FREDERICK HENRY, PRINCE OF ORANGE, COUNT OF NASSAU

Additional reading P.J. Blok, Frederik Hendrik, Prins van Oranje (1924), the only modern biography, sound as to the facts, but rather unexciting; A. Waddington, La Rpublique des Provinces-Unies, la France et les Pays-Bas Espagnols de 1630 1650, 2 vol. (189597), predominantly based on French archives and, though slightly antiquated, still indispensable for the foreign policy of the period. The English-speaking reader can only be referred to P. Geyl, Geschiedenis van de Nederlandsche Stam, rev. ed., 6 vol. (196162; partial Eng. trans., The Netherlands in the Seventeenth Century, rev. ed., 2 vol., 196164), the standard work.
