Maurice of Nassau

(prince of Orange; Maurits van Oranje). Born Nov. 14, 1567, in Dillenburg; died Apr. 23, 1625, in The Hague. State figure and military leader of the Republic of the United Provinces (the Netherlands). Son of William I of Orange.

Maurice was stadtholder of the provinces of Holland, Zeeland, West Friesland (from 1585), Utrecht and Overijssel (from 1590), Gelderland (from 1591), and Groningen (from 1621). In 1590, Maurice became commander in chief. He was an outstanding military leader and military reformer. He introduced a standard training program for the troops and strict military discipline; he laid the basis for a new, linear tactic and improved the tactics of defending and laying siege to fortresses. (In the area of fortifications he was a forerunner of the Marquis de Vauban.) He created a new form of cavalry, the cuirassiers, and a light artillery. In the 1590’s he directed the final liberation of the republic from Spanish troops and won a number of victories over Spain, the main one at Nieuport in 1600. Maurice carried out a policy of centralizing the state and consolidating his personal authority. His conflict with the chief political officer of Holland, Jan van Oldenbarneveldt, ended in the latter’s execution.
