Orange And Stuart 1641-1672 by Pieter Geyl
The influential author of History of the Dutch-Speaking Peoples (Phoenix Press) describes the struggle between the House of Orange and the Regents of Holland in the mid-seventeenth century. In light of the links with the English House of Stuart he views the dynastic marriage of William II and Mary as the root cause of future conflicts. An absorbing narrative of intrigue and ambition.
