earl in this period
