This is much more than a good start - my cursory examination seems to indicate that it's well-written, well-organized, and fairly detailed. It does lack references though. LordAmeth 09:19, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

William III and Charles II

edit

Was Prince William III of Orange, the later stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland and Utrecht, really the son-law-of King Charles II of England? I know that Prince William II of Orange, stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland and Utrecht, was son-law-of King Charles I of England, but I'm not sure whether the same goes for William III and Charles II.

William III was the son of William II and of Henrietta Maria Stuart, the sister of Charles II So he was Charles II.'s nephew. And PLEASE could someone insert the sources for e.g. the shouting match between Obdam and De Witt? 77.7.84.44 (talk) 13:34, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Indeed, he was his nephew and the son-in-law of his brother James. I had the two confused...--MWAK (talk) 15:07, 17 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
