This dapper gentleman was born in 1533 in Dillenburg (Hessen, Germany) as Count Wilhelm von Nassau-Dillenburg. He was the main leader of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish that set off the Eighty Year’s War and resulted in the formal independence of the Republic of the United Netherlands in 1648. As the most influential and politically capable of the rebels he led the Dutch to several successes in the fight against the Spanish. Declared an outlaw by the Spanish king in 1580, he was assassinated in Delft (Netherlands) four years later.

In the Netherlands he is known as the father of the fatherland, they even wrote him a song which was calld Het Wilhelmus and declared the Dutch national anthem in 1932. Also, he was one hell of a good looking man. No wonder Dutch people practically worship him!
