The title "Prince of Orange" was created in 1163 by Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, by elevating the county of Orange to a principality, in order to bolster his support in that area in his conflict with the Papacy. The title and land passed to the French noble houses of Baux, in 1173, and of Chalons, in 1393, before arriving with René of Nassau in 1530.

In 1702, after William the Silent's gre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
