Willem van Oranje (Civ4)

Willem van Oranje (24 April 1533 – 10 July 1584) was the main leader of the Dutch revolt against the Spanish. He leads the Dutch in Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword.
When the Dutch became more and more victorious in their revolt, the Spanish became fed up with Willem and put a price on his head. In the end it was Balthasar Gerard who shot him in the "Prinsenhof" (Prince's court) in Delft. His last words were, "Mijn God, Mijn God, heb medelijden met mij en met dit arme volk." ("My God, My God, have mercy on me and these poor people.") Balthasar Gerard was captured and sentenced to death.

== Trivia ==
* Willem van Oranje is perhaps better known to history by the English translation of his name, William of Orange. That, however, has sometimes caused confusion with the equally famous William III of England (1650 AD - 1702 AD).
