Alva countered by killing a number of convicted noblemen (including the Dukes of Egmont and Horn on 6 June), and then by leading an expedition to Groningen.

To prevent Prince William III of Orange (son of William II) from regaining the authority of his father, Johan de Witt held in his hands all the threads of administration, and occupied the same position of undisputed authority in the councils of the land as Oldenbarneveldt had done at the beginning of the century.
De Witt's administration was largely encompassed by the Dutch Wars with England (1652-1654 and 1664-1667), arising out of the first of the English Navigation Acts (1651) and the Dutch-English commercial rivalry.
De Witt sought to negotiate peace and William III of Orange was appointed Stadtholder and the brothers Johan de Witt and Cornelis de Witt were lynched by a orange-loving crowd, almost surely authorized by William III of Orange.
