Notes about Willem Bentinck

hij werd bij discreet van Keizer Karel VI te Wenen dd 29 december 1732 tot Graaf des H.R.Rijks verheven. Van hem stammen de graven van Aldenburg Bentinck af.
Willem erfde vanwege het gebruikelijke fideï-commis geen goederen in Engeland. hij deelde wel in het hollandse bezit van zijn in 1709 gestorven vader en werd zo heer van rhoon en pendrecht en eigenaar van huis Sorghvliet, het huidige Catshuis. zijn jongere broer charles erfde de oude landgoederen van de bentincks in overijssel en het kasteel Het Nijenhuis.
Willem was een zeer gereserveerde stugge aristocraat die desondanks de gave had om diplomaat te zijn. Hij werd een van de belangrijkste adviseurs van stadhouder Willem IV die aan Bentinck zijn verheffing tot erfstadhouder dankte. Er werd verondersteld dat Willem zo stug en gesloten was om praatjes te voorkomen; zijn vader was de favoriet en volgens vele tijdgenoten ook de minnaar van stadhouder Willem III geweest. Willem stond zichzelf niets joyeus en niets dat ook maar in de verte fatterig of verwijfd kon lijken toe.
