The Silent

William of Orange (1544-1584) is credited with leading his country to independence from the Spanish Habsburgs. This proved to be a long, bitter struggle, typified by cruel massacres throughout the Low Countries, which only strengthened the resolve of his fanatical Protestant and Catholic supporters.
