	WILLIAM II., PRINCE OF ORANGE - LoveToKnow Article on WILLIAM II., PRINCE OF ORANGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		William now felt that his struggle with Philip was a war a oulrance, and knowing that the United Provinces were too weak to resist the Spanish armies unaided, he endeavoured to secure the powerful aid of France, by making the duke of Anjou sovereign of the Netherlands.
		William, however, speedily opened secret negotiations with France in the hope of securing the armed assistance of that power for the carrying out of his ambitious projects of a war of aggrandisement against the Spanish Netherlands and of a rest oration of his brother-in-law, Charles II., to the throne of England.
		William was one of the ablest of a race rich in great men, and had he lived he would probably have left his mark upon history.
