Everything about Orangist totally explained
An
Orangist was a person who supported the election of
William III,
Prince of Orange, the posthumously-born son of
William II, Prince of Orange, to the office of
stadtholder of the
Netherlands. The office had been vacant since the death of William II in
1650. William III was ultimately elected stadtholder
28 June,
1672.
The Orangists were often at odds with the anti-stadtholder
Republicans. Members of the Orangist faction included
Dutch Vice-Admiral Johan Evertsen.
William’s great-grandson was King William III of England, also William of Orange, after whom the Orange Order was founded in 1795.
