Notes about Willem I (de Zwijger) Prins van Oranje Graaf (Willem I, (de Zwijger), Prins van Oranje, Graaf) van Nassau-Dillenburg

Willem van Nassau werd in 1533 geboren als oudste zoon van Willem de Rijke en Juliana van Stolberg. Hij groeide op op Slot Dillenburg tussen Keulen Frankfurt in een tijd dat het lutheranisme net opkwam als tegenhanger van het katholieke geloof. Willem’s ouders voedden de jonge Willem protestants op.

De erfenis

Over Willem’s vroege jeugd is vrij weinig bekend, maar zijn leven kreeg onverwacht een wending toen in 1544 zijn neef Rene van Chalon dodelijk werd getroffen door een kogel. Deze graaf van Nassau en prins van Oranje had zelf geen erfgenamen en liet zijn volledige erfenis na aan zijn neefje Willem. Om voor de erfenis in aanmerking te komen moest Willem echter wel katholiek worden opgevoed. Zijn vader stemde daarmee in en Willem vertrok vervolgens op zijn elfde naar de Nederlanden, om daar een katholieke opvoeding te krijgen. Eerst in Breda en daarna in Brussel aan het hof van Maria van Hongarije.

Willem veranderde van onbeduidend protestants jongetje tot een vermogende, katholieke, prins van Oranje.
