	Orange, Vaucluse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Orange (Arenjo in Provençal) is a town and commune in the département of Vaucluse, in the south of France.
		From the 12th century, Orange was raised to a minor principality, as a fief of the Holy Roman Empire.
		The city was part of scattered Nassau holdings until it was captured by the forces of Louis XIV in 1672 during the Franco-Dutch War war and was finally ceded to France in 1713 under the Treaty of Utrecht that ended the wars of Louis XIV.

	Maurice of Nassau
		Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange, the second son of William the Silent, by Anna, only daughter of the famous Maurice, elector of Saxony, was born at Dillenburg.
		Oldenbarneveldt perished on the scaffold, and the share which Maurice had in securing the illegal condemnation by a packed court of judges of the aged patriot must ever remain a stain upon his memory.
		Maurice, who had on the death of his elder brother Philip William, in February 1618, become Prince of Orange, was now supreme in the state, but during the remainder of his life he sorely missed the wise counsels of the experienced Oldenbarneveldt.

	Gustavus Adolphus (1594-1632) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		His experience of the feckless and selfish German princes convinced him that such a league could be effective only if it were organized and directed by himself, and military necessity in any case demanded a unified command that could not be directed by anyone other than himself.
		In October 1632 he did, indeed, lay the basis for a league of Protestant princes; but it was confined mainly to southern Germany, where the peril from a Catholic reaction was greatest, and the two greatest Protestant states—Saxony and Brandenburg—never became part of it.
		By supporting the German princes against the emperor, Gustav Adolf defeated the attempts of the Habsburgs to make their imperial authority a reality and thus played a part in delaying the emergence of a united Germany until the 19th century.
