Notes about Friedrich I von Preussen

In 1702 stierf Stadhouder Willem III zelf ook kinderloos, een opvolgingsprobleem achterlatend. Zelf had hij geprobeerd om Johan Willem Friso, de zoon van de Friese stadhouder Hendrik Casimir, tot opvolger aan te wijzen. In Engeland werd Willem echter opgevolgd door Anne, de zuster van Mary. In Holland werd het Tweede Stadhouderloze Tijdperk uitgeroepen.

Koning Frederik I van Pruisen riep zich tot Prins van Oranje uit, omdat hij van stadhouder Frederik Hendrik afstamde en dus nauwer verwant was aan Willem dan Johan Willem Friso. Het Prinsdom Orange ging echter over op het huis Bourbon-Coti en in hun naam verdrijft koning Lodewijk XIV in 1703 alle protestanten uit de stad. De strijd om de nalatenschap zou zich nog dertig jaar voortslepen. In 1732 werd tenslotte het Traktaat van Partage getekend. Pruisen kreeg Lingen, Moers en Opper-Gelre, behalve Roermond, en zowel Oranje-Nassau als Brandenburg mochten de titel Prins van Oranje voeren.
