Guillermo i de orange

Wikipedia

Wilhelm was born in the castle of Dillenburg in the Duchy of Nassau, today in German territory. The eldest son of William the Rich, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg and Juliana of Stolberg-Wernigerode, he was educated in the Lutheran faith. He had four brothers and seven sisters, all younger than him: John, Hermanna, Ludwig, Mary, Anna, Elizabeth, Catherine, Juliana, Magdalena, Adolph and Henry.

On August 25, 1561, William married Anne of Saxony, daughter of the Elector Maurice of Saxony. Anne is described in the chronicles of the time as “ugly and bad-tempered” and it is generally accepted that William married her to gain influence in Saxony, Hesse and the Palatinate.

In early 1565, a large group of lower-ranking nobles, which included William’s younger brother Ludwig, formed the Assembly of Nobles. On April 5, 1566 they presented the Compromise of Breda, a petition to the regent Margaret calling for an end to the persecution of Protestants.

On August 25, 1561, Guillermu married in second marriage with Ana de Saxonia, daughter of the author Mauricio de Saxonia. Anne was described in the chronicles of the dynasty as “ugly and of bad quality” and it is generally accepted that William married her to gain influence in Saxony, Hesse and the Palatinate.

In early 1565, a large group of minor nobles, including William’s younger brother, Louis of Nassau, formed the Assembly of Nobles. On April 5, 1566 they presented the Compromise of Breda, a petition to the queen Margaret requesting an end to the persecution of Protestants.

Three years later, the Assault on the Images made up for the disagreement in the Low Countries and Margaret contributed to the wishes of the Confederation on behalf of the nobility to restore the order. Likewise, she allowed some prominent nobles, among them William, to help the Confederation. At the end of 1566 and the beginning of 1567 it became evident that he could not keep his promises, and after the failure of several small-scale rebellions, many Calvinists, the majority Protestant group, and Lutherans left the country.

William was born in the castle of Dillenburg in the Duchy of Nassau, Germany. He was the first-born son of William the Rich, Count of Nassau-Dillenburg, and Juliana of Stolberg-Wernigerode. He was educated in the Lutheran faith. He had four brothers and seven sisters: Juan, Armando, Luis, Maria, Ana, Isabel, Catalina, Juliana, Magdalena, Adolfo and Enrique.

On August 25, 1561, William remarried Anne of Saxony, daughter of Elector Maurice of Saxony. It is generally accepted that William married her to gain influence in Saxony, Hesse and the Palatinate.

In early 1565, a group of lower-ranking nobles, including William’s younger brother, Ludwig of Nassau, formed the Assembly of Nobles. On April 5, 1566, they presented the Compromise of Breda, a petition to the regent Margaret requesting an end to the persecution of Protestants.

From August to October 1566, a wave of iconoclasm, known as the Storm of Images (Beeldenstorm in Dutch) swept through the Netherlands. Calvinists, angered by their persecution by the Catholic Church, and opposed to Catholic images (which in their view contradicted the second commandment), destroyed hundreds of statues in churches and monasteries. As a result, disorder spread in the Netherlands and Margaret acceded to the wishes of the Confederation in exchange for the nobility restoring order. She also allowed some prominent nobles, including William, to help the Confederation. In late 1566 and early 1567 it became clear that she could not keep her promises, and after the failure of several small rebellions, many Calvinists, the majority Protestant group, and Lutherans left the country.
