| Summary | "Willem de Zwijger, Prins van Oranje" by Ruth Putnam is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book focuses on Willem van Oranje, a pivotal figure in Dutch history known for his role in the Dutch Revolt against Spanish rule. It explores his lineage, early life, and the political landscape of his time, which shaped his journey as a statesman and leader. The opening of the book introduces Willem van Oranje not as a native prince but as a member of a noble family with humble beginnings from Nassau, connected to various legends about their ancestry. It traces the family's historical roots and the establishment of their estates, setting the stage for Willem's emergence. The text emphasizes the contrast between his title and the reality of his origins, hinting at the complexities of identity and leadership that will be explored throughout his life. As it delves into his family's background and the early influences that shaped him, the narrative prepares readers for an in-depth exploration of his character and the historical context in which he would later emerge as a key player in the struggle for Dutch independence.
